Thanks for the link. I'll post over there as well!

Admin please feel free to delete this post since it is essentially a duplicate of Kevin's link above.

Hi, Christine. All of this certainly looks interesting... thanks for the update! Might the Broadcast "glitch" in TCMS be fixed as well (see Support Ticket #625665)? In a nutshell, that glitch occurs when you set Broadcast attributes for an asset in TCMS, Save & Close the asset, and if the asset is re-opened again before the scheduled Start Time the Broadcast attributes disappear. I first opened that Support Ticket in August of 2017 and it's still an issue, so hopefully this will be fixed in the new version of BLOX.

That sounds like a neat feature, Christine, thanks for the reply!

Any way we can get a "Live View" button in TCMS?

It would be helpful to add a field in the asset in TCMS/CMS that would contain the asset's live URL. This would help when linking past stories inside current content. For instance, when referencing a past story with a link in a sentence, we could simply search for the past story's asset, open it, and copy the URL from a field in the asset, instead of having to click "Live View" to get it. 

Our regional manager clued us in on a work-around for anyone who has had trouble with this (for some reason the support rep I called didn't mention this). If you find yourself forced to the desktop version of the CMS on your iPhone, here's how to view the mobile version:


1. Once you log in, you can go to the top-right menu (should be your email address) and switch to mobile interface.

2. Once you’re on the BLOX GO interface, you can bookmark or “save to homescreen” the URL to ensure you always go there first (the URLs between the two interfaces are different).


Hi, Christine. Could you please have the developers take a look at the updated version of Blox Go? When I went to check it out on my phone all I could get was the desktop version on my iPhone. When I called Town News for support, I was told that the new Blox Go displays the desktop version if the screen has a certain dimension or pixel count (or something along those lines). In any case, the rep I spoke with pretty much said that if Blox Go was used on an iPhone 8 or above it would be forced to the desktop version. He also admitted it was a problem, because the desktop version is virtually unuseable on an iPhone.


If this is actually the case it's a step backward for Blox Go and needs to be addressed ASAP

Thanks, Christine. Any kind of timeline for when to expect the roll-out?

OK, cool... where do I find it in the TCMS?


I don't see this option in my TCMS but we are not running the Flex system... am I missing something or is it only available on Flex sites?
