Thanks Nick for bringing this to our attention!

I will be creating a bug ticket so that our Development team can look into the issue.

We have some basic reporting planned as phase two of the AAM logging feature. Initially these are needed by AAM auditing purposes as AAM needs these raw logs for this. I will update he when I have a more concrete timeline for the release.

Hi Nick,

Yes, you could create a service that does not give the user access to any content on the site and allow it to be purchased. Since there is no official support for the concept of Print only access to the website, you might run into some odd things depending on how and where the print only service options are displayed and how your settings are set up to display them.

You will need to play around with the ordering of the services and settings(in the appropriate url and block settings) to make sure the print only services do not display where you don't want them and order them so that when you get to the purchase page the print only services are segregated from the services that grant online access.

If you have any specific questions about settings for this Customer Service will be happy to assist.

Hi all,

This sounds alot like the kind of information that could be extracted from the AAM tracking logs. These are basically logs that allow AAM to confirm your circulation numbers for site access. We make an entry every time a user that is loggged in and has a service accesses otherwise restricted content. Basically these are your subscribers accessing the site.

I have heard of sites that have created a script to ingest these csv files and provide the information you are looking for, like how many of the subscribers are visiting the site in a given month.

I added some links in my description to some docs that we have on http://help.bloxcms.com . Please feel free to give our customer support folks a call if you need further assistance and they will be able to help you get that set up.

Hi Nick,

There is a way to make this happen currently.

1. Go to the block editor for /site/forms
   1. Open the form index block and and in the appearance tab content fieldset add "/site/forms" the the base url setting. This setting limits the links displayed to only those that are assigned to that base url.
2. Create a url in the url map that can be used to assign forms to that you don't want displayed and assign the forms skin to it. Instructions for setting up a url and assigning a skin to can be found here LINK
   1. 1. open up the form you want not to display and assign it to that url in the properties>General tab>url setting. You can see how to assign a form to the url you created here

The forms assigned to the second url will not display in the form listing on the site forms page and you will be able to provide a link directly to any of the forms there as well.

Best Regards,

Hi Kevin,

While we do offer the ability to customize the paywall display in the Zen template platform. It was difficult to change default paywall display options there due to the non-responsive nature of that platform. We have been able however in the Flex platform to offer some options to display service offerings directly with the paywall as well as a modal window option to display them in. I will include a couple of screen shots here of some of the options available for paywall display out of the box.

Before Logging in there is an option to display in a modal window:

After signing in if you do not have a subscription you have the option to display the service offerings in an accordion panel right in the modal:

Hi Nick,

You should be able to set the default quantity and min quantity to 1 on that list option in the product gadget. This will set check the option and require that it have at least one in the quantity.

Thanks Andrew for the question. We don't currently have this functionality outside of the e-Edition web application. If offline viewing is the a goal for your users we have been working on a live e-Edition app that will facilitate this that will be available soon. Our goal is to provide offline access in a way that is in the spirit of the Live e-Edition which is to provide any additional related content available from the web site when offline.

We are always looking to improve usability for the product especially as technologies change so quickly. I will take this under advisement as we move forward.

Based on your specific situation, I would recommend looking at our MediaSpan Circulation Pro integration. Instead of copying and pasting credit card numbers manually, and then integration with via a CSV service, we would actually pass the purchasing and authentication process directly to Circulation Pro, where everything can be handled there.

There are fees for this integration (on TownNews and Mediaspan sides), but I think there is great value both in time saved four your staff and in the real-time Single sign on integration for you users.
