Core Code Error - how do I report?

Hello Shopify,

I have been trying to find a way to have a sequential, timeline blog - which I can force using publish date.

However, in working on this I discovered two core coding issues:

  1. Continue Reading: The ‘continue reading’ area DOES NOT display on mobile web unless a picture is added to the blog. There should not need to be a picture.
    • REQUEST: please update the code so that a picture is not required.
  2. NEXT: in mobile web, there is a ‘next’ banner that appears at the top. Very nice functionality, except in a sequential, timeline blog it goes backwards (i.e. to what the system thinks is a newer article -vs- to the next one ‘down’ in the sequential, timeline list).
    • REQUEST: please make this banner available in the UI in the editor, make it optional to have as an on/off toggle, -or- (and this is the option I would request) allow the blog creator to select either a forward or backward in terms of which article is next.

Thank you!

Hi @iamEkho

To address your issues:

  1. “Continue Reading” on mobile: The issue with the “continue reading” link not appearing unless there’s a picture is likely due to CSS or theme limitations. You can update the theme’s CSS to ensure that the “continue reading” link appears even without a picture.
  2. “Next” Banner Issue: This behavior happens because the “next” banner is following the default article order. A custom solution is required to adjust it for a timeline. You can modify the template to allow the creator to choose whether to move forward or backward through the timeline, or make the “next” banner toggleable in the editor.

Consider consulting a Shopify expert to implement these customizations.

If you have other questions, I am willing to answer them more.

Best regards,

Daisy
