Dual article orientation

Hi guys - I've seen posts in the pasts where Adobe planning on releasing an update to DPS that allows a publisher to have two articles with two different orientations within one collection. e.g. Blue Collection can have Blue Article 1 in vertical orientation and Blue Article 2 in horizontal orientation. When is this update going to be released? I have a client who would like to use full page bleeds to exhibit his vertical and horizontal images and can't do that with the new DPS 2015 until this is released. Thanks!

    No, that's not right. You can add portrait and landscape fixed-layout articles to the same collection, and they'll both display, but one will have severe letterboxing. And if you rotate the device, nothing will change. I believe the feature you're referring to would allow users to rotate the device to display the article in a different rotation, such as a landscape spreadsheet in a portrait app. That's not available yet.

    So right now if I have an article in landscape orientation and another article in portrait orientation, I cannot have those two articles in the same collection - even if the articles are in HTML. Further Adobe has no current plans as to when to introduce such a feature?

    Hi David, there aren't any plans to allow two different articles to appear based on the device orientation. We have had discussions about enabling dual-orientation apps; however, I don't have a good timeline for when we would enable that. The scope still relies on a single article file for both views. If you create HTML articles then the article would take up the entire screen in both orientations. For fixed-layout designs from InDesign the content would scale up to fill the width or height, then letterbox or pillbox (depending on orientation).

    Regarding Magento integration, I'm not really sure. I sent your message to a couple folks who may know better than I.

    Hi guys - haven't gotten an answer on this yet or the previous question I posted. If I wanted the articles that I publish in DPS to be published from Magento - is this possible using Adobe Experience Manager?
