I am using a "Hide" checkbox function in my CMS admin and was wondering if there is a way to "preview" the page before I make it live?

Are you using the actual "hidden" special fieldname? Or did you create your own?

Hi,

What you can do is set up a separate viewing page where you can preview posts before unchecking the "hidden" field.

To view only records that have been hidden you can use something like this:

list($listingsRecords,$listingsMetaData)=getRecords(array(
        'tableName'    =>   'listings',
        'ignoreHidden' =>   true,
        'where'        =>   "hidden=1",
        ));

Hope this helps.

ok, thanks - would I need to create a "preview" page for each individual page on the site?

Hi,

You would need a preview page for each section you wanted to preview.
