Preview problem

I think I need to add more code to my pages for the preview to function correctly, but I'll let you folks tell me.

When I make a change and I click the preview button, the page loads correctly, but I do not see the change I made.

The code I have included in my php page is:
<?php echo $contact_jcsRecord['content'] ?>

Am I missing something that needs to be in place for the preview button to show me changes before I save?

Thanks!!

I tried creating a special page (program-Details.php) and I also tried using the actual page (programs.php) and I while I can click preview and see the page, I couldn't get either option to correctly display a change before I saved it.

Below is the entire content for the actual page. Thanks for any help you can offer!

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php


// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/jcss3461/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($jcsprogramsRecords, $jcsprogramsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'jcsprograms',
'allowSearch' => '0',
'limit' => '1',
));
$jcsprogramsRecord = @$jcsprogramsRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$jcsprogramsRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); }

?>

Hi,

It looks like the problem is that you don't have a WHERE clause in your getRecords statement. If you don't need one on your regular page, I would suggest setting up a separate page that is just used for previewing, and set your getRecords () call like this:

// load records
list($jcsprogramsRecords, $jcsprogramsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'jcsprograms',
'allowSearch' => '0',
'limit' => '1',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
));

Hope this helps

Adding 'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0), only works when I use a special preview page. But good enough for me. Thanks for your help!
