Preview in same window

Hi Chris,

You can do this, but the problem is that if you have just saved a record, then preview it, when you clicked the back button most browses would display a warning asking you if wanted to resubmit the form. Another issue is that to make the change you have to alter core CMS Builder files, so if you upgrade the CMS at a later date, these changes will be lost. 

To preview a record in the same window, you need to open cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/edit_functions.js and around like 66 you should see this:

  var form = document.createElement('form');
  form.setAttribute('method', 'POST');
  //form.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
  form.setAttribute('action', $('#previewUrl').val()); // note that url includes special number 9999999999 getRecords() uses to know this is a preview request
  for (i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {

You just need to comment out or remove the line highlighted in green. This only works when you're actually editing/creating a record. Let me know if also want this feature on a list page.

Cheers

Greg
