Does CMSB have a preview feature that enables someone to see what new/edited content looks like before it goes live to the public?
Hi CommonSenseDesign,
This can be set up, but there are a couple of things to consider when using it:
- It only works for detail pages, not list pages.
- It will only work for pages where there is one getRecords function, if you have more than one you'll need to have a preview page for each section.
Here are the steps to create a preview page:
- Go to the code generator, create a detail page that uses Multi record sections: Get record # from end of url. eg: viewer.php?record_title-3 for which record.
- Put the generated code into a PHP file, in my testing I used a file called test.php.
- Edit the section and under the viewer URL's tab, enter the path to your preview page (See attached screenshot).
Now when you edit a record you'll have the option to preview it.
Thanks,

Hi CommonSenseDesign,

Yes, it does. By default, you should see a "Preview" button on the edit page that you can click to see a preview of the unsaved content.
Let me know if you have any other questions about how that works.
