LG Live Look - Entry Previews in CP Publish/Edit Tab - New Extension!

For everyone reporting version 1.0.1+ issues with the enlarge /shrink buttons did you read the upgrade information about adding the jQuery lib back into your cp?

Yeah, I enabled the jQuery for CP extension and still no luck. :(

I just pushed a bunch of LG Live Look ie7 fixes to GitHub: http://github.com/newism/lg.live_look.ee_addon/tree/master

Hopefully these should cover everyone!

Thanks for the update. Overall, the update seems to work just fine in IE with no Javascript errors.

There is an option in the settings to disable the standard EE Preview button. What is supposed to happen when set to “yes”?

In my case, the Preview button is visible and pressing the button in IE and FF simply refreshes the page.

IE page refresh, field changes without saving are lost. FF page refresh, field changes without saving seem to stay intact on the screen.

Discovered another issue with IE 6/7/8.

Enlarging the preview doesn’t play well with the Playa extension. Initially Playa’s two window panes are initially shown side-by-side. When clicking Enlarge or Shrink Live Look, Playa’s right pane does move up/down accordingly. However, the left pane (and its buttons) does not move.

This is not an issue in FF.

Update:

Playa seems to behave if you first set the Playa-designated field “Show this field by default?” to “No” in Custom Weblog Fields (Admin › Weblog Administration › Field Groups › Custom Fields).

Yeah that’s correct. Hiding the preview only hides the unstyled preview fieldset added by EE.

Hmmm, that’s an interesting one. LG Live Look doesn’t modify the preview button / action so I guess that this is an issue with a 3rd party custom field that doesn’t support previews.

Sounds like an issue with Playas css and IE’s crap rendering. I know brandon doesn’t support IE with his extensions and I’m pretty close to being the same. Probably best to send him an email and see if he will modify it for you.

When setting “Display link in the Edit Page” to “no” for all the weblogs, the Live Look column still appears with blank cells.

Any way to omit the column all together?

Hi,

Just purchased Publish Plus and using it in conjunction with Live Look. Publish Plus seems to be working great, but Live Look is not functioning in the publish tab. I see the tab, but the live look is blank. My live look template is good, using status = “not close”, and I can see the rendered temple just fine in a browser.

The “Live Look” button on the right side of the edit tab is also working fine.

Upon inspection the iframe on the publish page is just blank:

<iframe id="llp_frame" src="" style="background:#fff; border:none; padding:0; margin:0; width:100%;"></iframe>

Thoughts?

(BTW, your stuff is FANTASTIC. I’m thrilled to offer this workflow to my client.)

We’re having the same issue as Mr. Payton. Everything is cool except the preview window is empty. Just upgraded my copy to 1.1.0 (though it claims to be 1.0.4). It was working fine this morning.

Try downloading the latest Live Look from GitHub: http://github.com/newism/lg.live_look.ee_addon/tree/master and let me know how you go.

Nope. Still not working.

I’m having the same issue with Live Look 1.0.4 in EE 1.6.7. I can view Live Look in the main Weblog Entries edit view but when editing an actual post the iframe is blank. I have the following extensions:

• Clone Entries (v. 1.1)
• Edit Menu (v.1.0.2)
• Edit Tab AJAX (v.1.2.2)
• File, by Mark Huot (v.3.1.1)
• Multi Drop-down List (v.1.1.1)
• Publish Page Improvements (v.2.0.0)
• LG Better Meta (v.1.7.1)
• DC Required Category (v.1.0.5)
• LG Addon Updater (v.1.0.2)
• NSM Publish Plus (v.1.1.0)
• LG Live Look (v.1.0.4)
• LG Add Sitename (v.1.2.0)

Does anyone know if there’s a conflict with one of these extensions? I’m puzzled on why this isn’t working.

Hi, I am having the same issue as above: the live view links from the edit table works, but not the iframe in the publish form tab… Please let us know if there’s any news on this!
