IMPLEMENTING CLIENT PREVIEW VIEWERS (LEGACY) - May 7th, 2011


As of Version 2.07, a "preview" function is built in to the program that allows an author to see how their live page
will look before it goed "live".

For those of you who for some reason are using an earlier version of CMS Builder, Dave Edis from Interactive Tools had
an interesting and simple workaround.

He suggested adding a "hidden" check box to the editor, and hide the record from the "real" page until you're satisfied
with the contents.

To see a "preview" of the contents, make a copy of your detail viewer and use this option in the record call in the head
section which will ignore the "hidden" flag and show records even if they are hidden:



'ignoreHidden' => true, // don't hide records with hidden flag set


or


'where' => " hidden = '1' ",
