A number of our clients have asked for the ability to preview content as it would appear on the site before it is published.

Currently content is previewed (versionview) using designs and not siteaccesses. This causes issues when designs are chained using AdditionalSiteDesignLists and when the override.ini setting differ between the admin and user sites.

We have asked eZ update the versionview/preview functionality to utilise siteaccess instead of designs.

This functionality will be added into the ezpublish core code and we have asked for a patch for version 3.5 to be prepared (This won't be in 3.5 as there is a current feature freeze).

ez have said "This is functionality we would like to implement for eZ publish, so we can split the development expenses on this."

Our portion will be USD 1500, of which we would utilise our support credits and pay the balance.

If anyone is interested in this and helping to contribute to the cost by utilising their support credits or with cash, please contact me at [email protected]

Thanks
Bruce
