How to limit which sitedesigns to choose from on preview?

Thursday 30 June 2005 6:45:17 am

Hi folks,

The new preview-function in the 3.6 admin interface is great. However - we are running a multisite environment. Thus, we define in settings/override/site.ini.append.php all the available siteaccesses on our server.

Now, when one of our customers select to preview a page from the admin-interface, he has the possibility to select ALL sitedesigns installed in our server! This is not good. We need to set the customers sitedesign as default, and hide all other sitedesigns.

We thought this would be done in the siteaccess/XYZ/content.ini.append.php, block [VersionView] with AvailableSiteDesignList[] and DefaultPreviewDesign.
But no such luck.....

Has anyone a better idea on how to limit the number of available sitedesigns on preview in a multisite-environment?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Nicklas

I have ez 3.6.0, but using the previewselection update in backend (shows translations and all siteaccess with radiobuttons) has no effect on the preview. It shows always the preview with backenddesign in the backend.

my settings/override/content.ini.append.php:

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?

[VersionView]
AvailableSiteDesignList[]
AvailableSiteDesignList[]=corporate
AvailableSiteDesignList[]=admin

# not used in 3.6? (see documentation)
#DefaultPreviewDesign=corporate
#AllowChangeButtons=enabled
#AllowVersionsButton=enabled

*/ ?>

and settings/override/site.ini.append.php:

...
[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=cn
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=de
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=es
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=fr
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=il
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=jp
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=ru
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=administration
...

Any ideas what could be wrong?
