Vorto preview with the new doctype editor in Umbraco 7.4 about umbraco-vorto HOT 12 CLOSED

I have the same problem

from umbraco-vorto.

As there is no official documentation on how property editor developers should handle the preview mode of the new doc type editor, anything we implement would technically be a hack. Given this doesn't break functionality at all, it just doesn't look nice for the developer, my thoughts are to hold of till there is some official guidance on how these should be handled.

Don't know if this is a step too far or not related but the content in an RTE in a Grid in Vorto doesn't survive the first language switch. i.e. fr to de ok, back to fr, RTE broken (html showing).

My thoughts are that previews (if required) it# should simply be done by css targeting, this might even be possible without any core changes now?

As a developer of various property editors, a separate view for the preview seems like a good idea to me.

Alternatively we can do some extra checks in the controller of the individual property editors, but right now that would probably be checking if the property editor is within an element with a certain class (that is, hacky at the moment).

Possible there could be an optional config parameter for a preview view, which gives developers some separation between the primary view and the preview view. If not specified, it would be up to the developer to handle the preview in the primary view (or it's controller).

I understand that there might be more important stuff in the pipeline, but some documentation on this would be awesome.

There is no "documentation" because this isn't something that was really considered.

A feature request needs to be created (if one doesn't exist already) and we can discuss ways to implement it..... But I don't see what a separate view achieves over just targeting css classes. You can toggle display on/off with this approach which achieves the same thing (and it might actually work as it is today)

Ok cool, well we'll support both ways, I think for many devs it will be just easier to style but if devs need advanced stuff we can register a preview view

For sure, my main thing is just to have an official method of doing either, rather than devs just finding ways and means like we usually do :)

I've raised the feature request here http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-8244 so I'll close this issue for now and continue the discussion there as I don't feel any point implemented an interim hack
