CMSMS Core Bug #1613 Preview function doesn't display additional content blocks

[Jonny]

Is there a chance this longstanding bug will be fixed before v2.0?

It's currently unassigned and as yet has had no developer followup.

Any news regarding this? I just installed 1.2.3 and this is still broken.

I'm doing a site with two text columns (blocks) and can't really give editors a chance to mess around without a functioning preview. Since CMSMS doesn't have a "revert to previous page version" feature, there's really no way to let novice users use the system.

Any tips how to fix the preview. Even complicated hacks are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It's fixed in the 2.0 code.  Unfortunately, it took me rewriting preview entirely to make this work, so porting this back to the 1.2.x series is going to be pretty difficult to pull off.

Thanks for your quick reply Ted.

I quess I'll have to learn to live with this (or the users have to learn). I quess I'll need a few extra cron backups to make sure that there's always something to revert to if this doesn't work.

We could really use a functioning module that would keep let's say the last 5 edits backed up so that the user could easily revert back if he did something weird.

Anyway, looking forward to 2.0 (not just because of this issue).

Have you looked at archiver module?...

Hello,

Well done ! Thank you for this cool feature.
I suggest you append (copy-paste) these two sentences to the comments in the bug report in the forge. This way you won't have to take time to answer this question again. And people will see bug reports are seen, read and "responded".

I believe I tried it but it was broken? I'll give it a go and see if it works on 1.2.3. Thanks for the tip.
