Publish Tweeks alters the publish/edit page to streamline it for your users. It removes the “Quick Save” and “Preview” buttons when publishing. It also cancels the redirect to the preview after saving and keeps the user on the edit screen. No more lame preview!

I can see this coming in very handy for some clients who might be confused about the “Preview” and “Quick Save” buttons.

FYI, after installing this, I got an “Undefined index” error on line 123 when I went to the “Publish” screen. Here’s the line in question:

$sdata = $SESS->userdata[‘data’];

Try grabbing a new copy. Sorry about that!

Looks like that fixed it, thanks.

I have one other minor thing: is there any way to make the “Entry updated” text a little bigger or more noticeable, like the message you get when you update a weblog? It’s easy to overlook, IMHO.

That’s controlled through the CP theme in your install. I believe it’s the “success” class. We use one that’s a bright yellow background container and larger text, but the class is used in more places than that single message area as well.

I just downloaded a new copy and got this error message when visiting the publish page:

Notice: Undefined index: publish_tweeks_submit_msg in ../ext.publish_tweeks.php on line 124

Also, it would be nice to have the option of removing or keeping some of the buttons like with the Publish Page Improvements extension (I’d ideally only use one or the other but your extension keeps you on the edit page which the other one doesn’t do).

I get this too.

Fred from nGen has just helped me out with this one so there might be an updated extension to download from their site.

“No more lame preview!” - I love it! EE preview is most strange thing ever. Thank you!

Updated extension with bug fixes:

Thank you very much. Works now.

For localization into german I changed the value “Submit” into “Senden” in line 108 of the .ext file. “Update” is ok.

This is a very nice extension, thank you!

The thing is if I have it turned on my SAEF when submitted comes back to the form instead of redirect with this query string stuff after the domain

It does go into the database though, so a bit odd.  I turn the extension off and the SAEF works fine.  Any ideas?

@dvancouver we’re looking into it. I’ll post a new version if we can get to the bottom of it.

New version posted. Now SAEF friendly: http://www.ngenworks.com/software/ee/publish-tweeks

Thanks for the patch, the form redirects correctly now:).  Now with the extension turned on a blank page comes up when trying to edit or create a weblog entry.  Turned off everything is fine. 

Looking forward to using this extension because I really have never liked the whole quick or preview thing.

@dvancouver check your PMs

Hey Travis -

I’m getting a load of errors on the publish form after installing this.  I’m confused, the changelog says you’ve recently changed one of the hooks to use ‘publish_form_end’.  This hook has one parameter $weblog_id but you’re sending it two, $entry_id and $data.

My errors are being thrown because these aren’t being found.  Am I missing something?

Update posted to solve this hook error.

What is the difference between this extension and Publish Improvements (http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/37840/)?  I haven’t tested the latter on a recent build of EE.

Can we remove the Upload File link/button thing with this extension?
