    This there a way to have a client preview a page in the template in all of it’s CSS glory BEFORE they PUBLISH it in EE2?

    I get this request all of the time.

    I know this has come up before, but I didn’t see a resolution for EE2.

    Hi gavincooper,

    To my knowledge there are no Workflow add-ons currently on the market.

    But what you can do is publish to a status that does not get published on the main site, say ‘draft’. Create a template that has all of the styles of the main site but tell it to display only the ‘draft’ statuses. This allows you to check the styles before pushing to the site.

    Not sure if it does exactly what you’re looking for here but there is NSM Live Look which does a lot of what you’re looking for.

    Best wishes,

    Mark

    Well shoot… when did that get launched? Getting hard to keep up with over 1000 add-ons…

    Gavin, does that help?

    A while back. My photographic memory for add-ons helps a lot though where these things are concerned 😉
