LivePreview 1.1
Over the past few days, I've teased you about the next version of LivePreview and today I'm extremely proud to release it. This version features several new features and improvements, a brief overview:
- Full Screen LivePreviews
- Changeable LivePreview templates
- Overriding of the
Previewbutton - No more temporary directories! LivePreview automatically uses your blog directory as it's temporary directory. No more cryptic
Died at lib/LivePreview.pm line 145.error messages! - LivePreview automatically clears up after itself. Unlike the previous versions, everytime you request a livepreview, the plugin will automatically delete older temporary files it generated.
- Many of you noticed that entry categories (and with Movable Type 3.31, entry tags) never showed up in the preview. With v1.1, LivePreview automatically saves the entry as a draft, hence both categories and tags now properly show up.
Get it now and do send me your feedback

What defines enterprise as different from commercial?

Users of MT Enterprise. Perhaps I should make it clearer

Oh! I though the "enterprise" was meant the LP license itself. That makes sense.

Hello,
LivePreview 1.1 is a wonderful Plugin, but in fact there is on my site a problem with the german "Umlauts" like ä, ö, ü or with accents like é or à. I've tested it on 2 Entrys and it destroyed all this foreign charakters into something cryptical, and it was hard to see that the plugin SAVED the destroyed version, so I had to edit it new line for line. Any suggestions?
Greetings, Julian

I almost got MTProtect 1.22? to work recently, but I can't get my host to install BCMath and the other PEAR dependencies. What sort of dependencies do you have planned for your future work?

Drifting a bit off topic :) But there are no planned dependencies for v2.0 (or at least none that can't be included with the distribution)

Thanks. That's good to hear. Sorry for drifting off topic there. I'm looking forward to the release and when it's out, if it works with my host, I'll be more than happy to add to your tip jar.

Howdy...
Great plug-in..
My only issue is that during a 'live preview', I have no buttons at the top of my screen. The frame is there, but it's blank, with no 're-edit' buttons or anything. Any ideas?
