I am using the Magento ver. 1.4.0.1 Community Edition. The problem I am running into is that Magento only allows me to preview pages that I have already saved. This works fine if I am creating a new page - but what if I am editing a current page? I want to be sure that the changes I make look good on the site before saving them.
Does anyone know of a way to preview a static cms page before saving the changes made? I'm open to using some sort of plugin if anyone knows of one.
Thanks
Currently there isn't one in Magento, you'll just have to save it and view it.
A lot of the work I've done in Magento has been done on a development server, once everything was set it got moved to the production server. I'm not saying you need two servers, but having at least a development instance of Magento will help when editing a live site.
for non-trivial changes, I normally create a new page with a URL that's not linked anywhere and then load that up to preview, before copying the content/settings to the real page.

What is the best way to get auto-reloading to work when developing my website (my website runs on Mojolicious)?
There exists a development server called morbo, and it does update what is served automatically whenever I save changes to a source file, but the website itself does not reload automatically. I must manually refresh the page to see the changes.
What is a sane way to get this behavior? I am okay with using an additional tool if necessary.
My understanding is that Mojolicious::Plugin::AutoReload can do what you want by defining a auto_reload endpoint and having the UI poll your web app to check if the UI should reload.
The module was featured on the Mojolicious blog in 2018.
I have an existing fitness site ( showing exercises on different pieces of equipment) with menus available depending on whether the user is logged in.
Not sure of the best way of doing this but I would like to access the site via a touchscreen kiosk which will show a different welcome page and menus.
I know it can be done as a clone site which would mean copying all the execise data but is there a way for typo3 to recognise the type of device, assign it as a certain user and allow user level control of the content shown?

Device detecting is very complicated and TS conditions that should work were removed from TYPO3 core some time ago.
If it is important (and possible) to detect one kind of device you may create your own TS condition (userfunc).
But maybe another option would solve your problem:
Configure another page type which gets your modified layout for the start page.
Then you only needs to make sure the inital page is called with that specific page type.
An automatic login will be complicated. maybe it would be possible to use a permanent login, where a session cookie without endtime is stored.
If you're using TYPO3 version 8.7, you could use the extension aoe_ipauth (https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/aoe_ipauth/) to automatically log in a user based on IP address. There are several other extensions that do this, but I think most of the others are old and don't work in 8.7. There don't seem to be any that support TYPO3 9.5 yet.
I started looking into OwnCloud app development to add some capabilities I would like to my server. To me it seems like Apps can't modify anything like the Login page or User Management page. Is this the case?
I want to build a user registration app and would love to integrate it into the user management page (if not and it has to exist as its own app page not a big deal). The one big problem I see so far is not being able to add a "Register" link to the login page. I could just go in and add it to the source manually, but I would like to keep the App self contained so others can use it too.
If this is not possible to do in an App I may just need to modify the core application and then see if they will accept my feature addition in a pull request.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. I don't want to waste my time trying to figure out how to do it with an App on the platform if it wont be doable.
After a lot of digging around I did figure out a way to do this.
In the App's app.php file, you can force a script to be loaded if the plugin is enabled:
$api->addScript('script_name'); // without .js
In that script jQuery can be used to add the elements to the page where you need them.
This was a good solution for me since I only needed to add a single button to the login page. I can see this being a bad idea if you want to make vast modifications. At that point you might as well just create a separate page that you have full control over.
I have installed SilverStripe on several servers successfully in the past (but I'm not a SilverStripe expert). This time my SS install fails to work and I'm at a loss how to fix it.
The Problem
SilverStripe 2.4.6 installed correctly on the server (AFAIK).
The front-end works as expected. (Show default theme. Pages all load correctly.)
I am able to log into the CMS admin section succesfully. The CMS loads but when changing site pages in the CMS using the browser pane on the left, the CMS shows the circular loading symbol. The new page load never completes.
Using the console of Firebug in Firefox - When attempting to change pages in the CMS (by clicking on the page browser pane) the CMS tries to load two pages. The second page request 404s.
The first GET request is from the initial page loads.
The following POST+GET requests fire when clicking on the page tree to change pages.
Attempting to Find the Solution
I've tried deleting and re-installing silverstripe twice. (2.4.7 and 2.4.6) Both times the problem recurs.
A strange thing is that this server is already running two other silverstripe sites (both of which I installed without a hitch). All three websites are accessed via different domains. I tried accessing this install via another domain thinking there might be something wrong with how this third domain is configured but that didn't help either.
What should I try now? I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance.

Check your root .htaccess file. Make sure RewriteBase is set to /
Checked. Full .htaccess on PasteBin
Indeed the javascrip URL is strange. Check if there is anything unusual about what's being returned from the previous POST request. Is the site running in dev, test or live mode?
I can't see anything unusual in the POST request.
Clue Found: The site is running in DEV mode. Switching to LIVE mode and the problem disappears. Also the second GET request only shows up in DEV mode.
Example Post request with response.
Example Get request with respones.
This is a work around more than a fix but if you'd rather be coding than bug hunting it might be worth a go! (remember to log out of SS before doing this fix)
In your mysite/_config.php file change
Director::set_environment_type("dev");
to
if(!isset($_GET['isDev']))
Director::set_environment_type("dev");
else
Director::set_environment_type("live");
Then you can develop the website in dev mode normally and to use the admin in live mode and avoid the bug you just go to: http://{your_domain}/admin?isDev=0
N.B. might find a proper answer when pastebin.com isn't overloaded and I can see your responses!
I've been scratchign my head on this one, hopefully someone can provide some feedback.
Umbraco Version: 4.7.2
Problem
A solution I developed for a company is having problem loading the rich text editor. They have a virtual IP solution acting as a proxy for their servers. After debugging on the client we noticed that the editor (tiny mce) was not loading because for some reason it is requesting the script and icons via the IP and not the URL. Obviously the IP is not hardcoded anywhere...
Need Help...
The client's IT department insists the configuration is ok; I think they are right, everything else in Umbraco seems to be working correctly. So I need help...
Is there anyway I can force the editor to be loaded from a specific URL?
I have experimented with changing the JS on umbraco_client, but the changes do not show when I load the editor. they appear to be cached somewhere (processed by the compressor), I've re-started the app and cleared my cache with no luck. How can I make my JS Changes be picked up?
What I've Tried
Setting the document.domain="my-url". No luck.
Setting the document_base_url on tinyMceConfig.config. Of course this is for links within the editor, so.. no luck
All other changes I've tried are on the JS files on /umbraco_client/tinymce3/, but I can't get them to show.
Any pointers?
Thanks,
-Covo
Is the RTE not rendering within umbraco it self or is the content not rendering on the front end?
This is a very good question - have you tried removing the property and adding again?
Other than what you've tried so far I'm out of suggestions other than the above sorry.
