Live view adds one or more iframes to the view entry screen so you can easily display templates that use the submitted channel data on different screen sizes. Optionally you can include a qr-code to quickly test on mobile devices.

Live view allows you to preview entries from the EE control panel immediately after publishing. You can set up multiple url’s per channel while also configuring the preview size. (for responsive designs) This way you can quickly review content across multiple pages in different resolutions. Optionally you can include a qr-code to quickly test on mobile devices.

To set up the url to the template(s) viewed in the iframe(s) you can use standard ExpressionEngine tags like {site_url}, {entry_id}, {url_title}, etc.. This way you can generate a url exactly the way you need it, as opposed to other modules like live look.

When you use Boldminded’s Publisher for a multi-lingual site, you can use {site_language} as a language url parameter to show the entry in the language you submitted in.

Installation instructions:

  • Unzip the zip file you have downloaded
  • Copy the but_live_view folder into your system/expressionengine/third_party/ folder
  • In the Control Panel, go to Addons > Modules and click the “install” link next to “Live View”
  • Install both the Accessory and the Module.

Hooks Used

If the add-on is an extension, and ties into ExpressionEngine's core files, it will use ExpressionEngine hooks. We are listing any hooks the add-on uses for developers to have an easier time locating other add-ons that they can reference for their own work.

Previous installation errors have been fixed. This is a great, quick way to preview your entry without having to view the entry on your target device. Really helpful.
