Introduction

Article Preview

Better Preview - preview as it should be.

Article Preview

Better Preview provides you a preview button for the article you are working on. See what the article will look like before saving or publishing it!

Advanced View Site

Better Preview also changes the way the 'View site' link in your administrator works. It will make that link go to the frontend equivalent of that page. It will also display links to any parent pages (like parent category pages when editing an article).

Brilliant extension



Posted on 17 July 2019
Functionality
This gives an exact preview of what the article will look like on the front-end. This should be in Joomla core.
Ease of use
Nothing to set, just install and it works out of the box. No fooling with css paths like with JCE. Indispensable.
Documentation
I used this to: Editing all my sites and will now be installing on all client sites.

Terrific Product only Topped by their Amazing Service



Posted on 31 May 2016
Functionality
Like all of Regular Labs Extensions it works just the way you want it to, and does more than you expect.
Ease of use
I honestly don't think he could make it any easier to install, update, and use.
Support
One of the great joys of trying new things from Regular Labs is that it's another chance to experience Peter's remarkable customer support.
Documentation
Everything is clear, to the point and written in a way that you don't have to be a "high end techy" to understand.
I used this to: Previewing all parts of our websites.

Great plugin!

Addresses Biggest Problem with Joomla



Posted on 19 February 2015
Functionality
Does what it says: preview your article as it will appear on your website (replaces the meaningless/useless preview in core Joomla).
Ease of use
Click install, then start using. Couldn't be easier.
Support
I used this to: Previewing articles as they will appear on my sites.
Owner's reply: Could you update your review? You scored the Support section a 0 out of 100 instead of not selecting it.

NoNumber Always Delivers!



Posted on 12 May 2014
This is one of those plugins that I ask, why isn't it a default Joomla feature like it is in WordPress? And then I asked, why didn't I start using this plugin years ago?? So much wasted time! Ha.



Needless to say, this plugin works excellent just like all of NoNumber's extensions. Great previews. Really helps page development, especially for my clients who are less Joomla-savvy than others.



A must-have for all Joomla sites for sure!

super service



Posted on 02 April 2014
The extension is usefull and in case of some (very rare) issues, help is there and things are fixed right away! Very recommandable!

Great Extension, Great Support



Posted on 23 January 2014
This plugin has solved a long standing shortcoming of core Joomla for me. No longer will I have to sift through site links to view the page I am working on, now I have a direct link to the exact page from the article manager! Even though I had some minor issues they were resolved fast and professionally. I would highly recommend this plugin for everyone!

Best preview extension available



Posted on 21 January 2014
With the exception of being able to preview some videos (YouTube, etc.) that forbid it, this extension is EXACTLY what I needed. It shows what your article will look like when published on the site.



Peter's support is also Top-Notch. He responded directly to emails and even helped me figure out an issue I was having.



Simple but so valuable



Posted on 14 January 2014
For a CMS that relies so heavily on the concept of articles, it's amazing that Joomla forces you to save the article before you can see your edits on your site. Why that simple functionality is not in Joomla is a real flaw.



I just started using Real Preview (free version) and it does what it says, cleanly and without problems. My first reaction when using it to preview an article was, "Thank goodness!"

One of the key reasons we keep our subscription renewed!



Posted on 23 April 2013
The Better Preview from NoNumber is the second reason we keep our subscription up at his site for his add ons! This is the most used feature of any site we build for clients. Peters support is second to none as well!
