Well, I just notice now this integration, but I regret that the test subform is BELOW the Publish/View modifications/Preview buttons. It should be ABOVE them (and may be even before the Edit comment field, which is for the Publish button) to make sure that people see it.
And I don't know how to prefill the name of the test page directly from the edit link. As well, this test subform field remains empty : it should be prefilled by default with the name of the edited page (to simplify the action of appending the name of a "/test" subpage) : if I manually enter "x" in this empty field and press the "Preview test page" button, that "x" does not appear as a GET parameter in the URL displayed in the navigator address bar: this "x" should appear here, along with the name of the edit link parameter that allows prefilling the preview test page. 2012/11/30 Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> > Will it be available immediately when editing ANY template, just by giving > the name of a page using the template, and without having to go to a > special page ? > > The idea would be that we could have just before the edit comment field a > field that contains the name of a page to see, and that the "Preview" > button will preview that page instead of just the template page itself. > > Then an edit link somewhere on a page could prefill that field with a test > page name (with an edit parameter).
