NSM Live Look
=======================================
Overview
--------
NSM Live Look is a [Multi-Site Manager][ee_msm] compatible[ ExpressionEngine extension][ee_cp_extensions_manager] that allows you to view the latest published revision of an entry in the ExpressionEngine [control panel][ee_cp]. When enabled, a Live Look tab is added to the CP publish form which displays the entry in a rendered template context.
Getting started
-------------
### Requirements
NSM Live Look requires ExpressioEngine 2.0PB1.
Technical requirements include:
* PHP5
* A modern browser: [Firefox][firefox], [Safari][safari], [Google Chrome][chrome] or IE8+
### Installation
1. [Download][download] the latest version of NSM Live Look
2. Extract the .zip file to your desktop
3. Rename the extracted folder to `nsm_live_look` and copy it to your `system/expressionengine/third_party/` directory
4. Move (or symlink) `system/expressionengine/third_party/nsm_live_look/themes/nsm_live_look` to the `themes` directory
### Activation
1. Open the [Extensions Mananger][ee2_extension_manager]
2. Enable the NSM Live Look extension
3. Configure the extension settings
### Configuration
NSM Live Look has the following extension settings which need to be entered separately for each Multi-Site Manager site.
Note: All configuration options are site specific. When a new site is created be sure to save the extension settings for the new site to avoid errors.
#### Channel customisation
For each channel, you can set a preview URL which will be used by NSM Live Look to create the preview. Here's an example preview URL:
/blog/post/{entry_id}/{url_title}/
The preview url setting will have the following variables replaced with entry specific attributes allowing you to create highly customisable urls:
* `{url_title}`
* `{entry_id}`
* `{channel_id}`
* `{title}`
* `{author_id}`
* `{status}`
* `{entry_date_day}`
* `{entry_date_month}`
* `{entry_date_year}`
* `{dst_enabled}`
* `{comment_total}`
* `{username}`
* `{email}`
* `{screen_name}`
User guide
---------
When you have configured NSM Live Look for a channel, go to the publish page for that channel and select the NSM Live Look tab. You will be shown a live preview of the entry on your site.
