DescriptionBetter Preview changes the url of the preview button in your Joomla! Administrator (top right) to match the item you are viewing. It does a smart search through your menus to also get the right (or best matching) Itemid. That means that your menus and modules will be placed correctly. The large article preview button (only on Joomla 1.5) will work differently. With Better Preview it executes the plugins, so you will see how the content will actually look on your website.

SpecsSpecificationsBetter Preview is a Joomla extension compatible with Joomla 1.5, Joomla 1.7 and Joomla 2.5. The extension consists of:
RequirementsBetter Preview will only work correctly if your setup meets these requirements:
Using PHP 5.2 (or lower)? I can not provide support for setups that do not meet the above requirements. The core Joomla files should of course not be altered in any way. InstallationThe easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager. If you have problems installing Better Preview, please try the manual installation process as described here: Otherwise, please report this on the forum or let me know via the contact form. UpdatingIf you want to update to the latest version, you do not have to uninstall first. The easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager. You can also update simply by installing the package via the Joomla core installation process. DowngradingIf for some reason you need to downgrade, it is best to uninstall the extension first. Also, you will have to uninstall the NoNumber! Framework plugin (system) (and the NoNumber Elements plugin if you have it installed). After that you can simply install the older version zip file. Please note that I cannot not provide support on older versions! Open Source LicenseBetter Preview is an Open Source Joomla extension. It is in compliance with the GNU/GPL license: Joomla is also Open Source. SupportNeed more help?Before requesting help, make sure your installation and setup meet the requirements (see the Specs) and your extensions are up-to-date. If you need more help, please take a look in the NoNumber! Forum. You can also contact me via the contact form or via chat (if I'm online).

However, if you use my extensions on websites that you make money from, I would appreciate it if you purchase a License Code. Note: If you don't want to pay for the License Code and want to continue to use the extension for free, please do. You will just have to ignore the license message in the administrator. Note: If you have donated before and feel you should get some reduction on the price, please contact me about it... we'll sort it out :)
Here you can see the difference between the use of the extensions without and with Commercial License Code.
DownloadDownloadsBetter Preview is compatible with Joomla 1.5, Joomla 1.7 and Joomla 2.5 NOTE: Better Preview needs PHP 5.3+. Please see the specs for more requirements.
Please clear your browsers cache after updating an extension. NOTE: Joomla 1.6 is no longer supported. Joomla 1.6 reached end-of-life in August 2011. If you have a site running on Joomla 1.6 you are urged to upgrade to Joomla! 2.5. Better Preview will probably still work on Joomla 1.6, but any issues specific to Joomla 1.6 will not be fixed. Tip!Are you using multiple NoNumber! extensions? LanguagesThis extension comes with the following languages:
