Thomas Brandl	Tuesday 05 August 2003 9:09:46 am If have an article with a object relation to an image. I have overridden the standard ezembed.tpl in order to display the thumbnail directly in the article. In preview mode however, override.ini is omited. When copying my site-designs override.ini into my settings/siteaccess/admin folder (corporate_site_admin, I'm using the corporate_site template to build up my site), preview is displayed correctly. Shouldn't preview look for the site-designs override.ini in the first place? Applies to 3.2-1 beta. Thanks! Tom
Paul Forsyth	Monday 06 October 2003 7:32:31 am I just found this out today too. I need to add in overrides from my user siteaccess to the admin siteaccess. Obviously this causes scalability problems (several siteacccess overrides). Is this a bug or a feature? I also found two bugs relating to previews: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/previewing_an_object_with_a_matchparent_override http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/preview_doesnt_respect_defaultpreviewdesign_setting There is an easy fix for the default preview bug but im not sure about the other. Anyone else use preview, 3.2, and have problems? Paul

I just found this out today too.

I need to add in overrides from my user siteaccess to the admin siteaccess. Obviously this causes scalability problems (several siteacccess overrides).

Is this a bug or a feature?

I also found two bugs relating to previews:

http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/preview_doesnt_respect_defaultpreviewdesign_setting

There is an easy fix for the default preview bug but im not sure about the other.

Anyone else use preview, 3.2, and have problems?
