Things I Amplify from the web

LG Live Look v1.1.0 View entries in template context from the ExpressionEngine control panel publish tab and edit entry table.

Need help setting up ExpressionEngine templates with LG Live Look?

I have written a comprehensive tutorial on setting up ExpressionEngine templates and LG Live Look over on the Newism blog.

1. Overview Top

LG Live Look is a Multi-Site Manager compatible ExpressionEngine extension that allows you to view the latest published revision of an entry in the ExpressionEngine control panel.

But that’s not all… When installed along side NSM Publish Plus, LG Live Look adds the ability to preview unpublished entries, drafts and revisions in template context.

When activated a Live Look tab is added to the Publish Form which displays the entry in a rendered template and a Live Look links are added to the Edit Page.

EE Extension - Editor

Editor 1.0.2

What is Editor?

I’ve never been a big fan of ExpressionEngine’s Edit index. (Or any other CMS’s version of the page, for that matter.) The workflow just seems strange to me. You generally start off at your website, looking at the entry you decide to edit, and then you have to hunt for that same entry within the CMS before you can touch it.

Editor adds little Edit buttons next to each of your entries, right on your website. Click on one of them, and that entry’s Edit page will open in a new window.

Of course, you have to be logged in for them to appear; they won’t show up for your normal visitors.

EE WYSIWYG Text Editor - Wygwam

Amplifyd from brandon-kelly.com

Wygwam 1.0.1

Wygwam

That’s right—ExpressionEngine is finally getting a little dignity in the content editing department. Gone are the days of confusing configuration scripts, Word ’97-inspired UI, and markup that rivals the semantics of tables. Welcome to Wygwam.

The premier WYSIWYG editor for ExpressionEngine.

A strong foundation in CKEditor 3

Wygwam fields are powered by the brand-new CKEditor 3, a major overhaul of the best WYSIWYG in town. It’s fast, accessible, and mighty powerful. It even features a “Paste from Word” dialog that’ll pry all inline styles from your clients’ copy! Read more about what makes CKEditor so great at its Features page.

Easy to customize

Two common configurations already come built-in, so you can hit the ground running. But should you wish to customize them, or create a new one from scratch, you’ll find that using the configuration tool is easy and fun.
