Is there Live View

Post by mikemoy »

Just getting started with this. Using V 19.0.6.
I am creating a page for IOT. As i add items I would like to see what it looks like as I design. Right now I am clicking Preview In Browser which opens up a new page every time. I am more interested in something that is live as I make changes. Does this have anything like that?

WebBuilder does not compile your efforts until you preview in browser. Also, you would probably want to have things designed to work on desktop/mobile equally well which requires more effort/study on design concepts of WB.

Sorry that is not possible as it would entail that the software have its own browser to display in real-time as you add content to the page.
Note the latest version of the software is WYSIWYG Web Builder 19.1.0 (last update: February 16, 2024) and not 19.0.6.

Not sure what to say about this. When I click on Check for updates, it says I I'm using the latest version.
When I click on about it says Version 19.0.6

I do, wonder why WB is not telling me that an update is available. In any case thanks for the help.

There is a delay so early users can report possible issues not rolled out immediately.

Live view is impossible to achieve? Is there any way around or 3rd party app just to achieve that?

@essej there is no live view as you drag and drop objects to the workspace. You will need to use "Preview" to see any and all changes also note if you are using php then you are required to publish to your host (php enabled) to see the results There is also no script or app for this.

WWB is not an HTML editor and does not directly modify code.
The HTML and other related files are not generated until you preview or publish the page.
As a result, a true “live view” is not possible, since it would require continuously processing changes in the background.
While this might be feasible for a very basic tool with limited functionality, it is not practical for an advanced application like WWB, which offers thousands of options.

If you are using the likes of forms then these use php. 8.1.x.x For what version your host/server uses then you will need to contact and ask.
