Hi

I've managed to successfully migrate my old and very large postnuke site to Drupal thanks to this migration scriptand some clever modules like premium content. Thanks to all who replied to previous forum posts for your help and suggestions. :9 Still working on it.

Now, I have a working drupal site here, however once I turned "preview node" to optional, because previewing comments is a pain (only registered users can comment anyway) - the preview for posts (stories, page, blog all kinds of nodes) vanished. Even changing the settings back to default doesn't bring back the preview. I've been hunting around but I can't find where I managed to turn the "preview" off, because everywhere it says that preview is on. Yet I see no preview at all, I just see the input form and thats it.

Anyone know what might have caused that?

Am I the only one to ever have seen this? It's not the first time I managed to do this, but the last time I was just fooling in a sandbox-testsite so I just started over with a new one. I have no idea what setting caused this to happen. The preview is gone in every single theme, so it's not the themes fault.

Over here a few people have experienced a missing preview for admins only, and other issues like blank nodes created. While I don't have the problem with blank nodes, nor does the posting of any admins node appear as "anonymous" I do have that in common with them that the missing preview only happens to those who are admins. I tested as users of other roles and none of the roles have an issue.

That reminds me that I created a fifth user role a little while back, and disabled it pretty much at once because as the super-admin with access to everything and then some, I suddenly had some funky menus missing and other wonkyness going on. Perhaps it was then that the preview-bug appeared (like I said, they were working at some point). Has anyone experienced anything like it and might know what I can do to remedy this?

If it matters my user roles are anonymous, authenticated, premium content users, and admin users who have admin control to some modules. The fifth user I was creating was going to have admin access to all modules.

Seems that the store module (EC commerce) is the one that messes up my preview. Just FYI.

I found this problem on our site, and with the help of the forums isolated the problem to a bad Ecommerce module. The specific one was ProductAPI, and disabling it brought the preview function back to life. Doing an update to the newest of the EC packages (5.2-v3.3) fixed the bug. Hope this helps you, too.
