Node Preview (Digg-Like)

This is exactly what I need for a site I'm working on now, I'd really like to get this functionality.

Is there anything holding back this feature, or is it a pretty trivial adaption of the comment preview feature if one of us beggars would just do it?

There is no way this module can preview a whole node. i think a more likely outcome is that we offer Preview on textareas that have an input format (i.e. CCK textarea widget).

This is fixed(partial support, and no CCK) for Drupal 6 release. :-)

Doesn't work for me on any node type not even story or article. Where could I look more carefully to get this working or could this be a bug?

Changed version since my site runs on D6 but didn't change status since I'm not really sure if it's me or the module.

Cheers.

I should have been more patient, sorry. I must be spoilt by the way preview is automatically updated for comments. Will there be automatic updates for nodes also, or is that not possible?

Cheers.

By automatic updates, do you mean update the preview as we type? It's easily possible, however, I chose to let the user hit "Preview" or "Update Preview" buttons in node's case, since things can be really big and users usually spend lot of time writing threads and they might not really want to preview at every 2 second pause that they make.

Great, thanks for that response, Gurpartap!

Indead I ment "as we type" but I see what you're saying. If it's not too much to ask, though, can it be made an option than? Maybe even a value field for an update interval which can be left empty to disable "automatic" update? I'm not talking about the threshold delay but rather an additional value the script waits until the theshold is deployed (if empty theshold would be disabled, too). E.g. theshold is 1sec and update interval could be 5 seconds. Than you type at least 5 seconds without anything happends at all.....

Wait, I'm talking myself nuts here, aren't I! *LOL* I guess the easiest would be to just have ONE value that could be empty and have one for nodes, too. Theshold is, in a way, an update intervall, isn't it. One could set it to 60.000ms for nodes to wait 1 min before the script does anything (obvious) again? If the value is left empty it would sort of fall back to update button. Does that make sense?

Btw. I just love this module, thanks heaps!
