    Hi All

    I´m using Migx to develop newsletters. With this great plugin i´ve created multiple newsletter blocks to generate my final newsletters.

    My question is, how can i do a preview of these blocks in the migx grid? I´m asking this because some templates don´t "share" the same placeholders and then the grid stays blank!!!

    Sorry about my english!!

    Regards,
    Nuno

      Add more grid columns that match all your placeholders. It'll get a bit wide, but do you really need to see the contents in the grid, or do you just want to see that something is there instead of nothing?

      Could make for very tall entries if you've got a lot of content in these placeholders. Is there one placeholder (tv) that is common to all items? Would that be enough to show in the grid?

        you can try to use the renderChunk - renderer
        there are all fields avail as placeholders.
        Or you can place a snippet-call into the renderChunk-chunk and read the $_REQUEST to build the column output.
          -------------------------------

          you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

          Hi Bruno

          Can you show me how to use the renderChunk-chunk? Where should i put this? I´ve search how to do this but didn´t find nothing!!

            Thanks a lot for your help!! My idea is a way to get a chunk render and not add all the used fields on the grid!! wink
