TYPO3 Core

The issue is that the preview link points to the new version but TYPO3 is not aware that we are doing a versioning preview (it seems like it is aware of versioning preview only when the BE user is in a workspace). We could add such awareness, but I wonder if it's worth it. It would seem better to me to disable that feature entirely, so that people rely only on workspaces. AFAIK this is planned for 4.5, right?

Hi again,

I managed to improve the situation with a modified version of the patch I submitted for solving 0016794. By not testing if we are in a workspace, I can get the preview link to use the proper page id and avoid the broken rootline error. However the problem is then that the preview of the new version is wrong because the overlay is not triggered (because TYPO3 does not know that we are in a workspace).

Again I think it's planned to remove that feature for 4.5 to use only workspaces. Tolleiv can you confirm (I can see you in the monitoring users lists ;-)?

well it's not planned to remove "version"ing features in 4.5 - but we tend to hide the versioning-features if "workspaces" is installed. therefore the resolution of this bug would still be needed in 4.5

Tolleiv, thanks for your feedback.

I took a second look at this issue and I think it's really difficult to solve. As far as I can tell, this bug must exist ever since workspaces were introduced. At that point, the normal preview mechanism was probably removed. The problem is that all preview functions are keyed to being in a workspace, so it's currently impossible to trigger a preview of a version from the LIVE workspace.
