TYPO3 Core

The frontend preview is only seen for a default language hidden page (sys_language_uid=0) but not for a localized hidden page (sys_language_uid > 0).

I tried this test with Version 9.5.1-dev

Prerequisites¶

- TYPO3 with a default language (Italian) and at least another language (english)
- Proper "Site Configuration > Languages" already configured for both default and english language (Visible in frontend, entry point, etc)

Test procedure¶

- create a new page in default language (e.g. "esempio")
- create a translation of the page in english (e.g. "example)

Both pages are available on frontend

https://yoursite.com/esempio/

https://yoursite.com/en/example/

- hide the translated page and click on the "preview" icon in Module page > languages visualization

RESULT: the page is not available in frontend (404 error)

NOTE if you also hide the page in default language and try to see it, you will see it with the "PREVIEW" badge on the corner

Attention¶

Both pages are visible using the VIEW module; you can switch the language variants with the dropdown

So, if you want to preview a hidden page in an alternative language, you can use the "View" module

[UPDATE]

strange...now I am not able to make it work on the view module...and with a fresh 9.5.0 installation I got the 404 error also there... I for sure did something wrong before

Is there a chance to have this fix backported to 8.7.x branch?

Am I right that this isn't fixed in TYPO3 8 LTS?

Your are right. Quite ridiculous. There is already a patch for 8 LTS above.
