After T4 update, preview has to be reset in template style page

patvandenbosche

I upgraded my development site for a Joomla 4 installation, to the latest T4 plugin. And now there is no preview in the site template styles screen. If I go to the Layout Settings and turn on the Layout Position Preview button, it resets the page and I can continue working, but it must be done every single time I go into the template styles. This is most annoying. I've checked it on several Joomlart Joomla 4.x sites, and they are all doing the same thing after updating to the latest T4 plugin.

Here are several screenshots. The first is what I see when I open the template style for the homepage:

And this one is after turning on the preview module positions button:

Hi Pat,

You can click the RELOAD PREVIEW link on top bar.

I will share with my developer to check further on this also.

The preview is NOT reloaded when I click on Reload Preview. The only way I've discovered how to do this is to click on the Layout Position Preview. And you have to do that every time you come back into the template settings.

Hi patvandenbosche
Thank you for providing the account. I have checked the site and yes, it got issue with the first open, it works fine after reloading. Our Dev team is working on it and it will be fixed in the next version.

Regards.

Yes, it works fine so long as you don't close the template settings to check on anything else. When you come back you have to reset it through the button again. I look forward to this being fixed. It is so very annoying.
