[TYPO3-ttnews] preview article doesn't work in workspace

[stefano cecere]

Hi Jochen

thanks four your comments...i agree the topic should be developed at core level, improving the actual "save and view" button (and i would add it to the list module also)
the displayVersionPreview is totally unusable, since the "versions" module is quite outdated by workspaces (it's a little mess also there)
and it would be very complicated for a simple editor who writes a dummy news and want to see it in fe before publishing.

i guess we should talk these topics in the dev list...
