Preview Share plugin for Movable Type

Configuration
Configuration Directives
PreviewShareDirectory
Defaults to
StaticFilePath/support/previewsPreviewShareUrl
Defaults to
StaticWebPath/support/previews/PreviewShareLogPreviews
Whether or not to log shared previews to the activity log.
Defaults to 1 (on).
PreviewShareSkipPublish
Whether or not to skip the publishing step of entry saving when the shared preview entry is set to published. In other words, whether or not to follow the normal flow of publishing for entries or to force the post-preview share redirect to go directly to the entry edit page.
Defaults to 1 (on).
Blog-Level Settings
Visit a blog and choose Tools > Plugins to find Preview Share, then click Settings. Select which Index Templates should be included in the previews to be shared.
Use
Adds a “Share Preview” button to the live entry preview header. This action will save the entry being previewed. (N.B. that means that if the entry being previewed had been changed to published but not saved, it *will* be published if the preview is shared and the PreviewShareSkipPublish setting is turned off)
The shared preview will also include any index templates set to be rebuild on entry publish (i.e., static).
Requirements
- Sendmail or SMTP Mail must already be configured with Movable Type.
