The problem is related to CSS issues; when not using iframes the CSS of your frontend cannot be loaded and thus may not affect the preview.
I think we had to introduce a X pixel transparent floating image on the left side for the entry to fix some commin height problems; the iframe adjusts its height according to the entry, but on some themes this did not work.
Sadly this issue is a bit hard to debug, put I'll try to put it on my todo list.
The missing author name must be because a global array in the preview is missing a proper array index.
If you care to get into the code (which I would greatly appreciate) here's a list of files/functions you should investigate:
include/functions_config.inc.php:
- function serendipity_is_iframe()
- function serendipity_iframe()
- function serendipity_iframe_create()
include/functions_entries.inc.php:
- function serendipity_print_entries()
(there watch out for the use of the $preview variable and then $entry associative array; also look at templates/default/entries.tpl where the author key is emitted:
Code: Select all
{$CONST.POSTED_BY} <a href="{$entry.link_author}">{$entry.author}</a>
HTH and thanks for your feedback,
Garvin
