Edit a CSS file and preview the index.php file

Post by mpschulze »

Hi there!

I evalute Rapid PHP and tried the following:

Edit a CSS file and preview the index.php file for my local wordpress installation. They are in different folders.

The preview of the index.php works, but when I change to the style.css. I cannot previes this and so I must go back everytime to the index.php.

Is there a better way to do this?

Greetings,
Michael

This shall be possible in version 2007 which is due to next spring. Currently there is no easy way for this task.

mpschulze, I edit wordpress themes on my local machine all the time with xammp. Using the internal preview can be problematic with dynamic sites like wordpress. Just save your css file and hit alt+tab to switch to your web browser. then hit f5 or CTRL+R to refresh the page. alt+tab back to rapid php and continue editing or undo your last changes... once you get used to the keys, it takes less than a second.

ctrl+s - save the css file in rapidphp
alt+tab - to firefox/IE
ctrl+r - to refresh the browser

In version 2007 we will try to allow to select any URL as the internal preview path for a CSS file.
