Show Live Preview even if whole page is disabled

Question

The whole page is disabled in the backend. Like in this screenshot:

Now I can't see anything in the Live Preview.

My code starts with: {% for entry in craft.entries.section('aboutus') %}

If I set .status(null) I see everything in the Live Preview, but also the entries which are disabled.

So is it possible to show a disabled page in a Live Preview but not the disabled entries of this page?

UPDATE

In the Live Preview I can see all outside of this for loop {% for entry in craft.entries.section('aboutus') %} but nothing inside.

I uploaded my code here.

Answer 1

This should do it:

<ul>
    {% if craft.request.isLivePreview() %}

        {# if it's Live Preview, grab even the disabled entries #}
        {% set entries = craft.entries.section('mySection').status(null).find() %}

    {% else %}

        {# not Live Preview, so just grab enabled entries #}
        {% set entries = craft.entries.section('mySection').find() %}

    {% endif %}

    {% for entry in entries %}
        <li>{{ entry.title }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

Answer 2

You can combine .status( null ) with the isLivePreview property on craft.request. More info can be found in the docs.

Answer 3

Jonathan, you have a lot going on with your code, including nested for loops, which is probably beyond the scope of the Q&A format here.

If it were me, I'd try to simplify what you have until you get the basics working. If Live Preview isn't working, there's probably other things going on with your code.

Make a copy of your code and do a simple for loop just to start for troubleshooting:

<ul>
{% for currentEntry in craft.entries.section('aboutus') %}
    <li>{{currentEntry}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

That will spit out the title of the entry and only display the entries that are enabled. If that works, then you keep building up from there until you find the source of what's going on.
