View product in frontend from Magento admin

When you are editing some product in Magento admin and want to check it out in frontend of your Magento project, how do you find this particular product? Do you search for it, navigate to it using product url key or just browse to it? Well, however you do it, I’m going to give you the easiest way to get to your desired product in the frontend – view product link.
Here’s an extremely lightweight Magento extension which will provide you with a simple view product link next to a product name, in Magento admin. It will point to a product view page in the frontend of your Magento project. Simple and easy.

or for donwload
Tadic_AVP
All you have to do is copy the content of Tadic_AVP extension (app folder) to a root folder of your Magento project – and that’s it. I hope this simple extension will prove to be useful to you.
Thanks to Branko Ajzele for an idea.
Cheers

If I want to check the frontend page of product that customers have ordered, will I be able to add view product link in sales order grid using your suggested extension?
this one has the feature you asked https://marketplace.magento.com/bsscommerce-adminpreview.html
any one tell me how to work with rest api magneto 2.x using java.how to get the products
Thank you for your sharing!
I also have to update the code to work with my Magento 1.9.2.4, with store params in url. Below, my working code with the store code ‘fr’. I presume you will have to change it regarding your store code configuration 🙂
Thank you for the plugin
Plugin is still working on Magento 1.9 community. (with raul’s comment modifications)
To make it works on my project, I had to modify the code. it could be interesting for others so let’s share it : I have a multi website with no “default” store, i need to rewrite ‘$url’ to make the redirection Ok, according to the actual admin store view.
If you are editing the children of a configurable product, my code will display the configurable parent instead. (cause my children products are “not visible”).
And, I skipped preview link, because it wasn’t working.
Anything like this but in reverse.
Browsing products on frontend and see you need to fix something, hit a link that brings you to the product in the backend?

working on Magento 1.7.0.2
thanks bru 🙂
(pssttt it’s free :p)
We have coded an own Product Preview extension for Magento. Futhermore you can preview CMS Pages too. You don’t have to activate the products and cms pages, so your customers and google can’t see them. For all Seos, you see the real product url in frontend, like google and your customers did.
Try it.
Can we put custom URL to see product preview in frontend from admin section ?
Which can be accessible for admin user only.
Thanks much! Raul’s fork works great, based off your work!
Yes i got solution .thax
i have created some simple products in the admin panel of my magento site..but i don’t know the exact procedure of displaying them in the frontend..
..can anyone help me out please..?
Works great.
I owe you 10 minutes of every day I work !
I am using this on our store right now. I used Raul’s suggestion and it is working just great using the URL Path. Thanks for the great extension!
I am pretty sure there should be a better way to do this, meanwhile…
I’ve fixed it changing…
with…
Regards
thanks it works
Working with different stores & language codes (such as /en or /es) added to URLs seems to break this great extension…
getUrlInStore() gets Admin url, instead of the appropiate Front url… any ideas to fix this?
Works great. Only thing I had to change for use in Magento 1.3.4.2 was:
$url = $this->getProduct()->getUrlInStore();
$url = $this->getProduct()->getProductUrl();
Simply the best. Can you extend this extension so that there is preview for following pages too:
– Categories
– CMS Pages
– Homepage (link somewhere near logout)
Keep up your good work!
I think that it would we wonderful that you can see products “No visible individually” or add a new option in visibility or let user being capable to see not habilited products…
Great idea, but it doesn’t take into account a custom URL for the product, so I get a 404 when I click it.
