Live preview with NextJS SSR

https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-live-preview/set-up-live-preview-with-rest-for-server-side-renderingI completed all the steps listed in this document to setup live preview for our site. When debugging, I see that the live preview hash and content_type_uid are received by the NextJS server. They are then passed by me to the Stack.livePreviewQuery. Now when I try to test live preview, the website is loaded successfully and I get the following message: You are currently previewing a different webpage. To go back, open the webpage that corresponds to the current entry.When I make changes to the entry, the website in the preview pane reloads (I see it blinking a bit + the server logs indicate that new requests are made each time I make draft changes to the entity), but it never gets into the “draft” mode. The thing is that while all these live preview configuration steps seem to be simple, I lack understanding of how exactly live preview works, so I don’t have any idea o

By using the Automation hub I am publishing the entries to AWS SQS queues and consuming them in a different application.I need to do some validations based on the ‘updated_by’ field, but I am getting only the ID for the user. ("updated_by": "blt*******40a").@shailesh Mishra, any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Fetching all referenced entries

In our project, we need the content manager to have the ability to create entries from other entities that reference each other. Flexibility is the priority, so the structure of the content does not adhere to any predefined schema and is unknown in advance. The issue is that we are unable to retrieve an entry along with all the entries it references, as well as their referenced entries.In this discussion, the idea of introducing a potential include_all method or parameter was brought up, but as of now, such an option is not available. Are there any plans to implement this feature in the future?

How to build Multilingual Website using NextJs & Contentstack?

I have a website running with NextJs with one language, and now looking to make it multilingual with language switcher.I got one article to do so but that’s with Gatsby but I doubt that will be helpful in my case.  https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/sample-apps/build-a-multilingual-website-using-gatsby-and-contentstack#enable-multilingual-in-your-gatsby-starterAny reference to that will be helpful.

Include refernce which creating Entry from java sdk

I am able to create new entries through my Spring boot app using Java Management SDK. How can I include the references to other content types while creating the entries? Example: I have a content type called Product with a reference to another content type Item. So when I will create a new Entry for a Product from Java SDK, how can I include the Item reference along with the product request? (I have already available Item entries inside the stack) Note: I have already worked with entry.includeReference() to get the reference data for another content type entry along with the main Content type Entry.

How do I ensure a custom text field is unique?

I’m creating an extension that will be a single line text field, and I’d like to ensure its value is unique. When setting a normal text field on a content type, I can have contentstack verify the field is unique before saving the entry by checking the box under properties > advanced > options > unique. When using a custom text field, I still see the “mandatory” and “non-localizable” options, but the unique option is gone. So how can I ensure the value entered is unique?

Can I create a field that's read-only for users in the UI?

I’m thinking about how I might clear the cache for a specific page on my CDN when an entry is changed. One idea is to update entries with the url of any page they are added to via a webhook that triggers when pages are updated.    For this, I’d want a field where I can add the url via API, but not via UI. I’ve seen documentation about metadata, but it seems metadata needs to be associated with an extension for some reason. I also don’t see a way of creating or reading metadata using the javascript sdk.   Can I create this kind of read only field? And if not, do you have any suggestions for how I might otherwise determine when to clear a cached page on my CDN?

Live Preview feature with GraphQL API

I'm interested to know how other CS users translate content (with ease) across multiple locales

With multiple locales, it can sometimes be difficult to manage the translations. I’d be keen to know how other CS users handle writing, updating and loading content for multiple locales to the platform. Do you utilise the Marketplace widgets? Is there an internal export import routine built and ran to populate content or is this an opportunity to use ChatGPT to help translate the content directly in the content types and entries?

Unable to edit lengthy HTML

Hello,We are currently experiencing challenges with HTML when it becomes lengthy within our Rich Text Editor (RTE). We are currently only able to anchor our cursors part-way down the code. More specifically, we are unable to highlight HTML code towards the bottom of the editor as it places the cursor much closer to the top, jumping us up the block of code. This has rendered the bottom part of our HTML code uneditable.This appears to be happening on every browser.We would greatly appreciate any assistance or insight into this problem.Thank you,Luke
