Hey breezer,
no problem, I’ll try anything if there’s a chance it might work, so don’t worry you’re not wasting my time at all

I tried your 2nd option and it gives the url index.php?id=2&template=preview&id=53
but unfortunately still doesn’t seem to be picking up on that blog.preview.tpl
so, same error as before I guess, so that would suggest that it’s not a problem with the url I suppose.....
Added:- I just read on the Pogwatch site that
The blog.first.tpl template chunk is used for the listing unless the query string "?template=preview" is appended to the URL.
so the original index.php?id=2?template=preview&id=53 is indeed correct.
This is my blog.config.php
<?php
if ($_REQUEST['template'] !== 'preview') {
if (empty($_REQUEST['tags'])) {
$display = '3' ;
}
$tpl = 'blog.first.tpl' ;
$extenders = array('summary') ;
$tagData = 'pwTags' ;
$tagDelimiter = ',' ;
$tagDisplayDelimiter = ', ' ;
$orderBy = array('parsed'=>array(), 'custom'=>array(), 'unparsed'=>'pkDate DESC, menuindex DESC');
} else {
$documents = $_REQUEST['id'];
$showPublishedOnly = 0;
$display = '1' ;
$tpl = 'blog.preview.tpl' ;
$extenders = array('summary') ;
$tagData = 'pwTags' ;
$tagDelimiter = ',' ;
$tagDisplayDelimiter = ', ' ;
}
?>
and this is my blog.preview.tpl
<form action="[~48~]" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="docId" value="[+id+]" />
<input type="hidden" name="tags" value="[+pwTags+]" />
<input type="hidden" name="returnId" value = "47" />
<input type="submit" name="command" value="edit" />
<input type="submit" name="command" value="delete" />
<input type="submit" name="command" value="publish" />
</form>
<div class="blogItem">
<h4>[+pagetitle+]</h4>
<h5>[+pkDate:date=`%d %b %y`+] <span class="links">[+tagLinks+]</span></h5>
<h3><a href="[+url+]">[+longtitle+]</a></h3>
<div class="blog_intro">[+summary+]</div>
<p class="more">[+link+]</p>
</div>
<hr />
[+content+]
my pkPreviewFlag tv is set as Checkbox with Input Option Values: Preview==1
I just can’t see what’s wrong here and like I said, the other site (which does have friendly urls set), is working fine.
Any ideas anyone?
