Passing URL parameter during Preview

I have a site that has index.cfm as the page that pulls in 'ALL' content pages based on a passed URL such as: index.cfm?pageID=home. Is there a way to intercept preview to pass the generated file name as the page ID and redirect the preview to index.cfm?

I'm thinking iwproxy preconnect but how do I pass a URL parameter?

When you mean preview, are you talking templating preview or the actual click on any page ans view ?

Templating preview. I'm creating new forms. These will generate an html snippet (roughly the body section) that gets included by the index.cfm page based on the passed URL parm.

ok, easy.

Make your main TPL a stub which does 2 things.

1st it needs to use iw_ostream to generate the included file. 2nd it should do an http redirect to the CFM page.

Also, search for a KB (#59207) I wrote in the Tech Lib, it is about using DotNet (aspx/ascx) pages within templates. That will also be required to use TST preview.

Thanks Andy!

That sounds reasonable. I'll give it a try.
