multiple .tpls

I am having trouble assigning multiple .TPLs to to a datacapture. I created 2 tpls and put them in the presentation folder. I modified the templating.cfg file. When I preview or generate both tpls show up in the selection screen (radio buttons). I get an error on the original tpl which worked fine in the past. The new tpl works fine. The error message is
"Unable to retrieve preview directory for the presentation template"
I am using v 5.5.2 on NT

I suggest you post (as an attachment) your IWHOME/local/config/templating.cfg file -- or at least the portion of it that corresponds to the data-type for which you are trying to define the multiple PTs.

<data-type name="replicant" dcr-type="iwov">
<presentation>
<template name="replicant1.tpl" extension="html">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
<directory dir-regex=".*" />
</branch>

</locations>
</template>
</presentation>
<presentation>
<template name="replicant2.tpl" extension="asp">

You should only have one presentation element per data-type. Inside that presentation element you can have multiple template elements.

Remove the highlighted parts, save the templating.cfg file, do an iwreset (can't remember if it's needed) and then try previewing your DCR again.

< data-type name="replicant" dcr-type="iwov">
 < presentation>
  < template name="replicant1.tpl" extension="html">
  ...
  < /template>
< /presentation>
< presentation>
  < template name="replicant2.tpl" extension="asp">
  ...
  < /template>
< /presentation>
< presentation>
  < template name="replicant3.tpl" extension="jsp">
  ...
  < /template>
 < /presentation>
< /data-type>

Thanks. That worked.
