Re: previewing draft articles
Thanks so much Julian but I feel that installing a plugin just for this minor issue, visible only to editors, is an overkill.

Re: previewing draft articles
You could try Oleg’s suggestion or do the following instead of using adi_gps or rah_gps:
<txp:php>
global $variable;
$variable['txpreview'] = doSlash(gps('txpreview'));

Re: previewing draft articles
So what you are talking about is:
<txp:variable name="txpreview" value='<txp:page_url type="txpreview" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="txpreview" value="">
<txp:article status="sticky" form="">
....
</txp:article>
<txp:article status="live" form="">
....
</txp:article>
<txp:else />
<txp:article status="live" form="">
....
</txp:article>
</txp:if_variable>!!!! looks very doable!!!!

Re: previewing draft articles
Also thinking back to it and as this only goes under the individual_article context Oleg’s code will actually also work!!!
Strange how a good night’s sleep improves our understanding!

Haha, love it. I just need to keep on churning out half-baked solutions and you come up with something better!
So what you are talking about is:
Not quite. As I understand the status is irrelevant in the (tx)preview (because the article is actually set to ‘draft’ or ‘hidden’), so you just need one article tag. Putting two in there will give you duplicate output again.
