[Solved] Preview of hidden/unpublished posts throws 404 error

[rash]

Hi guys,

I’m struggling with an annoying problem which I guess where it comes from, but can‘t find a way to get rid of it. When I try to preview hidden oder unpublished posts in the /kompendium/ category, I'll receive a 404 error, when I do the same thing with posts of other catgegories, everything works as expected. The only difference is an url thing I’ve bulit to shorten urls like /kompendium/entry to /entry/, while others are formed completely like /category/entry/.

To enable this, I use the following code in my home template:

<?php
if (strlen($input->urlSegment2)) {
    // 2 segments => 404
    throw new Wire404Exception();
}
else if (strlen($input->urlSegment1)) {
    // 1 segment, check whether it exists in /kompendium/
    $name = $sanitizer->pageName($input->urlSegment1);
    $post = $pages->get("/kompendium/")->child("name=$name");
    // if so render /kompendium/name/
    if($post->id) {
        echo $post->render();
      }
      // else 404
      else {
          throw new Wire404Exception();
      }
      $render_homepage = "no";
}

if ($render_homepage != "no") {

// render normal home content

}
?>

and in _init.php there is the following hook to ensure lists are generated in the wanted manner (all entries in /kompendium/ and only those work with template pg_entry)

<?php
ProcessWire\wire()->addHookBefore('Page::path', function($event) {
	$page = $event->object;
	if($page->template == 'pg_entry') {
		$event->replace = true;
		$event->return = "/$page->name/";
	}
});
?>

So everything is fine beside the preview/404 problem with hidden/unpublished posts. As some of them show quite complex content, the preview funtion is important. Any hints, why it doesn’t work?

Thanks
Ralf

Hi @rash

Maybe you should include 

include=all

to your child selector like

if($user->isSuperuser()) {
	$post = $pages->get("/kompendium/")->child("name=$name, include=all");
} else {
	$post = $pages->get("/kompendium/")->child("name=$name");
}

Hi Zeka,

BINGO, that’s it, problem solved! The easyness and logic of your solution is probably a bit embarrasing for me, but sometimes I don’t see the most obvious things. So thanks a lot, you saved a lot of my time and nervs.
