Dave,
Thanks for the reply; I hope you had a great holiday break. When I use
the following in the weblog template, the published look matches the look from
two pagers; however, preview does not show the new entry at all. I'm guessing
getRecentWeblogEntries() returns only those which are published.
<h2 class="section-title">Current Status</h2>
#set($entries = $model.weblog.getRecentWeblogEntries("Current Status",
1))
#if(!$entries.isEmpty)
#set($day = $entries.get(0).pubTime)
#end
#includeTemplate($model.weblog, "_day")
<h2 class="section-title">Planned Events</h2>
#set($entries = $model.weblog.getRecentWeblogEntries("Planned Events",
1))
#if(!$entries.isEmpty)
#set($day = $entries.get(0).pubTime)
#end
#includeTemplate($model.weblog, "_day")
Should I go ahead with that change to remove any possible problems with
having two pagers and then look at other options for making preview work?
Once again, thanks for your help.
-David

Subject: Re: preview or template question
A pager is really designed to be used alone on a page without other
pagers. If you use two pagers on a page, they may interfere with each
other.
In your case I would recommend using the Weblog's
getRecentWeblogEntries() method instead, it returns a simple list of
Weblog entries that you can display with a #foreach loop.
List getRecentWeblogEntries(String cat, int max)
Get most recent WeblogEntries in the weblog up to the number max.
You can specify a category name if you'd liike only entries from one
category (or "nil" for all categories).
