    try to link to search page with altTemplate

    Hi,

    I'm trying to link to search results using the altTemplate syntax like this:

    http://localhost/altTemplate=Search?s=Prada

    The alias of my template is 'Search'

    But this doesn't seem to work

    Am I doing something wrong here?

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony

    The altTemplate is also a querystring so try this:

    http://localhost/?altTemplate=Search&s=Prada

    You can also get the altTemplate like this:

    http://localhost/Search?s=Prada

    I think you are missing a ? eg altemplate= is a query string parameter

    Without testing... I think you may need to have....

    http://localhost/?s=Prada&altTemplate=Search

    eg the orignal page takes the s parameter and you are adding the altemplate paramater. (the orignal page parameters get passed onto the alttemplate I think)

    alternatively you can use the shortend version...

    http://localhost/?s=Prada/Search

    This may or may not work, I can't test currently.
