<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt;">No, the wizard
tries to load preview.php and play.php, but it doesn't add any
sizes to the url, like the xerte play and preview do.<br><br><br>
The issue with .htaccess and xerte preview is that now you can
have url parameters added to the .htaccess urls, like
play_126?engine=other, and the rules don't handle the
?engine=other properly. I sent a fix for Ron to try by PM,
because I couldn't send anything to the list for some 30
minutes.<br><br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">OK. Does it
impact the re-write rule? At this point I’d rather just
make it work, than be graceful… what I think it means is
that for bootstrap tempaltes, the url the wizard tries to

change it (combine preview of site and xerte) because the

wizard (I think you mean) is code that launches the site
template that does something along the lines of (if
templateruntime = ‘preview_site.php’) blah which
launches the site template in the preview_site page. If
you remember, way back when, when we originally
anticipated different runtimes, we had a runtime param
in the xwd file to point to alternative renderers for
