Google/Yahoo links and previews...

We setup the Instant Website for one of our clients.

Have two issues:

1. When searching in Google/Yahoo, both engines have picked up a link in this format: (as an example search for Certainty brands foam soaps)
http://www.google.ca/url?q=http://www.certaintybrands.com/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D54%26Itemid%3D88&sa=U&ei=mNl5TrWjNaTs0gGE89G3Ag&ved=0CBYQFjAC&usg=AFQjCNGXSPiBN7pZ83QBekUM7_pucI5zsg

This results in getting to the site however you get this error message on the actual page instead of the actual content: Notice: Undefined index: name in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 59

Notice: Undefined index: content in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 60 Notice: Undefined index: photos in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 63 Notice: Undefined index: attachments in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 80

How can you avoid this?

2. The preview functionality doesn't work from the CMS Builder admin panel.

When trying to use it, it looks for http://certaintybrands.com/index.php?preview-9999999999

This gives the same type of error as above. Notice: Undefined index: name in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 59

Notice: Undefined index: content in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 60 Notice: Undefined index: photos in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 63 Notice: Undefined index: attachments in /services/webpages/c/e/certaintybrands.com/public/index.php on line 80

How can you avoid this and get a proper preview?

Hi,

You're right, currently the preview function doesn't work with Instant Website. We're looking into this problem and hope to have a fix out in a future release.

As for issue 1, it looks like there are other variables ending up in the URL that aren't used in Instant website, such as view and itemId. Is this a brand new website, or did Instant Website replace an old version of the site? If so, do these variables look like something that might have been used in the old version?

Let us know.
Thanks

Hmm, OK, hope you will be able to get the previews to work in the next upgrade.

The site is brand new so there should not be any "old" variables interfering. Any other ideas? Do you want admin panel access to have a look?
