1. Hi Jacob, for page templates we use a control adapter to override the render method of the EPiServer.UI.WebContols.SystemIFrame control. The override appends an additional querystring parameter such as previewmode=true to the iframe url this allows us to query this within the template code. not completly failsafe but seems to work ok. - Nick

2. Nice one Nick. I've always been looking for a good way to know if a page is being reviewed from inside edit mode, and this seems like a good way to do it. You should share the code in a blog post :-) EPiServer does this itself, as the right click menu is different when inside edit mode. I suspect that to be done in Javascript, but haven't looked into it.

3. Hi, I don't know why but that trick didn't work for me. The thing I ended doing was to get the id from the querystring, and parsing it to a PageReference to check if it contains a workID. The ID in the QueryString has both the pages ID and the current version beeing edited, for example 1563_1234 where 1563 is the pages ID and 1234 is the current version. If the QueryString contains a work page ID it means that I'm currently looking at a draft, not the published page, hence I´m in Edit mode. When getting the WorkID of a PageData object that's published you will get 0 as a result, and that's what I'm testing against. Here is the code public bool IsPageInEditMode { get{ PageReference pageVersionReference = PageReference.Parse(Request.QueryString["id"]); if (pageVersionReference.WorkID > 0) return true; return false; } }

4. Hi, all we do is check to see if there is a querysting parameter of 'idkeep=true'. I understand from EPiServer, that this is only present while in edit mode.
