Hi Danny,

no you don't have to use rawcontent.
You can cast the item to the correct placeholder type and then access the
content using the correct properties.

The fact that nrmode=unpublished is added is interesting. Actually you are
in update mode - so I would understand that nrmode=update is being added but
not unpublished.

Anyway: this can happen if the URL format is not correct. Then MCMS will not
be able to identify that the URL points to a managed item and you will end
up with an invalid URL.
I would suggest to check the code that generates the URL.

Cheers,
Stefan
