Hi,

In a project he created a new Global value that he want to use in some templates using the line:

@GetGlobalValue("WebSeviceConnectionStatus")

In the backend I'm using the Template.TagExists("WebSeviceConnectionStatus") but this always returns false. is there any way to check this on the backend?

Best,

Rui Silva

Hi Rui

TagExists looks at the template context - the file it self. If you have a global tag, the tag is global meaning it can be used in all templates. So there is not template context - they are global and not related to any specific template and tag exists will therefore return false. But the tag will only be set once. Since your are using Razor you could add the value to a Helper Method instead, include the helper method where needed and call it when needed.
