Global:Request.Host in Razor

Hi,

I do not seem to be able to find information about how to retrieve Global tags in Razor. So for now, could someone please share information about a way to retrieve general useful information perhaps using standard .NET code? I mean it should be possible to get things like:

Hostname, querystring parameters and so on :-)

I would love it to be put on the github site, if we want the community to work, why not put it on a generally accepted site like github? :-)

Med venlig hilsen/Best regards,

Hi Sten

In Razor you do not need the global tags. You have the full httpcontext, pageview, user etc. context. So you can do like this:

Global:Area.LongLang would be:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString();

Global:Extranet.UserName would be:

PageView.Current.User.UserName;

Global:Request.Host would be:

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;

BUT - you can access the Global tags Collection from Razor like this:

PageView.Current.GlobalTags.GetTagByName("Global:Something")

Hey Nicolai,

I am trying to get the current culture of the website - in some backend code. However, can you tell me whether I am doing something completely wrong by the following:

var cultureCode = Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView.Current().Area.Item["AreaCultureName"].ToString()

Am I missing something?

What is backend code?

If you are not in the frontend, you cannot access Pageview object - because it is not there.

You can always use System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture - it is set in frontend to the culture specified on the website settings.

Hey Nicolai,

I might be misunderstanding something then - if System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture is equivalent to the language set on the website settings, I guess that would be the proper way to call it then :-) - In my case though i am using some custom modules - for html output and ecommerce as well, and we do utilize the namespace dynamicweb.frontend.PageView() - its basically in that context I am to retrieve the current language code for the website..

I guess either way is possible then :-)

Hi Mikkel

The pageview sets the culture on the current thread. So in that way they are the same.
