Sitecore: Detect user in Page Editor mode


Can I know how to detect user is in page editor mode using code? This is because, I have a component, when user browses from page editor, it will search in master_index folder instead of web_index folder.


Solution

  • Please check with : if (Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsPageEditorEditing)

    also is working on Sitecore 6.6, it not depends on Sitecore 7.

    Please check also this Sitecore blog post by Martina Welander.

    To check if is normal page use: if (Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsNormal)

    To check if is preview mode use: if (Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsPreview)

    Also are others PageMode:

    If you are curious you can check with Reflector or dotPeek this class: Sitecore.Context.PageMode from Sitecore.Kernel assembly.
