Visibility based on site

For my site, I have a development box, a staging server, and a production server. Content authors use the staging server for content production and I use the development box for testing out new web parts and to test new concepts.

On my root master page I have a Google Analytics web part set up with out account. My concern is that activity on my machine, and on my staging server will be posting "activity" to Google instead of just having it be the production server.

I thought of setting the Enabled property of the Web Part to only be when it is our production server but I cannot setup an OR in the macro. How can I accomplish this?

RE:Visibility based on site

Hello.

Could you please consider using custom macro in proper web part´s property (e.g. Visible property) and determine site´s code-name in code-behind? You can use logic similar to:

switch (CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSiteName)
        {
            case "CorporateSite": return true; break;
            case "EcommerceSite": return false; break;
            default: return true; break;
        
        }

You can find more details about how to write custom macro on http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm
