Does "CurrentSiteName" macro name exists?

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to use the following macro expression:

{%CurrentSiteName%}

to get the current site code name (to be used within the href attribute of link tag).

The macro is resolved to an empty string (it isn't resolved at all, I think).
Does exists such a macro? Should I implement a custom macro instead?

Thank you.

Hi,

Where you want to use the macro expression?

Could you please try to use this:
{%cmscontext.currentsite.sitename%}?

For example, when editing web parts in portal engine, you can click on the small black arrow richt next to the property name and macro editor will be displayed, where you can "build" a macro for a walue you want to have. For more details please see Macro expressions article.

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Hi Juraj,
thank you for your answer. Your tip works fine even if, in the meantime, I implemented a custom macro (I will revert my changes).

I already read the document you mentioned (Appendix A - Macro expressions) and I tried anything before posting.

According to the following document http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/4_1/devguide/cmscontext_class.htm which explains CMSContext class I was trying to use CMSContext.CurrentSiteName (even specifying the full namespace) but it does not work.

Thank you.
