Detect if Page is Being Loaded in CMSDesk

Hi!

I want to redirect a page template to include a query string and make it bookmarkable, but when I have this code in my PageLoad method:

string redirect = Request.QueryString["aliasPath"] + "?campus=" + CurrentCampus;
if ((currentHash.Value != null) && (currentHash.Value != ""))
{
redirect = redirect + "#" + currentHash.Value.Replace("#", "");
}

Response.Redirect(redirect);

It causes the EditableRegions to load as rendered in the CMSDesk, and I can't edit them.

Is there a way to detect when the page is loading within the CMSDesk and then not call the Redirect command?

Thanks!

RE:Detect if Page is Being Loaded in CMSDesk

Hello.

Well, if I understand you well, I guess the best way to determine this is to compare current ViewMode with one from the ViewModeEnum enumeration (as listed below),

e.g. by using CMSContext.ViewMode property, like:

if (CMSContext.ViewMode == ViewModeEnum.LiveSite)
{
 //   perform only when in the live site mode
}

and vice-versa with NOT operator (when not in live site).

The enumeration also contains various modes that can be distinguished:

namespace CMS.PortalEngine
{
    // Summary:
    //     Page mode enumeration
    public enum ViewModeEnum
    {
        // Summary:
        //     Live site mode
        LiveSite = 0,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Preview mode
        Preview = 2,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Edit mode - content editing
        Edit = 3,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Edit mode - content editing (editing disabled)
        EditDisabled = 4,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Edit mode - not current page
        EditNotCurrent = 5,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Edit mode with disabled controls - when not authorized or cannot edit
        Design = 6,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Design mode with disabled controls - for portal engine pages
        DesignDisabled = 7,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Edit form mode - for portal engine pages
        EditForm = 8,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Unknown / does not matter
        Unknown = 9,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Properties tab
        Properties = 10,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Product tab
        Product = 11,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     User widgets mode
        UserWidgets = 12,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     User widgets mode with disabled functionality (for preview mode)
        UserWidgetsDisabled = 13,
        //
        // Summary:
        //     Group widgets mode
        GroupWidgets = 14,
    }
}
