SiteContext Blank

Andre Pfanz asked on April 19, 2016 20:59

I'm trying to create an alias for a page but am getting an error due to SiteContext.CurrentSiteID being 0 and SiteContext.CurrentSiteName being blank. Here's the code:

DocumentAliasInfo alias = new DocumentAliasInfo();
alias.AliasURLPath = oldURL;
alias.AliasNodeID = postNode.NodeID;
int currentSideID = SiteContext.CurrentSiteID;
alias.AliasSiteID = currentSideID;
string currentSiteName = SiteContext.CurrentSiteName;
DocumentAliasInfoProvider.SetDocumentAliasInfo(alias, currentSiteName);

How do I get the SiteContext to initialize its properties?

I think I found the answer. I'm running the code in a console application. I think SiteContext only works within an IIS application.

You don't have to initialize SiteContext, this is something Kentico takes care of and it should never be blank. Could you please post here what error says?

Here are the details of the error message I get when I call the SetDocumentAliasInfo method:

INSERT INTO CMS_DocumentAlias ([AliasNodeID], [AliasCulture], [AliasURLPath], [AliasExtensions], [AliasWildcardRule], [AliasPriority], [AliasGUID], [AliasLastModified], [AliasSiteID], [AliasActionMode])

VALUES (@AliasNodeID, @AliasCulture, @AliasURLPath, @AliasExtensions, @AliasWildcardRule, @AliasPriority, @AliasGUID, @AliasLastModified, @AliasSiteID, @AliasActionMode);

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS [ID]

Caused exception:

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_CMS_DocumentAlias_AliasSiteID_CMS_Site". The conflict occurred in database "Kentico-Kirksey", table "dbo.CMS_Site", column 'SiteID'.

The statement has been terminated.
