Where did CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext go?

Cesar Pinilla asked on April 14, 2014 17:42

I’m upgrading an existing kentico webapp to version 8 but I’m unsure where the CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext library is now? I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to update existing code that relied on those libraries to work.

For example, I’ve used calls like this in the past to set up different page elements dynamically:

  • CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentName
  • CMSContext.CurrentAliasPath
  • CMSContext.ViewMode == CMS.PortalEngine.ViewModeEnum.Edit (to test if in editor mode or preview or live)
  • CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.EditableItems[“test”]

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Hi Cesar,

CMSContext was broken up into sevral classes. The members you are looking for are now:

  • DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentName
  • DocumentContext.CurrentAliasPath
  • PortalContext.ViewMode
  • DocumentContext.CurrentPageInfo.EditableItems

and

  • DocumentContext is now in DocumentEngine.dll in CMS.DocumentEngine namespace
  • PortalContext is in PortalEngine.dll in CMS.PortalEngine namespace

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the above, where am I able to find the CMSContext.GetUrl method and is there somewhere that references the Kentico 7 -> 8 api refactoring?

Peter, the GetUrl method is here CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentURLProvider.GetUrl. I found the API CHM to be useful for changes like these.

If you need to find where did parts of our API go, you can find it here https://devnet.kentico.com/documentation/api-changes/kentico-8?page=1
