Get the current site

Overview

In the following sample you learn the different APIs to access the current site in a multisite deployment of Sitefinity CMS.

	using System;
	using System.Linq;
	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.News;
	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Multisite;
	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services;

	namespace SitefinityWebApp
	{
	public partial class SitefinitySamples
	{
	public void WorkWithMultisiteAPI()
	{
	// Take the multisite context
	var currentContext = SystemManager.CurrentContext;
	var multisiteContext = currentContext.MultisiteContext;
	var currentSite = multisiteContext.CurrentSite;

	// You have several options to get specific site with MultisiteAPI
	// Get by site name
	var siteByName = multisiteContext.GetSiteByName("SecondSite");

	// Get by site domain
	var siteByDomain = multisiteContext.GetSiteByDomain("https://secondsite.com");

	// Get by id
	Guid exampleSiteId = new Guid();
	multisiteContext.GetSites().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == exampleSiteId);
	var siteById = multisiteContext.GetSiteById(exampleSiteId);

	// Now you can choose in which siteContext you want to work
	using (new SiteRegion(siteByDomain))

	{
	// Perform action, for example:
	// We edit news item which is present in the site with domain https://secondsite.com
	NewsManager newsManager = NewsManager.GetManager();
	var newsItem = newsManager.GetNewsItems().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Title == "My Title");

	if (newsItem != null)
	{
	newsItem.Title = "New title";
	}

	newsManager.SaveChanges();
	}
	}
	}
	}
