    Get Current Page/Node

    Using Umbraco 7
    Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    I am using Umbraco API Controller and I'm trying to get the current page so that I can access the properties on in the controller. But Umbraco throws a "No current node" or a null exception when I use "Node.GetCurrent". I tried everything I found in the internet but throws the same error. However, If I use IPublishedContent currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(1079);, as you can see, I hard-coded the NodeId, I do find my page/Node. But I do not want to hard-code my page/nodeId because I need it to be dynamic. Any help would be great.

    Thanks.

    Hi Luyolo,

    I was thinking if you can do something like this:

    IPublishedContent currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(CurrentPage);

    Will this do what you are trying to archive.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi,

    If you are using Surface Controller you can use:

    var page = CurrentPage;

    If you are using api controller then its not possible - you need to send the id as part of the GET or POST and then use your method above, ie:

    [HttpGet]
public bool DoSomething(int id)
{
       IPublishedContent currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);
}

    Hi Luke,

    Im using the UmbracoApiController.

    IPublishedContent currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);

    That is the problem I'm having? How to get that id?

    Hi Luyolo,

    What if you do something like this

    IPublishedContent currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(CurrentPage.Id);

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Dennis,

    I tried that, but it does not work. That will work if I use "SurfaceController" but not when I use UmbracoApiController.

     public class MyController : UmbracoApiController

    That is what I want to use and not 

    public class MyController : SurfaceController

    Thanks,

    Luyolo

    Also, 1 think I should mention. I am using angularjs to do call to my controller.

    This is the exception I get

    Cannot find the Umbraco route definition in the route values, the request must be made in the context of an Umbraco request
