Hi. I'm new to Umbraco, building my first site. I have created a macro using LeBlender and that works fine. But now I want to try and add some code that references the CurrentPage. I can see that the LeBlender Model doesn't support this, so do I need to add another @imports or @using declaration at the top of my partial? Many thanks!
This way, you can access the Umbraco context and helper and the current content through the method:
Umbraco.AssignedContentItem
But this method works only in frontend. If you need a preview of your view within the backend, use the method we added into LeBlender helper which works in both backend and frontend:
Hi Antione. Thanks very much - I've got it working now. Is there somewhere I can download details of all the LeBlender properties and methods? The PDF that came with the install seems pretty short and there's not much to find via a standard web search. Many thanks again for helping me!
IsFrontEnd() // return true if the current context is frontend
Thanks for that Antoine! It's just helped me sort out an issue in the backoffice whereby adding certain css to a div I'm adding via LeBlender made the LeBlender un-editable, i.e. you could add it then set the CSS, but then not re-edit it.
How do I see the CurrentPage value?

Hi Mike, the doc is short but really there isn't much more to know :)
I just have to add some lines about the helper I mencioned before, but actually it has only two methods:
and
IsFrontEnd() // return true if the current context is frontendHi Antione. That's great - thanks for explaining it all to me! I'm finding LeBlender really useful. Thanks for all the hard work! :o)
This Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Helper.GetCurrentContent()
Does not work if the node is unpublished, then what to do ?
