[SOLVED] Return the current context key

Hey, hello,

Well, I want to knows: how to return the current context key, In the API doc, no function exist for it (or I mistake ?)

Low

I had this problem also - I couldn’t find the context key anywhere.

What I did in the end was to get the current resource and retrieve it’s context_key property.

return the correct value !

Cool! Thanks for sharing

And for the people who want to retrieve the current context by a given ID I created the following simple snippet with Pandy06269's tip.

<!--?php
/*
* Usage [[getContext? &id=``]]
*/

//retrieve ID or use current resource
$id = (!empty($id) ? $id : $modx--->resource->get('id'));

//retrieve context
$page = $modx->getObject('modResource', $id);
$output = $page->get('context_key');

//return output
return $output;
