How to know if save was clicked in Content Editor or Page Editor in saveUI processor

Question

I have a saveUI processor and I only want to run my code if the user clicked the save button in Page Editor. I've tried checking the context like:

Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsPageEditor

but it's always false. My guess is that the processor isn't in the right context.

How do I go about checking where the click was from? Is the "sender" indicated in the args somewhere?

You should be able to correctly detect the PageMode in the Sitecore Context via

if (Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsPageEditorEditing)

There are also options like

• IsPageEditor
• IsPageEditorDesigning
• IsPageEditorClassic

If you have a look in the Sitecore.Context.PageMode namespace you will see all the options available to you so you can detect the mode you need.

I believe for older versions of Sitecore (possibly 6.5 and below) there were different properties.
