Config property to check for if on admin or frontend

[Soma]

Would this makes sense or even easy possible to add a property, so you could simply check in moules/templates if you're in admin or frontend using:

$config->isAdmin;

Something like the $config->isAjax;

If not, so those are the common checks that can be used to determine this (for reference):

if( wire("page")->template == 'admin' ) { // is in admin }
if( wire("page")->template != 'admin' ) { // is frontend }

if( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], wire('config')->urls->admin) !== false ) { // in admin }

checking for only certain admin processes or areas is also possible

// in a autoload module you could also use

if( wire("process") == 'ProcessPageEdit' ) { 
   // is editing page
}

if( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], wire('config')->urls->admin . 'page/edit' ) !== false ) {
   // in editing page
}

That makes sense to me. To add to your list of ways to check, here's another that should be pretty bulletproof:

if(strpos($page->url, wire('config')->urls->admin) === 0) { /* hello admin */ }

+1 for $config->isAdmin;

I needed it today and solved it like:

if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],wire('pages')->get(wire('config')->adminRootPageID)->url) !== false)

Nico, you could also use following to check if in backend.

if($page->template == "admin") { .. }

Or another way when using a hook function, for example

function myhook(HookEvent $event) {
 $cur_page = $event->object;
 if($cur_page->template == "admin") {
   ...
 }
}

Does it work in module's init() ?

It's not about the user I think but context.

not really, in the init no page is loaded yet, but you could try to put it in loaded() or was it ready() function maybe or a hook from in the init().

ready()

Thanks, it helped.

Just to add to this thread - I needed the check to run during init() and the best option I could think of was:

if( wire("process") != 'ProcessPageView' ) {
    //in the admin
}

Can anyone think of any situation where this would fail? Perhaps some modules may run ProcessPageView in the admin?

Maybe Nico's check for the admin path in the URL is a better option.

Anyone have any more recent thoughts on this?

Hi @adrian! I'm using your code to prevent some custom hooks to break things in the back-end. Did you find any case where the code fails?

 

  $wire->addHookBefore('InputfieldForm::render', function($event) {
    if( wire("process") != 'ProcessPageView' ) return; //Prevents classes from being added to the fields in the backend
    $form = $event->object;
    $form->addClass('uk-form');
  });

I don't think I found any problems with it, but I have also been using:

strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $this->wire('config')->urls->admin) === 0

 

[adrian]

This should also work:

strpos($input->url, $this->wire('config')->urls->admin) === 0

so long the PW version is after this bug was fixed

Spoiler alert: I'm building a new module that contains a collection of markup generators and other small helpers, and just added a new "isAdminPage" method. This accepts a Page or a Page ID and defaults to the input url.

Here is a screenshot of the tests and the method itself:
