Filter DataFactory.Instance.GetReferencesToContent on sites in EPiServer CMS 9
Here you have two extension methods. You could easily change them to use contentlink instead of IContent if you feel like:
public static int SiteIdAsInt(this IContent content)
{
var definition = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<SiteDefinitionResolver>().GetDefinitionForContent(content.ContentLink, false, false);
if (definition == null)
{
return -1;
}
return definition.StartPage.ID;
}
public static Guid SiteIdAsGuid(this IContent content)
{
var definition = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<SiteDefinitionResolver>().GetDefinitionForContent(content.ContentLink, false, false);
if (definition == null)
{
return Guid.Empty;
}
return definition.Id;
}

<p>Thanks! I used a version of this to get it to work. </p>
<p>If someone is interested, this is the code I ended up using.</p>
<pre class="brush:csharp;auto-links:false;toolbar:false" contenteditable="false">var references = DataFactory.Instance.GetReferencesToContent(authorBlockLink, false);
var siteDefinitionResolver = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<SiteDefinitionResolver>();
var referencesList = new List<ReferenceInformation>();
var siteGuid = SiteDefinition.Current.Id;
foreach (var reference in references)
{
var referenceSiteDefinition = siteDefinitionResolver.GetDefinitionForContent(reference.OwnerID, false, false);
if (referenceSiteDefinition == null)
continue;
if (referenceSiteDefinition.Id != siteGuid)
continue;
if (!reference.OwnerID.IsPublishedAndUserHasAccess())
continue;
referencesList.Add(reference);
}</pre>

This topic was created over six months ago and has been resolved. If you have a similar question, please create a new topic and refer to this one.
Is there a way to filter DataFactory.Instance.GetReferencesToContent on sites? E.g. we want only to get references on the same site as the user visits.
We have a multisite solution and I've tried to fetch a SiteDefinition or a startpage or anything that I can compare to the original reference but haven't found any way of doing that. Haven't found a way of getting a SiteDefinition from either ContentReference, PageData or any other object. Feels weird that it should be so difficult so I have a feeling that I'm missing something.
