PageEditing.WorkspaceIsActivated - Is it reliable?

Vote:

I am using this property to determine when the page is in the editor preview mode. On some of my templates it works correctly (returning false when the page is being viewed in the editor in preview mode) and on other templates, it returns true regardless of whether the page is in preview mode or not.

Has anybody else seen this?

Use PageEditing.PageIsInEditMode instead. The workspace functionality is currently not used and that flag has been obsoleted.

Thanks Linus - The problem with that however is that it returns true regardless of whether preview mode is on or off. I need to know when preview mode is on.

Hmm, there might have been a change since the release of EPiServer 7 but I'm getting a "public" URL when preview is on which results in the PageInEditMode being false when in preview.

That is, I'm getting the behavior above with the latest code so there seems to have been a change there with different URL:s for editing and previewing. That's the behavior you will get when we release 7.5. I don't know that there is a reliable way of determining this in the 7.0 release since it seems that we are only turning on/off the overlays client side in 7.0/7.1.
