How to get current application

Ishtvan · April 2011

How can you get the current application name via a plugin? I can't seem to find it anywhere directly via the $Sender argument

This is just an untested idea: have you tried looking into the $Sender Array using print_r($Sender)?

yeah, went over it several times. The only way to get the ApplicationName is via a custom index object which is set by the application itself, so it's non-deterministic

Sender->Application, Sender->ApplicationFolder

null ... both null ... even in Base_Render_Before it is still, null.
And in that discussion you mention nothing regarding to how to see the current application name/folder

Not 'ApplicationName', but 'Application'.

class Gdn_Controller extends Gdn_Pluggable {

   /**
    * The name of the application that this controller can be found in
    * (ie. Vanilla, Garden, etc).
    *
    * @var string
    */
   public $Application;

   /**
    * The name of the application folder that this controller can be found in
    * (ie. vanilla, dashboard, etc).
    *
    * @var string
    */
   public $ApplicationFolder;
