Plugin extenders - variable which shows that page is called from Dashboard ?

johansonlocker · December 2011

For example page of UserProfile contains '/Dashboard' in the URL but is not called from a Dashboard window.
Pages Role, Settings on the contrary belong to Dashboard but not contain '/Dashboard' in the URL.

    public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {

     if ((!(strpos(curPageURL(),"/forum/dashboard/profile/")>0)) and

        ((strpos(curPageURL(),"/forum/dashboard/")>0) or  
           (strpos(curPageURL(),"/forum/vanilla/settings")>0) or
           (strpos(curPageURL(),"/forum/role")>0) or
           (strpos(curPageURL(),"/forum/plugin")>0) ))

Is there some variable which shows that page is called from Dashboard ?

We currently use this:

if ($Sender->MasterView == 'admin') {
    ...
}

or

if (Gdn::Controller()->MasterView == 'admin') {
    ...
}
