When my multisite is set up as @web/site, I cannot access the current site handle from my controllers.
Craft::$app->getSites()->currentSite->handle
I think this is because my form action defaults to the root site ie @web/actions/controller... rather than @web/site/actions/controller...
Is there a way to get the current site or do I need to pass it into the controller from the form?
I know this is a year and a half late, but maybe it helps someone else. I have a large multi-site project with a site for country and language. For example:
/de-de//en-de//de-at//en-at/I was having this problem when posting to one of my controller's actions and then trying to get the currentSite within my plugin via Craft::$app->getSites()->currentSite.
In my JavaScript, my action looked like:
/actions/pluginHandle/controllerClass/actionMethod
Whenever I'd fetch the current site with Craft::$app->getSites()->currentSite it would always return the default site (Germany/German), and that's because I wasn't including the first URL segment (to get Austria/English, for example):
/en-at/actions/pluginHandle/controllerClass/actionMethod
Without that, Craft was resorting to getting the default site.
With Craft CMS 3, you can spit out current site values directly with currentSite.
Site ID: {{ currentSite.id }}
Site Handle: {{ currentSite.handle }}
Site Name: {{ currentSite.name }}
Site Language: {{ currentSite.language }}
Is Primary Site?: {{ currentSite.primary }}
Base URL: {{ currentSite.baseUrl }}
Craft::$app->getSites()->currentSite->handlework? What is it returning for you?
