Hello
The code below for getting the current page is returning null when used in Page_Load on a template masterpage:

var psn = SiteMapBase.GetActualCurrentNode();

Is this the wrong place to use this code?

Thanks
Ryan

A little more testing, and this only occurs on the homepage of the site, if I don't specify the page "/home"  in the url address bar. Clicking on "Home" in the menu, and the code returns the PageNode. What is the solution here, to get the root node?

My quick fix:

01.PageManager pageManager = new PageManager();
02.var psn = SiteMapBase.GetActualCurrentNode();
03.PageNode pgn1;
04.if (psn != null)
05.
06.    pgn1 = PageManager.GetManager().GetPageNode(psn.Id);
07.
08.else
09.
10.    PagesConfig pagesConfig = Config.Get<PagesConfig>();
11.    pgn1 = pageManager.GetPageNode(pagesConfig.HomePageId);
12.

Thanks, I had this same issue and this post helped.

I made a function for finding the Guid of the current page ...

01.public static Guid GetCurrentPageId()
02.
03.    Guid pageId;
04.    PageSiteNode psn = SiteMapBase.GetActualCurrentNode();
05.    if (psn == null)
06.    
07.        PagesConfig pagesConfig = Config.Get<PagesConfig>();
08.        pageId = pagesConfig.HomePageId;
09.    
10.    else
11.    
12.        pageId = psn.Id;
13.    
14.    return pageId;
15.
