Learn moremodX::getContext¶
Retrieve a context by name without initializing it. The context data is cached in the $modx->contexts array, so the same context is not loaded twice within a request. To check the current context, read the key directly instead:
$modx->context->key;
Syntax¶
modContext getContext (string $contextKey)
Example¶
Get the ‘sports’ Context.
$ctx = $modx->getContext('sports');
