    PAULEM,

    There are two ways to get the messages id from context object.

    Your condition would be like below code.

    <#if env.context.message?? >
  <#assign msg_id = env.context.message.uniqueId />
<#else>
  <#assign msg_id = page.context.message.uniqueId />
</#if>

     

    You can get the ID of the currently rendered message
    ${page.context.message.id}
    ${env.context.message.id}

    You can get the unique ID of the currently rendered message
    ${page.context.message.uniqueId}
    ${env.context.message.uniqueId}

UPDATE:

I've found Parshant's answer on page-context-user-on-MediaGalleryPage worked for me to!  When you go to page 2 (etc) the URL has '/page/2' appended to the end so I've used Parshant's code to check the URL.

I would rather run the script, so if there's a way to get the OP's ID on page 2 I'd love to hear about it. In the meantime, this has removed the error from page 2, etc which is good for our community members at least!

Cheers, Paul.

You can get the ID of the currently rendered message
${page.context.message.id}
${env.context.message.id}
