How to detect search context (forums vs tkb) on SearchPage

On the SearchPage, I would like to change the styling based on if users are searching the forums or knowledge base, or users.

I see that within the url, this information exists.

t5/forums/searchpage/tab/tkb?location=community%3Azjzhh79394

Is there a way to access this via freemarker?

    dustin - Yes, you could use this context object and then code your way through.

     

    http.request.urlReturns the full request URL including protocol, server name, path, and query string parameters9.5.1
     ${http.request.url}

     

    Source

     

    I hope this helps.

    Following the recommendation, here is the code I ended up with...

     

    <#if page.name == 'SearchPage' && http.request.url?index_of('tkb')?number gt 0>
// Knowledge Base tab on Search Page is selected
</#if>
