How can i get my community Base URL in apex

Question

I am using Salesforce Community and I have network Id of the community but I don't know how can I get Base URL of my community. Any one know how can I get my community base URL using its id in apex as a internal user.

Is there any other way in which salesforce internal user can get the base URL of all his community in the apex also i don't find any object in which Community Base URL is stored. I checked network sObject but it only store community path prefix not the complete URL so how can i get the base URL for my community?

Answer 1

finally i found the answer i use

Network.getLoginUrl('Pass Community id here')

in this way i found the login page URL for the community and then break the URL and use as per my Requirement.

this is an approach that you can also take to prepare a base URL when clicking standard or CustomObjects links within a Lightning/VFP (for example). If you want to load those record Details page dynamically, opening on internal and Community properly, you can use something like this:

List<Network> network = [SELECT Name, UrlPathPrefix FROM Network WHERE Name = 'YOUR COMMUNITY NAME'];
String base = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm(); 
if (base.contains('https://yourCommunityDomain.force.com') && !network.isEmpty())
    baseURL = base + '/' + network[0].UrlPathPrefix + '/s/detail';
else 
    baseURL = base;

Notes:

• I used a List because if you don't reach a Record you get empty list instead of an exception.
• Base URL represents the URL that user is using (it will load for internal and external/Community URLs)
• If it is a Community user access, then I prepare the URL by using the base external Community URL, then the URL you choose for your Community, and then the /s/detail in order to be able to open record Details by ID

Hope it helps, happy code!

I did this to get the relative URL, whether internal network or an external site:

Id currentNetworkId = Network.getNetworkId();
Network n;
if(currentNetworkId != null) {
    n = [SELECT Id, Name, UrlPathPrefix FROM Network WHERE Id = :currentNetworkId];
}
String relativeUrlBase = '/' + (currentNetworkId != null) ? n.UrlPathPrefix : '';

Hope that helps someone.

On a Visualforce page controller/extension, you can always grab the base URL using the URL class methods in apex:

URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm()
