Get url of Orchard default pages

I am using orchard 1.9 and I am building a service in which I need to get current URL.

I have OrchardServices and from that I can get the URL like so:

_orchardServices.WorkContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;

This works like a charm for pages/routes that I have created but when I go to the Login or register page (/Users/Account/LogOn) the absolute URL is / and I can't find anyway to get the URL or at least any indication that I am in the LogOn or Register.

Anyone knows how I could get the full url?

If I understand what your're asking, you could use the ItemAdminLink from the ContentItemExtension class.

You will need to add references to Orchard.ContentManagement, Orchard.Mvc.Html and Orchard.Utility.Extensions, but then you will have access to the @Html and @Url helpers.

From there you will have the ability to get the link to the item using: @Html.ItemDisplayLink((ContentItem)Model.ContentItem)

The link to the item with the Url as the title using: @Url.ItemDisplayUrl((ContentItem)Model.ContentItem)

And you should get the same for the admin area by using these:

@Html.ItemAdminLink((ContentItem)Model.ContentItem)
@Url.ItemAdminUrl((ContentItem)Model.ContentItem)

They will give you relative paths, e.g. '/blog/blog-post-1', but it sounds like you've already got a partial solution for that sorted, so it would be a matter of combining the two.

Although I'm sure there are (much) better ways of doing it, you could get the absolute URL using:

String.Format("{0}{1}", WorkContext.CurrentSite.BaseUrl, yourRelativeURL);

...but if anyone has a more elegent way of doing it then post a comment below.

Hope that helps someone.
