Hi vince20151,

The siteService is only available in the repository side (Alfresco, not Share) javascript. From your javascript you'll need to call a webscript that returns you the Site information. You might need to create your own webscript for that.

Hi vince20151

You can not access Alfresco js API in share webscript's js. This is only accessible from Alfresco webscript's js file.

To solve your issue

You can use below code snippet in share js


  var siteId = page.url.templateArgs.site; //get site Id
  var json = remote.call("/api/sites/" + siteId); //Call alfresco OOB webscript for site detail which includes title
  var obj = eval('(' + json + ')'); // parse JSON object
  
  var siteTitle = obj.title; //get title from json

Thank you fstnboy. It is a bit confusing but I understand that concept now. I need to create an Alfresco webscript and call it from within my share page to get that info.
Thanks a bunch!
