Magento 1.7 – Get Current Website ID in Admin

adminmagento-1.7magento-enterprisescopewebsites

I am in the admin and my structure of the scopes is the following:

-> Default
----> Website A
--------> Store DE
--------> Store FR
----> Website B
--------> Store DE
--------> Store FR

So, now I am simply reloading the page and in the _afterLoad() method, in my custom Model, which extends the core backend model where, which redirects to my _afterLoad method, I want to get the ID of the current website, that I am loading (when I change the Scope from the upper left drop-down menu).

Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId() does not help, because it always returns 0. I can get the store code, when I am loading one of the store scopes, and from this get their IDs, but the websites don't have codes, so this cannot help me either.
Mage::getModel('core/website')->getWebsite->getId() does not work either.

I know that the IDs of website A and website B are respectively 1 and 2, but I don't know how to acquire them, when I am in the admin.

Try like this:

$websiteCode = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('website');
if ($websiteCode) {
    $website = Mage::getModel('core/website')->load($websiteCode);
    $websiteId = $website->getId();
    //do your magic with $websiteId
}
else {
    //it means you didn't select a website - either you selected a store view or default.
}

Magento 1.7 Product Link – How to Create a Link to a Product in a Different Website/Store View

You could build the URL's yourself like you're suggesting but there are a couple of downsides like, for example, having a different URL key on the other store.

I always use the Emulation feature in Magento for these kinds of scenarios.

$appEmulation = Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation');
$initialEnvironmentInfo = $appEmulation->startEnvironmentEmulation([the other store ID]);

$product= Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load([product ID]);
echo '<a href="'.$product->getProductUrl().'">Shop now!</a>';

$appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);

This will basically run the code as it was on a different store.

Although I did not test it might also work to set the store ID on the catalog/product model before loading the product.

$product= Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->setStoreId([the other store ID])->load([product ID]);
echo '<a href="'.$product->getProductUrl().'">Shop now!</a>';

Might be worth a try.

Magento 1.7 Get Config Data from Current Store – Admin Area Guide

You problem is that your code is always executed from admin area. So it it always getting store ID of admin store. Which is 0.

To change this you have to fetch the store ID from the order and use as a second parameter of Mage::getStoreConfig(). So in your method it should look like this:

public function salesOrderShipmentSaveBefore($observer)
{
    ...
    $order = $observer->getOrder();
    $title = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/tablerate/title', $order->getData('store_id'));
    ...
}
