Site dependent visible object

Looking for a nice method to control visibility within a form that the user is in the testing site. For example, a rich text object "You Are On The Test Site" would be visible only when in the test site.

  Hi Dale
  
  There are several approaches for that case - best two that comes into my mind:

  1. Check the Web/Site URL
  Prerequisite: you have something in the site url you can differentiate prod from test site 
  Check if the current url contains specific text  like this:

  =[[@Web.ServerRelativeUrl]].contains("test")

  2. Configuration List Entry
  Create a (hidden) config list in the site.
  Create a list entry containing a Prod-Flag or a choice field System Type with values "Test" and "Prod" which you can set on each site different.
  To check this flag/value on the form's Visible Expression use the GetFirstValueForQuery function like this:

  =[[@Web.GetFirstValueForQuery('YourConfigList', '<Where>filter to get back the correct config list entry</Where>', 'YourSystemTypeFieldName')]]=="Prod"
