    How to pass Page Field as a variable in Umbraco Macro

    Hi There ,

     

    I have a problem while using Insert_video_1.0.2 package in Umbraco 4.7

    I use the macro to insert a youtube video like this & it works :-

    <umbraco:Macro SourceUrl="www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM" MaxWidth="400" MaxHeight="300" Alias="OEmbed" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

     

    It works with direct youtube link.

    But problem is  now I want to insert youtube link from Admin Panel  i.e as a page field,textstring  (vIDEOURL) like this  .

    I have tried everything  :-

    <umbraco:Macro SourceUrl="<umbraco:Item field="vIDEOURL" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>" MaxWidth="400" MaxHeight="300" Alias="OEmbed" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

     

    and

    <umbraco:Macro SourceUrl='<umbraco:Item field="vIDEOURL" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>' MaxWidth="400" MaxHeight="300" Alias="OEmbed" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    and

    <umbraco:Macro SourceUrl= <a href="/<umbraco:Item field="vIDEOURL" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> "</a>MaxWidth="400" MaxHeight="300" Alias="OEmbed" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

     

     

    from Last one I got youtube url ( in the browser's page source)  like this  /www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM    but   there was no video .

     

    Please provide the proper syntax & how it work.

     

    Thanks

    Hi. You need to use '[#vIDEOURL]' as a macro parameter value like this:

    <umbraco:Macro SourceUrl="[#vIDEOURL]"
      MaxWidth="400" MaxHeight="300"
     Alias="OEmbed" runat="server"/>

    More details about possible macro parameter substitutions you can get here:

    Hi Alpesh and welcome to our,

    If I remember correctly you can make the property recursive by doing this:

    <umbraco:macro alias="RenderProperties" pagevalue="[$bodyText]" runat="server"/>

    Hope this helps,
