How to pass Page Field as a variable in Umbraco Macro

Extending Umbraco

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,
