Umbraco V5 - Macro - Pull Child Page Content into Parent Page
I have a Testimonials Page with each Testimonial as a child page.
I need to pull each Testimonial into the Testimonials Page.

The only content/fields I'm pulling is testimonialQuote and testimonialName.

I'm used to doing this in XSLT, but with Umbraco 5 dropping it for Razor, I'm stuck.
I've created a Macro and Macro Partial and rendor the file:
```
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("testimonials")
```
But what do I put in the Macro Partial's file?

I need to create:
```
<div id="testimonials">

  <div class="testimonial">
    <div class="quote"></div>
    <div class="name"></div>
  </div>

  <div class="testimonial">
    <div class="quote"></div>
    <div class="name"></div>
  </div>

  <div class="testimonial">
    <div class="quote"></div>
    <div class="name"></div>
  </div>

</div>
```

I'd do something like this

<divid="testimonials">

@foreach (var item in DynamicModel.Children)

{

<div class="testimonial">

<div class="quote">@item.testimonialQuote</div>

<div class="name">@item.testimonialName</div>

</div>

}

</div>

Thanks Andrew,

Unfortunately I'm getting a server error in :/
Can anyone test this V5?

@inherits PartialViewMacroPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Macros
@using Umbraco.Framework

<div id="testimonials">
 
@foreach (var item in DynamicModel.Children)
  {
  <div class="testimonial">
      <div class="quote">@item.testimonialQuote</div>
      <div class="quote">@item.testimonialName</div>
  </div>
  }
</div>

This works for me in V5. What kind of error do you get?
Looks like it's something in the references at the top that's giving you trouble, since that's all I changed.

But I'm not that experienced with Umbraco at all, so I have no idea what's really causing the error.
```
@inherits RenderViewPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web;

<div id="testimonials">
@foreach (var item in DynamicModel.Children)
{
  <div class="testimonial">
    <div class="quote">@item.testimonialQuote</div>
    <div class="quote">@item.testimonialName</div>
  </div>
}
</div>
```

Ar, it works as a normal Partial and added to the Template.

I was creating a Macro Partial and Macro and then adding the macro into the rich text editor...

Thanks guys!

What build are you using? I can't get RTE insert to work with surface controllers in Fridays nightly (see http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U5-274?projectKey=U5) it used to work though!

BTW how do I insert pretty code in this forum...??

Is there a way to remove the paragraph tags? I'm using a Rich Text Editor for the Quote.

I need to add removeParagraphTags: true to .quote

@inheritsRenderViewPage
@usingUmbraco.Cms.Web;

<div id="testimonials">
@foreach(var item inDynamicModel.Children)
{
  <div class="testimonial">
    <div class="quote">@item.testimonialQuote</div>
    <div class="name">@item.testimonialName</div>
  </div>
}
</div>

Oh, I see I misunderstood what you were doing and what you wanted to do in the first place. Sorry :)
I didn't get any errors when I created a new macro/macro partial and pasted Andrews code into it unfortunately, so I don't know why you got the error.

Regarding your last question, all I could find was this:
```
@Umbraco.Field("testimonialQuote", removeParagraphTags: true)
```
But that only removes the first "<p>", so at the very least you get an extra "</p>" after the field value...
If you have more paragraphs they get rendered with paragraph tags. This really seems like a bug though.

Since it's a quote, couldn't you use the simple editor or just a textbox for the text?

Sorry I can't help more then that, but I found these on the subject (haven't read them though):
http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/19379-Remove-paragraph-tags-with-razor
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7122802/how-to-remove-html-tags-from-rich-text-editor-in-umbraco-razor ;

@Andrew: Select the code snippet and change the format from Paragraph to Preformatted.

If people are still wondering:
```
@Html.Raw(item.testimonialQuote)
```
will paste the content's HTML

Actually, even better:
```
@Umbraco.Field(item, "testimonialQuote")
```
It will then use the FieldRenderer, which in turn also renders embedded macros, e.g.

I'm not sure if this works with DynamicModel.Children, though; I'm using Model.Children...
