Hi all,

I'm trying to call a macro from within an XSL page, the macro calls another XSL, I can't seem to get it to work, could you help?

Here is my simple XSL:

<xsl:variable name="tpd" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'TicketPriceDisclaimer']"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($tpd)=0">
    Booking &amp; transaction fees may apply, see venue website for details.
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:value-of select="$tpd"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

I'm trying to call it in another XSLT page here:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent(TicketPriceDisclaimer, $currentPage/@id)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Without success, could you advise on where I am going wrong?

Thanks

HI Darryl,

How does the value for the property with alias = 'TicketPriceDisclaimer' look like?

First parameter to RenderMacroContent requires you to pass in the macro syntax as you'd normally do when using it from a template (be it in v3 syntax). Find a sample below
```
<xsl:variable name="Node" select="$currentPage" />
<xsl:variable name="macro">
<xsl:text>&lt;?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="Alias" MacroParameterX="</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$Node/data [@alias = 'propertyAlias']" />
<xsl:text>">&lt;/?UMBRACO_MACRO></xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent($macro, $Node/@id)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
```
Hope this helps.

Do be aware of the fact that you can't render a macro that references a user control from xslt!!

Regards,

/Dirk

Hi Darryl

I'm just wondering if your problem could be solved using either xsl:import or xsl:include (can never remember the difference between those two)?

No parameters in TicketPriceDisclaimer, however you got me going in the right direction, thank you!

<xsl:variable name="Node" select="$currentPage" />
        <xsl:variable name="macro">
        <xsl:text>&lt;?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="TicketPriceDisclaimer" </xsl:text>
        <xsl:text>">&lt;/?UMBRACO_MACRO></xsl:text>
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent($macro, $Node/@id)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
