    Macro Parameters from another level 1 node

    Hi All,

    I have a site which has the following stucture:

    Home
        site pages
        ...
    Settings
         contact form

    The contact form is a usercontrol which is used on all pages.  The macro parameters would get the email to, subject, etc...  Normally I would do this using resursive parameters :

     <umbraco:Macro EmailSubject="[$emailSubject]" EmailTo="[$emailTo]" Alias="ContactForm" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    The above approach takes me to the home node. I was wondring if it's possible to traverse to the root node, then down the settings node.

    Thanks,
    Eddie

    Hi Eddie,

    As far as I know, it is not currently possible to specify/define which node the macro parameters get their values from. You would need to do that inside the macro itself.

    In contrast the <umbraco:Item> actually has a "NodeId" parameter which sets the context of the "Item" / value. Something like that might be useful for the Macro control/tag too.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks for the info.  Ending up using the  Node API route to gain access to the required data.

    Cheers,

    Eddie
