Hi,

Check out this wiki article, in your macro you can detect if it's being displayed in the editor and show different content if desired:  http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/add-dummy-text-to-your-macros-in-the-richtext-editor

Hope this helps,
Tom

hii tom,

thanks for the quick replay..

that could be help.. but my macro is rendring cshtml(razor) , not xslt...

there is a translate for this if?

thanks again.

Hi,

It should be translateable to Razor also - it's just checking to see what page it's being called from (if the URL contains macroResultWrapper) using the HTTP_URL ServerVariable.  Unfortunately I know nothing about Razor yet so can't help you with the syntax.  Sorry!

-Tom

hii tom and thanks again.

till now i can't get it work..

i try to translate for razor like that :

if (umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables("HTTP_URL").Contains("macroResultWrapper"))

{}

it is not working..

i try also just to display the : umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables("HTTP_URL")

but i see nothing..

thanks for trying..

Hi,

This seems to work for me, hopefully for you as well:

  @if (umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables("HTTP_URL").Contains("macroResultWrapper")) {
    <p>rendering from editor</p>
  }
  else {
    <p>not rendering from editor</p>
  }

-Tom

hii.. that exactlly what i am try to do...

not work for me...

i add this to the macro script  -  macroScript/macroName.cshtml

SLOVED..

change to : (HTTP_URL  --> URL)

if (umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables("URL").Contains("macroResultWrapper"))

{

   is render from editor

}

Now it's time to figure this out for Umbraco 7.

Sample url now: 

/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor?macroAlias=MyMacro

So (or use the umbraco library function):

@if(Request.RawUrl.Contains("GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor")){
<span>you are in the editor</span>
}

Sure enough. That did the trick. Thanks!

For more modern Umbraco sites then you can check:

UmbracoContext.IsFrontEndUmbracoRequest

If true then it's the front-end of the site; if false then it's in the editor. You can then use this to render conditional content e.g.

@if (UmbracoContext.IsFrontEndUmbracoRequest)
{
    <div>
        Your macro for front-end
    </div>
}
else
{
    <div>
        The stuff you want to show in the rich-text editor macro holder
    </div>
}

is working on a reply...
