In-template razor logic to run macro if certain field has certain value
Hi,

I have a field on a document type that is true or false and specifies whether the admin wants to show something. That "something" is written in an XSLT macro/file. And my umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent() is not working within that XSLT file so I wan to try another way -- I was thinking perhaps right within the masterpage template checking this field's value and, if true, then write the macro call. How can I do this? Don't I need a script tag or something around the razor/cshtml logic?
```
If(showStuff=1) {
  <umbraco:Macro Alias="ThingIWantToShow" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
}
```
Is basically what I want but I need the correct syntax and form.

Thanks, Garrett

Hi Garrett,

If you want to add if statement to the masterpage use this syntax:
```
<% if (true) { %>
<umbraco:Macro Alias="ThingIWantToShow" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
<% }%>
```
Hope it will help.

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks so much for trying to help, Alex! I will pop that in right after I get one more reply from you -- I also need to know how syntactically to say, specifically, "if useGigya is true". Is it:
```
<% if (Model.Content.useGigya = 1) { %>
<umbraco:Macro Alias="ThingIWantToShow" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
<% }%>
```
I'm sorry but I am all about XSLT and am just now learning Razor and CSHTML. The more complete and exact the answer, the better :)

Thanks again,

Garrett

Garrett, try
```
<% if (Model.Content.useGigya == 1) { %>
```
or
```
<% if (Model.Content.useGigya) { %>
```
Depends on what type is "useGigya" field.

Thanks,

Alex

That field is a true/false checkbox. With either of those code snippets around the macro call I get this error when loading the page from the front end:
```
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Model' does not exist in the current context.
```
Here is the complete snippet from the master masterpage template.
```
<% if (Model.Content.useGigya == 1) { %>
       <umbraco:macro Alias="GigyaSettings" runat="server"></umbraco:macro>
<% } %>
```
Am I missing something? Do I need to import something before it to tell the template what Model is?

Thanks again,

Garrett

Hi Garrett,

Try this code:

    <% if (Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("useGigya") != null && Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("useGigya").Value.Equals("1"))
        { %>
       <umbraco:macro Alias="GigyaSettings" runat="server"></umbraco:macro>
<% } %>

Thanks,

Alex

By the way it's not Razor :) It's webforms syntax.

Add this line to the top of document -
```
<%@ Import Namespace="umbraco.NodeFactory" %>
```
