TinyMCE as macro parameter
Has anyone implemented the richtext editor as a parameter in macros?

I tried to created a new property editor with the standard rte.html, but it throws a lot of JS errors, and it does not work:
```
{
    "propertyEditors": [
    {
      "name": "MacroRichText",
      "alias": "Our.MacroRichText",
      "editor": {
        "valueType": "STRING",
        "view": "~/umbraco/views/propertyeditors/rte/rte.html"
      },
      "isParameterEditor": true
    }
  ]
}
```

Hi Morten Christensen

Are you able to achieve this? Please share how to do this.

Thanks Manish

Hello Manish,

Yes I actually did! Here is the solution:

In App_Plugins, create a new Folder called RichTextMacro (or whatever your like).

package.manifest

{
    propertyEditors: [{
            alias: "RichTextMacro",
            name: "RichTextMacroEditor",
            isParameterEditor: true,
            editor: {
                view: "~/App_Plugins/RichTextMacro/RichTextMacro.html",
                valueType: "TEXT"
            }
        }
    ],
    javascript: [
        "~/App_Plugins/RichTextMacro/RichTextMacro.controller.js"
    ]
}

RichTextMacro.controller.js

angular.module("umbraco")
.controller("Macro.RichTextMacro",
    function ($scope) {
    $scope.textInput = {
        label: 'bodyText',
        description: '...',
        view: 'rte',
        value: $scope.model.value,
        config: {
            editor: {
                toolbar: ["code", "removeformat", "link", "unlink", "bold", "italic", "underline", "strikethrough"],
                stylesheets: [],
                dimensions: {
                    height: 200
                }
            }
        }
    };
    $scope.$watch('textInput.value', function (newValue, oldValue) {
        $scope.model.value = newValue;
    });
});

RichTextMacro.html

<div ng-controller="Macro.RichTextMacro">
    <div style="border: 1px solid #ccc">
        <ng-form>
            <umb-editor model="textInput"></umb-editor>
        </ng-form>
    </div>
</div>

Now, do an App Recycle in IIS, and clear cache in your browser. The macro can now be added as an macro param.

Do you get any JS errors?

Also, if you are using Chrome, you will have to do a hard clear cache in the browser.

It looks like you have an extra semicolon in the macro you are adding.

Hi I'm totaly new to Umbraco (and razor and Angular) but found this thread after having the same issue. Seems like it works allright except for one thing that I can't really figure out the correct solution for.

Text that is entered in the editor is rendered undecoded ( the < and > is displayed as < and > etc)

I only render it in the Partial View Macro as:

< div>@Model.MacroParameters["Text"]< /div>

My question is: Do you decode it when rendered or did I miss something when creating the plugin. shouldn't the text be decoded when it is stored and not when rendered?

And how do you do that ?

/J

Edited: To output the html correctly I had to do: new HtmlString(WebUtility.HtmlDecode((string)Model.MacroParameters["Content"]))

Otherwise the allready encoded text will be encoded again resulting in &lt; when a < is rendered.

I think the value should allready have been decoded so you only had to do: new HtmlString(Model.MacroParameters["Content"]), but I don't know how to do that.

Does it work if you use:
```
<div>@Html.Raw(Model.MacroParameters["Text"])</div>
```

I'm currently struggling with the same problem as Johan, the text in my macro is rendered as text and not HTML. I've tried doing the following to pick out the HTML:
```
var text = Model.MacroParameters.ContainsKey("text") != null ? WebUtility.HtmlDecode((string)Model.MacroParameters["text"]) : "";
```
Which is then used in the template with @text but this still renders as text.

I also tried your suggestion Morten (Html.Raw) but this gives a partial view script error, I'm not sure if I got the syntax wrong because I'm a bit of an Umbraco beginner.

Is there any way to use the mceImage/MediaPicker with this solution?

Tried to add mceImage to the toolbar:.. parameter but it does not appear there.

Edit: Nevermind, I was just to stupid to realize that I don't need to add the umbracoAlias to the toolbar parameter, but instead the frontendCommand.

```
<div>@Html.Raw(Model.MacroParameters["Text"])</div>
```
Will not work as according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg568896(v=vs.99).aspx

"The Razor syntax @ operator HTML-encodes text before rendering it to the HTTP response. This causes the text to be displayed as regular text in the web page instead of being interpreted as HTML markup."

Any other idea on how to get this to render as I am struggling to find a way?

Had the same issue just now. Instead of only using @Html.Raw() use something like this:
```
@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode( @Model.MacroParameters["Text"].ToString() ));
```
Is bit ugly, but it works.

Any suggestion how to implement this into v8? They have made some changes, if I follow the instructions above it doesn't work. Error 404 not found for /umbraco/Rte when I try to create an instance of the macro. Thanks

Hi Erik

Had a similar issue when updating my Editor Notes package:

https://github.com/marcemarc/EditorNotes/commit/513e25164faef949ab599a46554b46dc9256932b

Try setting the view to be:
```
   view: '/umbraco/views/propertyeditors/rte/rte.html',
```
instead of 'rte'

and the toolbar I think has some different options: try:
```
 editor: {
                    toolbar: ["ace", "undo", "redo", "cut", "styleselect", "bold", "italic", "alignleft", "aligncenter", "alignright", "bullist", "numlist", "link", "umbmediapicker", "umbmacro", "umbembeddialog"]
```
and after the dimensions, add the new mode setting to be classic:
```
dimensions: {
                    height: 200
                },
                    mode: "classic"
```
I can't think of anything else I had to change...

maybe that will work!

regards

Marc

To Render RTE Content passed by Macro-Paraemter and also render internal links! use this code (V8):

@using Umbraco.Web.Templates;
@using Umbraco.Web.Composing;
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    HtmlLocalLinkParser htmlLocalLinkParser = new HtmlLocalLinkParser(Current.UmbracoContextAccessor);
    string text = Model.MacroParameters["textFromRTE"].ToString();    
}

@Html.Raw(htmlLocalLinkParser.EnsureInternalLinks(Server.HtmlDecode(text)))

This was working in v10 but I've upgraded to v13 and it's not working.

Has anyone got it working in v13?

In v13 you can use blocks in the RTE instead. Much better, and not deprecated like Macros are.

Yes but that's a massive amount of work to convert the macros and then the existing content.

A quick fix would be appreciated before we plan for all that work in the next upgrade.
