Hi all, I'm using a new installation of Umbraco 5 and trying to figure out whether I can make use of some reusable content, but using a macro to decide when its shown or not. I'll try to explain:

I have a partial view (heroText.cshtml):

<div id="hero-text">
  @Umbraco.Field("heroText")
</div>

This is made visible to the user as a property on the homepage template/doctype. Once the user enters their data, I want ot be able to use this on child pages without having to renter the value per page. I'd like them to enter the value once on the homepage, then have the contents inherited by the child pages.

The child template I'd like to display this reusable content is called standard, which has the folloiwng macro partial:

@Umbraco.RenderMacro("renderHeroText")

The contents of this macro are:

@if(DynamicModel.Children.Count() > 0) {
    <div id="hero-text">
        @Umbraco.Field("heroText")
    </div>
}

When I then view a child page that is using the standard template/doctype, the html is rendered, but NOT the contents that the editor supplied on the home page (where it does correctly render).

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Thanks
