Hey everyone,

I have a YouTube macro that takes a url and adjusts the url so that you get just the video, and I have a variable in the macro that has the new url.  I then have a banner doc type that has a link property which the user may enter a url, in the banner template I call the YouTube macro. I then want to take the variable inside the macro and set the link property with the new adjusted YouTube string.

I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

This is the template code:

<asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
  <umbraco:Macro Alias="Banner" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
  <umbraco:Macro youtubeUrl="[$currentPage/data[@alias='link.url']" Alias="Youtube" runat="server" >
  </umbraco:Macro>
</asp:content>

I dubbuged this through Visual Studio and I know it grabs the link properly.

YouTube Macro:

var youtubeVideoRegex = new Regex(@"youtu(?:\.be|be\.com)/(?:.*v(?:/|=)|(?:.*/)?)([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)");

Match youtubeMatch = youtubeVideoRegex.Match(@Parameter.youtubeUrl);

string youtubeCode = youtubeMatch.Groups[1].Value;

string url = "http://www.youtube.com/v/" + youtubeCode;

The string variable 'url' is the one I would like to grab, I added it in hopes of being able to access it from outside the macro.

Thanks!
