I created a partial view macro for a contact form that requires a parameter to choose what e-mail address will be the recipient of the info. If the parameter says "A" will go to [email protected], if the parameter says "B", it will go to [email protected].
I made a Model for this with its Surface Controller. The partial view's first line is :
@model IIDH.Models.ContactFormViewModel
And the parameter is "CountriID" which is a textstring that is completed with the "A" or "B" once it is used in the RTE.
The problem I have is that I am not able to read the parameter in the cshtml Partial, since it is not inheriting from Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
How could I read that parameter? I will use a HTML.Hidden to send it to the Surface Controller, but first I need to assign the hidden field with the Parameter value entered in the RTE.
It just doesn't allow me to compile when I use @Model.MacroParameters["CountryID"]... @Parameter.CountryID...
In another form that I am using for a Photo Gallery, doesn't need a Model, so it is inhereted from Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage, and there I do have access to the Model.MacroParameters collection, but I can not inherit from Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage at the same time as using a Model because it shows this error: "The 'inherits' keyword is not allowed when a 'model' keyword is used."
Macro parameter in a RTE macro
Hello...
I created a partial view macro for a contact form that requires a parameter to choose what e-mail address will be the recipient of the info. If the parameter says "A" will go to [email protected], if the parameter says "B", it will go to [email protected].

Thanks for your help.
Hi Carlos
How have you tried reading the parameter? What code did you use?

Hello Jan....
It just doesn't allow me to compile when I use @Model.MacroParameters["CountryID"]... @Parameter.CountryID...
In another form that I am using for a Photo Gallery, doesn't need a Model, so it is inhereted from Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage, and there I do have access to the Model.MacroParameters collection, but I can not inherit from Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage at the same time as using a Model because it shows this error: "The 'inherits' keyword is not allowed when a 'model' keyword is used."
Getting back to what I did:
This is how it appears in the code of the RTE:
<div class="umb-macro-holder mceNonEditable"><!-- <?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="ContactForm" CountryID="CR" /> --> <ins>Macro alias: <strong>ContactForm</strong></ins></div>
And the Partial:
@model IIDH.Models.ContactFormViewModel
<div class="cform" id="contact-form">
@if(TempData["success"]==null)
{
using(Html.BeginUmbracoForm<IIDH.Controllers.ContactFormSurfaceController>("HandleFormSubmit")){
@Html.Hidden("CountryID","CR") <=== This is what I want to do with the input parameter value entered in backoffice in the RTE
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Nombre completo o nombre de la organización:</label>
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name, new { @class = "form-control", placeholder = "Nombre completo o de la organización" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Name)
<br />
</div>
etc. etc. etc.
Friends... Any idea what I am doing wrong or how to get that parameter value?
is working on a reply...
