Macro Parameters
Hey, so i appreciate that this has been asked before...but I'm still stuck.

So I'm using Umbraco v7.2.6 ad I'm trying to create a macro which has a true/false parameter which I need to render as a either true or false string on the page. I appreciate that the true/false data type returns 0 or 1 an that you therefore need to convert...but I'm having no luck.

The code in my cshtml is:
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{
    var footer = "";
    var hideFooter = @Model.MacroParameters["data-gist-hide-footer"];
    if (hideFooter.Equals("0")) {
        footer = "true";
    } else {
        footer = "false"
    }
}

<div>@footer</div>
```
But when I run the page i get:
```
Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/footer.cshtml)
```
Any advice for an umbraco novice would be great...cheers! :)

In umbracoSettings.Config update the bit
```
    <MacroErrors>inline</MacroErrors>
```
to
```
<MacroErrors>throw</MacroErrors>
```
Then hit page again you should get full error this will help to debug.

Regards

Dashes might be invalid characters in macro paramater aliases (don't remember for sure). Worth a try to rename the parameter and try again.

Hey Ismail & Sebastiaan,

Thanks for your pointers, I got the debugger to display more info and renamed my parameters and managed to get the macro working:
```
var foo = Model.MacroParameters["bar"];
if (foo.Equals("1"))
{
    foo = "true";
}
else
{
    foo = "false";
}
```
Every day's a school day! :) Cheers Hugh
