    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
