Hi,

I would like to know how to render a macro with page properties as parameters.

For example, my page has 3 properties:

featuredTrackTitle
featuredTrackM4A
featuredTrackOGG

The macro renders PartialViewMacroFiles that launch a javascript:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    string trackTitle = Model.MacroParameters["trackTitle"].ToString();
    string trackM4A = Model.MacroParameters["trackM4A"].ToString();
    string trackOGG = Model.MacroParameters["trackOGG"].ToString();
}



<script>    
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("#featuredTrack_player").jPlayer({
                ready: function () {
                    $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
                        title: "@trackTitle",
                        m4a: "@trackM4A",
                        oga: "@trackOGG"
                    });
                },
                swfPath: "/js",
                supplied: "m4a, oga",
                supplied: "m4a, oga",
                cssSelectorAncestor: '#featuredTrack_container'
            });
        });
</script>

So in my razor script I wrote this:

@{
        var ft = Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.featuredTrack);
        var m4A = Umbraco.Media(ft.GetPropertyValue("M4A")).Url;
        var ogg = Umbraco.Media(ft.GetPropertyValue("OGG")).Url;
    }

    @Umbraco.RenderMacro("HomepageFeaturedTrack", 
                         new {trackTitle=Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.featuredTrack).GetPropertyValue("title"), 
                             trackM4A=m4a, 
                             trackOGG=ogg})

It's not working.

Could anyone have an idea how to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

In your PartialViewMacro you can use:

Model.GetParameterValue

To read the value of the macro parameters you have passed.

So:

string trackTitle = Model.GetParameterValue

should work ?

as long as 'trackTitle' is an alias of a property setup on the Macro in the Umbraco back office

(I'd probably just past the featuredTrack Id into the macro, and do the work to retrieve the title, m4A and ogg Url values in there, rather than passing them ?)

Yeah, indeed it works better with the trackID as parameter. But I kept the Model.MacroParameters, it works better. (in my case)

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    string jqueryElement = Model.MacroParameters["JQueryElement"].ToString();
    string trackID = Model.MacroParameters["TrackID"].ToString();

    var track = Umbraco.Content(trackID);
    var trackTitle = track.GetPropertyValue("title");
    var trackMP3 = Umbraco.Media(track.GetPropertyValue("mp3")).Url;

    var player = "#" + jqueryElement + "_player";
    var container = "#" + jqueryElement + "_container";
}

<script>    
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("@player").jPlayer({
                ready: function () {
                    $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
                        title: "@trackTitle",
                        mp3: "@trackMP3"
                    });
                },
                swfPath: "/js",
                supplied: "mp3",
                cssSelectorAncestor: '@container'
            });
        });
</script>
