Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem when using models generated by API Models builder within an UmbracoAPIController.

My controller I've simplified and have got this:

public class CoursesController : UmbracoApiController
{

        [AcceptVerbs("GET")]
        [HttpGet]
        public HttpResponseMessage GetBody()
        {
            Guid guId = new Guid("176f0be4-4d59-4868-b4d7-9320d43d9311");
            CourseSlide courseTextCard = (CourseSlide) UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetById(1197);

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(courseTextCard.Introduction);

            return new HttpResponseMessage();
        }
}

Where CourseSlide is the model generated by models builder and Introduction is rich text editor field. This all works OK until I have a Macro within the rich text editor and then I got the following exception:

<Error>
<Message>An error has occurred.</Message>
<ExceptionMessage>
Cannot render a macro when there is no current PublishedContentRequest.
</ExceptionMessage>
<ExceptionType>System.InvalidOperationException</ExceptionType>

</StackTrace>
</Error>

This is suggesting a missing PubslishedContentRequest but I'm not sure how to get around this on an API Controller?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Andy
