I have several macros that when I add them into the editor they look fine and then once I publish the page, the yellow dotted outline turns into gray dashed lines and when I view the html of the editor I see the generated html table structure the macro outputs instead of the macro tags.
The data displays correctly but if I add items I have to remove the table and re-add the macro to get the added items to show in the page.
Is there some kind of setting that changes this behaviour?
How does the macro look on the frontend? Does It look fine?
If you have set a mark in the "Render in Editor", then your macro will be rendered in the richtext editor as well as on the frontend, after you have saved your page.
But what's in your macro. Is it a table and all that stuff?
Yes it looks fine when rendered other than if I update the nodes it does not show the new nodes unless I remove the html and add the macro back every time.
The "Render in Editor" is set, and it does render in both places the problem is that the macro code goes away after the publish is selected and all that is left is the actual html that the macro generates. In other words the little yellow dotted outline goes away and if I click on the html it does not recognize the code is from the macro, the code (table stuff) is just directly in the editor.
Macro turning into html table in RTE after publish
Hello All,
I have several macros that when I add them into the editor they look fine and then once I publish the page, the yellow dotted outline turns into gray dashed lines and when I view the html of the editor I see the generated html table structure the macro outputs instead of the macro tags.
The data displays correctly but if I add items I have to remove the table and re-add the macro to get the added items to show in the page.
Is there some kind of setting that changes this behaviour?
I am using 4.0.2.1.
Thanks.

Hey Kim,

Hmm...well that sounds kind'a weird. I'll give you that :)
But what does your macro do?
renders an html table.
is working on a reply...
