    invalid id when using macro to pass in ID

    Hey all,

    I have the sign up working fine when i hard code the mil chimp list ide into th emacro call, however when i try and is an umbraco item or a macro to insert the value into the mail chimp macro call i get an invalid list id.

    If output the umbraco item straight to the page it shows the correct mail chimp id.

    I have tried stripping white space but to no avale.

     

    any suggestions would be great!

    Hi Lachlann

    How do you try to pass the value to the macro? And where do you get the value from?

    Thanks for your reply,

    The value if set on the home page document type and i use the macro to recursibly look up the tree and retrieve it like so:

     <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[./newsletterID!=''][1]/newsletterID"/>

    this returns the expected value when rendered in the master page. To pass it into the Mail chimp macro i do the following:

     <umbraco:Macro Alias="MailChimp4UmbracoSubscribeExtended"
                    MailChimpListId="<umbraco:Macro Alias='MailChimpID' runat='server'/>" 
                    runat    ="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    I have also tried using an umbraco item set to recursive to retrieve the id but this has not worked either, I was wondering
    whether white space could be an issue?
