Question

I am trying to pass a value from a macro into a razor template. But it doesn’t seem to be working any suggestions?

Here is the macro code:

   <umbraco:Macro Alias="VideoInline" videoUrl ="[#videoUrl]" videoPosterImage="     <umbraco:Item field=' runat='server' Xslt='umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},false())/umbracoFile'></umbraco:Item>"
runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

Here’s the razor template:

 @using System
 @using umbraco.MacroEngines



<video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls 
 preload="auto" poster="@Model.getProperty(Parameter.videoPosterImage).Value" 
data-setup="{}">
 <source src="@Model.getProperty(Parameter.videoUrl).Value" type='video/mp4'>

 </video>   

Answer 1

When passing parameters into a macro, you should only need to access them with @Parameter. So in this case it would be @Parameter.videoUrl.

Also, don’t forget that you will need to add the parameter to the macro definition in Umbraco itself in the Developers > Macros section.
