    How do you pass the pageID to a macro?

    Hello!

    I am trying to pass the page ID to my usercontrol macro.

    I have tried the following:

     

    <umbraco:Macro ID="Macro1" CurrentMediaId='[#PageId]' Alias="Comments" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    <umbraco:Macro ID="Macro1" CurrentMediaId='<umbraco:Item field="pageID" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
    ' Alias="Comments" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
    My parameter CurrentMediaId is an Int
    Both these ways pass either null or the string value.. what am I doing wrong?
    Please help!
    Bex

    Hi Bex

    You should be able to pass the current pages id like this:

    <umbraco:Macro ID="Macro1" CurrentMediaId='[#pageID]' Alias="Comments" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    Almost like you already did, but with a lower 'p'.

    Great ;)

    In your c# you can also get the current page's id through the nodeFactory. There's a small guide in the Wiki about it: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/working-with-the-nodefactory

    If you look in the bottom part of the article you'll see how to get the name, a property etc. And if you want to grab the id you can simply do like this:

    Node currenNode = Node.GetCurrent();
    int id = currenNode.Id;

    That way you don't have to worry about sending the as a param through the macro. But that's up to you :)
