I have a web forms based installation of umbraco 6.1.3 and I'm trying to make some user control based macros. The macro seems to behave as intended when I manually insert it into the master page, but not when I insert the macro into a regular page. When I insert a macro into a regular page and view that page, it renders the initial viewstate but that's it, nothing happens after I click any buttons. None of the server-side stuff is happening. Any ideas? It would be kind of a pain to have to create a template for each page I want to insert a macro. Thanks.
Yes, I'm adding it with the rich text editor. When I add the macro to a page with the rich text editor, it's like there's no postback occurring. When I add it to the template, the macro works as intended. But I'd prefer to add a macro to a specific page if possible, instead of to a template.
In the back office content section, I select my page. Then I click the "insert macro" button on the toolbar, and it inserts the macro onto the page, like so. However, when I load the page, the macro does not work as intended. No server-side processing occurs.
You sir, are correct. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I am using uBlogsy (webforms version) which displays the content in a different manner. As soon as I switched the page template to use the method you showed me, the macro works as intended. Thanks again!

How are you adding the macro's to the page. With the rich text editor ?
Does your template contain a form runat="server" tag ?

My template does contain form runat="server"
Hello,
How do you render the rich text editor which has the macro on your page?

I mean how do you show the rich text editor on your website? Do you place an umbraco item on your template or do you use xslt?
Jeroen
Oh, I'm not displaying a rich text editor on the page. I use the tinyMCE rich editor to insert the macro on the page in the back office, that is all.
If you don't render the tinyMCE rich text editor somewhere on your template you also won't see the usercontrol macro.
