Partial Macro View File Syntax
I'm trying to setup my first partial view macro file and running into a syntax problem I think. Or perhaps I'm going about this all wrong, either way a little guidance would be MUCH appreciated.

I am on v6.1.6 and am trying to pull in a list of documents that have been selected to be on the current page. I hope this makes sense. In other words, the document type for document asset has a multi-node tree node picker that saves the results in csv. I would like to then place those documents on the correct page as appropriate.

I have the following hard coded which does the trick, but I can't seem to figure out how to use the @CurrentPage.ID variable in place of the hardcoded \"2524\".

Thanks
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage


@if (Model.MacroParameters["nodeID"] != null)
{
    @* Get the start node as a dynamic node *@
    var startNode = Umbraco.Content(Model.MacroParameters["nodeID"]);
    var curPage = CurrentPage.Id.ToString();
    var docs = startNode.Children.Where("Visible && assetPlacement.Contains(\"2524\")");
    if (startNode.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var page in docs)



            { 
                <li><a href="#">@page.documentTitle</a>@curPage (@CurrentPage.Id) @page.assetPlacement</li>
            }
        </ul>
    }    
}
```

I normally have a field on the data type which is a MNTP.

Get the value of that field and split it into an array then get all the content nodes and iterate over them.

string nodesCSV = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("mntpProperty");
nodesCSV = string.IsNullOrEmpty(nodesCSV) ? string.Empty : nodesCSV;

var relatedDocs = nodesCSV.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(int.Parse);

Then with the array:

@foreach (var id in relateDocs) {
       IPublishedContent relatedDoc = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);
    //Do your stuff with this node
}

e.g.

<li><a href="#">@relatedDoc.GetPropertyValue<string>("documentTitle")</a>

Does that help at all?
