Rendering MacroPicker data with XSLT?
Hi, I am using the MacroPicker datatype (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/macropicker)

Setting it up wasn't a problem, but now I am having a problem using the data from a node in an XSLT.

This code:
```
<xsl:if test="string($ContentNode/@id)!=''">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent($ContentNode/data [@alias = 'BlurbMacro'], $ContentNode/@id)" />
        </xsl:if>
```
Returns this error as output:



Does anyone know what 'key' refers to? Has anyone else sucessfully used the MacroPicker in XSLT? Should I be doing something other than using "RenderMacroContent" to get its output?

If I just do this:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$ContentNode/data [@alias = 'BlurbMacro']" />
```
It outputs this:

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroalias="Testimonials_GetRandom" numberOfItems="1" source="1216" IncludeHeader="0" IncludeImage="0" ImageWidth="" ImageHeight="" ExcludeIfSamePage ="0" />

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi Heather,

Have you tried rendering the literal Macro text/tag?
```
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RenderMacroContent('&lt;?UMBRACO_MACRO macroalias=&quot;Testimonials_GetRandom&quot; numberOfItems=&quot;1&quot; source=&quot;1216&quot; IncludeHeader=&quot;0&quot; IncludeImage=&quot;0&quot; ImageWidth=&quot;&quot; ImageHeight=&quot;&quot; ExcludeIfSamePage=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;', 1234)" />
```
Not sure what the content node Id was, so just used "1234" for this example.

Only other thing I noticed about the Macro text/tag is that the attribute "ExcludeIfSamePage" has a space after it, and before the equals symbol? But thinking that's a copy-n-paste issue on the forum?

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers, Lee.
