What is @Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"] returning?

Is it an integer (1234) or a UDI (which looks something like umb://document/a3fc5438670444f38ddcc34adbaa44a7) ?

the 4 digit integer

Hi Mike

If the node with 4 digits integer exists this code should work on 7.4:

@{
    IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"]);
}

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you. How do I reference this in the html though?

@{
            IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
            <p>@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]</p>
        }

That renders an error. As does this:

@{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                <p>@test.Url</p>
            }

Do I need to reference anything at the top of the Partial Macro as well?

Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"] - is this media Id?

If it's media Id you have to use Umbraco.TypedMedia method:

@{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                <p>@test.Url</p>
            }

This is for a content picker, not media. "greyMedia" was just the alias I gave my parameter.

The proposed solution did not do the trick either. I am wondering what the issue could be. as a reference, here is the rest of the partial view macro if it helps.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage


    <div class="row ltds-media ltds-media--gray ltds-p-md">   
        <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-4">

           @{
                var mediaGrayImgMain = Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaImg"];
                var mediaItemOne = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaGrayImgMain);
                <img src=' @mediaItemOne.Url ' class="media-object img-responsive ltds-media_img" alt=' @Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"] '>
            }

        </div>

       <div class="col-sm-9 col-xs-8 ltds-media_body">
            <h3 class="ltds-media_heading">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"]</h3>
            <p class="ltds-media_text">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaText"]</p>


            @{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                <p>@test.Url</p>
            }


        </div>
    </div>

Here is a screenshot of the parameters:

All of the other parameters are working except for this one

What is the error here:

@{
            IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
            <p>@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]</p>
        }

I just get a generic error like this

Can you have a look at Umbraco log? What is the error there?

2018-07-30 17:02:27,341 [P5068/D2/T101] WARN umbraco.macro - Error loading Partial View (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/Grey Media Module.cshtml).

Well this is quite the annoying issue! It still doesnt work. Here's what I have (for your reference):

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage


    <div class="row ltds-media ltds-media--gray ltds-p-md">   
        <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-4">

           @{
                var mediaGrayImgMain = Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaImg"];
                var mediaItemOne = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaGrayImgMain);
                <img src=' @mediaItemOne.Url ' class="media-object img-responsive ltds-media_img" alt=' @Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"] '>
            }

        </div>

       <div class="col-sm-9 col-xs-8 ltds-media_body">
            <h3 class="ltds-media_heading">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"]</h3>
            <p class="ltds-media_text">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaText"]</p>

        @{
            IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
            if (test != null) {
                <p>@test.Url</p>
            }
        }

        </div>
    </div>

The Macro in Umbraco looks like this:

And on my page, it looks like this:

And on the frontend it renders everything EXCEPT the URL:

Anything look out of the ordinary? I am very appreciative of your help on this!

I think this worked. Thank you! I am not sure how resolving the issue works on the forum. Since this last one fixed it, you can edit your original post and I will mark that as correct! thanks again!

Great, really cool that it's fixed :) Mark, please, as solved latest comment, I also edited the previous one. Have a great evening.
