Greetings!

Say, this may not be possible, but I was wondering:

I have a custom control that takes a string parameter. I have built a macro to encapsulate it.

Is there a way to configure a template such that a GetItem value (specified by the user on the node's general properties) can be fed into the parameter of the custom control's macro?

I tried this embedded ugliness on the template in question:

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="LorienCall" Text=<?UMBRACO_GETITEM field="LorienText"/> />

...but for probably very good reasons it did not work.

Thanks for making such a great CMS!!

Ben

What you want to do is use text="[#propertyName]".

Also, [@param] gets querystring parameters, and [%param] gets session params.

In version 3 (and possibly 2.1.7), [$param] gets a recursive property.
