Macro in where condition

lawrence whittemore asked on April 10, 2015 06:23

I have this as a macro {% cookie = Cookies["Season"].ToString(); month = currentdatetime.Month; if (cookie == "") {if (month > 2 && month < 6) {x = "1"}; if (month > 5 && month < 9) {x = "2"}; if (month > 8 && month < 12) {x = "3"}; if (month > 11) {x = "4"}; if (month < 3) {x = "4"}; return x} else {return cookie}|(handlesqlinjection)false#%}

and am trying to put it in a where condition but it doesn't seem to want to resolve. When I place it in a different field it resolves a 1. When I type a 1 into my where condition it yields the results I want.

Am I missing something? in version 7.0.103

Hello,

it should get resolved in the Where condition as well. Please open the macro editor by clicking the small black arrow that is next to the Where condition label and copy your macro there.

Best regards,

Lawrence have you tried turning on Debugging to see what the macro is outputting? Are there any errors in the event log?

I turned on macro debugging and the macro doesn't even run. I also tried adding a simpler macro and it doesn't run it just shows up as code.

Do macros not work in widgets?

This is what it shows in the where condition when the page tries to load {%CurrentDocument.DocumentName|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}' + '|%')

As a test I made added a repeater with the same settings directly to the page and it worked fine. So there is something with the widget that I am doing wrong.

Hello Lawrence,

Did you tried with parentheses?

Something like this:

{% ( cookie = Cookies["Season"].ToString(); month = currentdatetime.Month; if (cookie == "") {if (month > 2 && month < 6) {x = "1"}; if (month > 5 && month < 9) {x = "2"}; if (month > 8 && month < 12) {x = "3"}; if (month > 11) {x = "4"}; if (month < 3) {x = "4"}; return x} else {return cookie} ) |(handlesqlinjection)false|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

No Luck, I have also tried changing the where conditions filed Form control to different types to see if that would help

In order for your custom macro to be debugged, I think you need to include the (debug)true at the end along with the sql injection. Try placing that in and see if your starts to show up in the debug.
