Macros in widgets

Can you be a little more specific?

If you're trying to use macros in the Widget properties, make sure to hit the black > icon to the left of the edit field to turn it into a "macro" input.

I have a wdiget based on a repeater. the macro i have is in side the where condition NodeAliasPath like '/{%x=CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath.Split("/")[1];return x|(handlesqlinjection)true|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}/Sliders/%' or NodeAliasPath like '/Global-items/sliders/%' it renders when I place it on the page, but does not in the widget.

It seems I am able to make it work if I make it part of the default widget properties and not editable by the page editor.

Macros dont work in widgets, you will have to create another template and use a web part. Or, like you said, make it part of the default widget properties.

Now I get ya, yeah Laura is correct, you can't natively put macros in widget properties the use enters, you would have to either adjust the web part code to render the text through the current macro resolver, or give the use a separate field and then in the default widget property settings put a macro that references that separate field.
