Hi,

I am trying to use macros in static html web part. First I entered "<a href="{%currentDocument.GetValue("AdvertiseLink1")%}">" when I reopened it became "". It seems the editor automatically changed the content. Any ideas of how to avoid this?

Thanks

GetValue method has two arguments (column name, default value). Use like this:

{%CurrentDocument.GetValue("AdvertiseLink1", "")|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Hello,

The Static HTML web part uses WYSIWYG editor that process its input. However if you place your macro in the Source mode and Save the content, it should get resolved correctly on the live site (no matter how it gets rendered in the editor).

I would recommend to use the Static text web part instead, that is the source of the HTML by default.

Best regards,
