Macro examples
By on2raj , Section Help! [] Posted on Thu Sep 30, 2004 at 12:00:00 PM PST

The Admin Guide is less than helpful, here.

I want to create a two argument macro, but the Admin guide is less than healthy.
I've tried this:
<a href="|upload_link_user|((1))" > ((2)) </a>
Calling it thusly:
((audio littlebird.rm Little Bird))
And this is how it renders, unusable:


<a href="/scoop/files/littlebird.rm%20Little%20Bird"> </a>

I know I'm just missing some obvious and vital part of the syntax, but I have no idea what it could be.
Thanks!

With multiple parameters.. (none / 0) (#1)

..you need to put [] around them when calling the Macro like so:

((audio [littlebird.rm] [Little Bird]))

Otherwise Scoop will think that the entire string you pass it is just the first argument, and all the other parameters are empty. (Technically, because of the way Scoop handles it, if you leave the [] off the last parameter like ((audio [littlebird.rm] Little Bird)) it'll still work, but you're better off being consistent and putting square brackets around all your parameters if you have more than one)

Just checked back to find this. by on2raj, 10/17/2004 08:35:03 PM PST (none / 0)
