Shiraz image-card macro question

[grimes313]

Hey everyone,

I need help with a macro from the Shiraz plugin; not sure if this is the proper place to ask.

I'm trying to use image-card by passing attributes via tiddler fields, however I can't seem to make the main thing--that is, the actual image--work. As can be seen on the attached screenshot, calling the macro by typing in the image name works just fine, but not when I try to make it pull the name from a field.

I'm quite new to TW and I'm still wrapping my head around it, so I don't doubt I'm missing some basic concept here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi grimes313,

When you want to pass variable or transcluded field use $macrocall widget

More info: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#MacroCallWidget

In your case you can try 

<$macrocall $name=image-card img={{!!field1}} title=...

You cannot pass text references or filtered parameters to macros with that syntax. 
Use the widget version instead:

<$macrocall $name="image-card" img="placeholder.png" title={{!!field2}} text={{!!field3}} align="" width="100" pos="bottom" />
