    Member Group Picker

    Alias: Umbraco.MemberGroupPicker

    Returns: string

    The Member Group Picker opens a panel to pick one or more member groups from the Member section. The value saved is of type string (comma separated IDs).

    MVC View Example

    Without Modelsbuilder

    @if (Model.HasValue("memberGroup"))
{
    var memberGroup = Model.Value<string>("memberGroup"); 
    <p>@memberGroup</p>
}

    With Modelsbuilder

    @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MemberGroup))
{
    <p>@Model.MemberGroup</p>
}

    Add values programmatically

    See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

    @{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services.ContentService;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = new Guid("796a8d5c-b7bb-46d9-bc57-ab834d0d1248");
    
    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'memberGroup'. The value is the specific ID of the member group
    content.SetValue("memberGroup", 1067);
            
    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}

    You can also add multiple groups by creating a comma separated string with the desired member group IDs.

    @{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'memberGroup'. 
    content.SetValue("memberGroup", "1067","1068");
}

    Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:

    @{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}

    If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:

    @{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'memberGroup'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.MemberGroup).Alias, 1067);
}
