    Getting username from user ID

    Hi there,

    I have some code that outputs the user ID; however, I want it to output the username instead.

    @if(CurrentPage.HasValue("author"))
    {
        @CurrentPage.author
    }
    else {
        @CurrentPage.WriterName
    }
    

    "Author" is a property that was created with the user picker.

    What should I do. I've tried:

    @CurrentPage.author.Name
    
    @CurrentPage.author.ToString()
    

    And .ToString() outputs the ID and .Name breaks it.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Amanda,

    You can use the Umbraco helper called @Umbraco.TypedMember to solve this.

    You can use the code below to get the name of the member.

    @if(CurrentPage.HasValue("author"))
    {
       var member = Umbraco.TypedMember(CurrentPage.author);
       @member.Name
    }
    else {
        @CurrentPage.WriterName
    }
    

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
