I know that the standard Umbraco 7 installation has a member picker however I need to create a custom version whereby only members of a certain member type are shown (e.g. Candidate).
Has anyone done this before and might be able to provide some pointers or does anyone have any additional pointers for the best way of doing this.
Additional useful links for creating custom Umbraco 7 property editors would also be helpful.
Most of the pickers in nuPickers can be configured to do this.
For example any of the Xml Pickers can be configured as per the following screen-shot to return a collection of Members where the MemberType is 'ExampleMemberType':
Thanks Hendy, a great contribution and package. Ican confirm both methods work perfectly. Is there any speed difference between using the Lucene based picker as opposed to the XMLPicker?
I have another question about the NuPickers if possible? I am needing to render a dropdownlist based on the data that appears in a Lucene Dropdown Picker on the front-end of my site.
How do I go about doing this as retrieving the PreValues for the data type only display the configuration settings and not the data itself.

HTH,

Here's another example, this time configuring the Lucene pickers to return members of 'ExampleMemberType':

Hi Graham,
XPath isn't slow ! but I think I'd tend towards using the Lucene pickers, as the members xml is generated by first hitting the database.

Hi Graham,
That's not currently a feature, but we can certainly add this.
