It seems the problem is that GetCropUrl is an extension method on IPublishedContent, but Umbraco.Core.Models.Member does not implement the interface IPublishedContent.

So what do?

I can get the JSON string for the imagecropper, but isn't there a better way?

Maybe the GetCropUrl extension method should extent ContentBase instead?

Hi Mitton,

You can get member data as IPublishedContent, the advantage over Member is that the data is cached however it's of course read only.

Depending on your existing code, you could do this:

var typedMember = Umbraco.TypedMember(123545);
var cropUrl = typedMember.GetCropUrl(100, 100);

Jeavon and Tobias, thank you so much. You are life savers!

In my controller .GetCropUrl() dosen't exist with Umbraco.TypedMember() any ideas? Is it because it's a surfacecontroller with custom model?

public class UserController : SurfaceController
{
    public ActionResult ForgotPassword() 
    {
        return View("ForgotPassword");
    }

    public ActionResult ResetPassword()
    {
        return View("ResetPassword");
    }

    public ActionResult RenderProfile(string profileUrl)
    {
        var memberService = Services.MemberService;
        var findMember = memberService.GetAllMembers().FirstOrDefault(x => x.GetValue("profileUrl").ToString() == profileUrl);

        var profile = new ProfileModel();

        if (findMember != null)
        {
            var typedMember = Umbraco.TypedMember(findMember.Id);
            profile.Name = findMember.Name;
            profile.Email = findMember.Email;
            profile.MemberType = memberService.GetAllRoles(findMember.Username).FirstOrDefault();
            profile.Description = findMember.GetValue("presentationText").ToString();
            profile.Youtube = findMember.GetValue("youtube").ToString();
            profile.Skype = findMember.GetValue("skype").ToString();
            profile.Twitter = findMember.GetValue("twitter").ToString();
            profile.PresentationImage = typedMember.?
        }
        else
        {
            return new HttpNotFoundResult("The member profile does not exist");
        }
        return View("Profile", profile);
    }
}

You should be able to but will require a using Umbraco.Web;

Just tried with this controller:

namespace SomethingElse
{
    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using Umbraco.Web;
    using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;

    public class UserController : SurfaceController
    {
        public ActionResult Something()
        {
            var a = Umbraco.TypedMember(2323).GetCropUrl();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Solved the problem, thanks Jeavon!

No problem :)

I am using version 7.2.2 and doing a Umbraco.TypedMember(id).GetCropUrl(cropAlias) throws a NotSupportedException. Is this a known issue?

I have the same issues trying to use image cropper property on member. In your examples I believe the customer property name of the image cropper is not defined? Does anyone have a working example retrieving an image cropper property from a member? Thnx, Simon

is working on a reply...
