1. Go to Datatypes in the developer section and create a new datatype 2. Give it a name and set the property editor to Multinode Treepicker 3. Set the Node type to Members 4. Optionally add the Membertype aliases as a comma seperated string if you want to restrict the picker to certain member types 5. Set the minimun and maximum allowed items that can be picked. 6. Click Save 7. Add a property to your doctype that uses your newly created datatype.
Umbraco 7.2 is awesome. Search is working.
But Member picker is hard to understand how to use it, especially when you see it first time.
Especially after alphabetically sorting )) It wasn't perfect but we used to use it.
Agreed, our users are a bit perplexed about not being able to simply pick a member from the list (as the term "member picker" would suggest), they prefer the 7.1.8 and earlier implementations of that. I've shown how to use the search, but it's somewhat less intuitive.

You need to take these steps :
1. Go to Datatypes in the developer section and create a new datatype
2. Give it a name and set the property editor to Multinode Treepicker
3. Set the Node type to Members
4. Optionally add the Membertype aliases as a comma seperated string if you want to restrict the picker to certain member types
5. Set the minimun and maximum allowed items that can be picked.
6. Click Save
7. Add a property to your doctype that uses your newly created datatype.

Hi Dave,
That how it worked in 7.1.8. In 7.2 in the place where was alphabetically sorted list of players we have only groups of members.
Thanks
So you only see member groups in the picker ? Do you have screenshot ?
Dave
Please look :

Thanks
Doesn't the search box there work?
Hey Sebastiaan,
Don't know if the search box works...but that will never be a good editor experience in my opinion.
I think a workaround for this problem could be the use nuPickers.

Hi Alex,
I think a work around is to use nuPickers with the Lucene PrefetchList Picker on the internal member index.
Dave
Dave, can you show how to use it for multiple member picker ?
Some example ?
Thanks
Hi Alex,
In this comment I explain how to do it for content. The process for members should be similar. But the query can differ

Thanks, I will try.
I think this query will return all members : *:*
