    Getting name from user picker property

    Hi,

    I have a property in a doctype which uses Datatype User Picker. I am trying to get the name of the person selected on this property.

    I tried a suggestion from another topic: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/templates-partial-views-and-macros/77098-getting-username-from-user-id#comment-246470

    var member = Umbraco.TypedMember(CurrentPage.author); @member.Name

    But that did not work. On CurrentPage.author I get the user ID, but in method Umbraco.TypedMember(CurrentPage.author) I have a null result. I'm using Umbraco 7.6.4

    This is how I fixed this:

    var author = umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetUser(CurrentPage.author);

@author.Name
