On some of my document types I'd like to have a drop-down list over users in a certain usergroup. I need it to choose a user that is responsible for the page.
In example:
"Page 1" is created by the admin and want to make an internal note, that User B is the responsible user to update this page in the future. He finds "User B" in the drop-down list and saves the page. In this way, the admin always knows which user is the responsible one.
Is this possible? Maybe with the Ultimate Picker or something like that.
I know that it's vissible who created the page, but in this case, the creator isn't always the responsible user.
There is a data-type for Userpicker. It's not set-up as default ... but if you create a new data-type called "User Picker" and select the render control to "Userpicker", add that to your doc-type ... and job done!
Is it possible to grab that datatype from the big Blog4Umbraco package, so I don't need to install the whole package? Do you know if it's just a dll-file or?
Drop-down list over users in certain Usergroup
Hi all

Hi Kim,
There is a data-type for Userpicker. It's not set-up as default ... but if you create a new data-type called "User Picker" and select the render control to "Userpicker", add that to your doc-type ... and job done!
Cheers, Lee.
Oops, no, got it wrong. It doesn't come as default, it's part of the Blog4Umbraco package. I'd forgot that I had it installed. Doh! (sorry).
Hi Lee
Is it possible to grab that datatype from the big Blog4Umbraco package, so I don't need to install the whole package? Do you know if it's just a dll-file or?

Hi Kim,
Its currently all part of the blog4umbraco package ... I've sent Per a tweet about a standalone version.
But yes, I see no problems in extracting the class and compiling it into it's own DLL/data-type. The latest source-code is here.
Let me know how it goes - if you run into any problems, then I'll have a go at compiling it later today.
Cheers, Lee.
Thanks Lee
This works perfectly :)
Have a nice weekend.
