user-macro : get details from user parameter

[Klaas Chielens]

I'm trying to make a user macro where one of the parameters is the user name. 

So I have " ## @Param User:title=User|type=username " to get this name as a parameter. Now I'd like to use this to get the full name / user profile picture / ... from this specific username. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I haven't played with this for awhile, so some of the details are hazy, but this should get you started down the right path:

## @param User:title User Name|type=username

<div class="content-wrapper">
<p>
<ac:link>
#set($userInfo = $userAccessor.getUserByName("$paramUser")) 
<ri:user ri:userkey="$userInfo.key"/>
</ac:link>
</p>
</div>

And another example of pulling user data:
