If displayed_user_can then ….

I want to show a special icon next to admins and premium members names in their profile (preferably in the activity stream as well). Is there a function that checks if something is true about the displayed user, as the current_user_can function does?

e.g, I want something that does something similar to this, but it takes into account the displayed user:
<?php if(current_user_can(‘level_1’)) : ?>PREMIUM MEMBER<?php endif; ?>

Thanks!

Check out the codex here for a full list of all functions (great stuff!):

well, you could check against usermeta for example:

`global $bp;
$meta = get_usermeta( $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘member_status’ );
if( $meta == ‘premium’ )
{
//do stuff, like showing a badge
}
else
{
//show something else or do nothing
}`

doing something like this in a loop will add a lot of database calls though. also in a loop you won’t be able to use $bp->displayed_user->id.

you could also check against profile field data.

Thanks for the ideas.

I’ll try to check against some usermeta (not for the loop though…). I guess it will work for the profile pages
