Quick Question – Username variable?

Hi,

I am creating my first plugin for buddypress.

Is there a variable which is assigned the username of the person logged in.

Something like $bp_current_user or something?

I need to create a link to their profile page, so the link would be something like:

<?php echo “www.example.com/members/”.$bp_current_user.”/profiles”; ?>

Thanks so much for your help

Howdy.
```
$bp['loggedin_userid']
```
Or something else from here : /mu-plugins/bp-core.php

Never leave home without your globals. Don’t forget to declare your intentions inside of a function:
```
function myhandydandyfunction () {

global $bp; (Andy reminded us of that recently)
```
