Try using is_user_logged_in() and/or bp_loggedin_user_avatar()
Hey Thanks, the is_user_logged_in() detected the logged in state, and the bp_loggedin_user_avatar() displayed the image. Now I need to be able to print out the Username, as well as be able to print out a URL to their Profile page (so I can link the image to their profile.)
Where is a list of functions I can use in BuddyPress?
Thanks
Here’s how I do it:
Print out the Username:
echo bp_get_loggedin_user_fullname()
There is also a related function that avoids the need to ‘echo’ that function. Search your bp files for this function and it’s immediately above or below that one.
Print out a URL to their Profile page:
echo bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id() )
Although I think that gives you a hyperlinked userlink – if you review that function you should be able to figure out a way to output the raw url, if that’s what you are looking for.
Thanks 3sixty, that worked perfect, and I found the code to find a users profile URL here is my full code:
<div class=”userAvatar”>“><?php bp_loggedin_user_avatar(‘width=50&height=50’) ?></div> Welcome Back, <b>“><?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_fullname() ?></b>
Where exactly do I go to find the BP Functions?
I looked here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-discussions/buddypress-template-tags/
but alot of the functions don’t work.
I’d recommend downloading BP 1.2.3 and doing a local search on the files, especially if you plan on doing any more customization – this will save you a lot of time.
That said, bp-core-templatetags.php probably has most of the functions related to this…
