BuddyPress.org

This is what i have in my main blog theme that works nicely.. in the wordpress header..

I just want to do the same thing on the buddy press side of things..

the above code doesnt work on the buddy press side.

I have been trying things like..

<?php echo bp_the_site_member_name(); ?>

The idea is to just alow for a quick create group button that takes dynamically adds the users username based on this url..

does that make sense??
