BuddyPress.org

Hi andrewsa,

you have to give a valid $user_id at least. I’m using this in my blog’s sidebar, have a look at http://spaces.nordblog.net/mark/ in the upper right corner.

I defined in blog theme’s functions.php:

function bp_author_info( $title, $user_id){



// Fetch some ...

// Get author's data BuddyPress style:

$author = new BP_Core_User( $user_id);



// Make output ...

echo "<!-- Status Updates -->

<h2>{$title}</h2>

<ul><li>

<span class=\"alignleft\">

<a href=\"{$author->user_url}\" title=\"Profil von {$author->fullname}\">{$author->avatar_thumb}</a>

</span>\n";

bp_activity_latest_update( $user_id); // contains echo with View link

echo "<span style=\"display: block; clear: both;\"><!-- clear --></span>

</li></ul>\\n";



}

… and inserted in sidebar.php:

if( function_exists( 'bp_author_info')){

bp_author_info( $title = "Mensch", $userid = 2 );

}
