Thank you Lisa, that rocks.

So if you want to have an author widget in a user’s blog sidebar, here’s an approach:

<?php

$userid = 2; // set user_id

$bp_status = get_usermeta( $userid, 'bp_status' ); // get_usermeta(userid,'metakey');

if( $bp_status['content'] && is_home() ){ // if there is a status set && we are on blog's home

?>

<!-- Status Updates -->

<li>

<div class="sidebarbox">

<h2>Autor</h2>

<ul>

<span class="alignleft">

<a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_userurl( $userid ) ?>"

title="Profil von <?php echo bp_core_get_user_displayname( $userid, true ) ?>">

<?php echo bp_core_get_avatar( $userid, 1 ) ?></a>

</span>

<?php echo $bp_status['content']; ?>

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

</ul>

</div>

</li>

<?php } // endif ?>

Am I really the first one who thought about this?

A “cleaner” way would be highly welcome.
