[Resolved] Display @mention name in activity comments meta

Hi,
So I’ve been looking for this for a little while now, and although I did find snippets of code that seemed close enough, I haven’t been able to adapt them to do what I want.

To be quite clear, I want to be able to display the name to be used to @mention a user in the activity comment meta, next to the avatar, so users can just copy and paste it to mention someone. A bit like Twitter has the @mentionname next to the display name.

Try <?php echo bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>

Thanks for you reply, but that doesn’t seem to work. It doesn’t display anything.

I find this quite tricky, actually: I’ve tried a number of variations of the same flavor, but nothing seems to work. It’s easy enough to get the display name, but the user_login or nicename is… challenging. In comments meta, at least.

If I were smarter, I could probably put the info included at the link to good use, but I am what I am…

Try this instead:

<?php echo bp_core_get_username( bp_get_activity_comment_user_id() ); ?>

That should work. The problem was my use of bp_displayed_user_id().

Yes! That’s the winner! I’m going to frame it and hang it on my wall.

Thanks a whole bunch!
