I’m not quite sure what you are asking…judging by your thread title you’ll need this function:
bp_core_get_username( $uid )
and then you can just call the profile fields accordingly…
basically, i would like to call up one specific profile, as it is displayed on the profile page when the user is logged in, integrate it into a template, and have it visible without that user being logged in. i’m afraid my php knowledge is poor, and largely reduced to copy and pasting… so i am not sure how to proceed with your suggestion wythagy, or whether it will acconplish what i need, but i appreciate the help… if any one can offer any further suggestions it would be much appreciated.
