Ho to display "Status Update" only – the right way

I like the added Status Updates component in trunk. I need to display only the Status Update by it self, without the ‘clear’ button, timestamp, or update box. So I use the following code in my template (I could make a function in my bp-custom I suppose). I am wondering if there is a better -shorter- approach even though there is nothing wrong with this either:
```
<?php
global $bp;
$user_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
$status = get_usermeta( $user_id, 'bp_status' );

echo $status['content'];
?>
```
I realize it is a new component, but was wondering if there are other bleeding edge developers out there, that could elaborate?

You could do:
```
<?php

global $bp;



$status = get_usermeta( $bp->displayed_user->id, 'bp_status' );

echo $status['content'];

?>
```
That saves you one line

I am using bp 1.0.3 and there is no “Status Updates component”, when will it be available?

@korhanekinci: it is available in the trunk, which contains the latest, bleeding-edge, development version of BuddyPress. Not for use in a “real environment”, but you can download it by typing svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk in a your command line terminal (if you have Subversion installed). I believe it will be included in BuddyPress 1.1, expected release date August 17.

Thanks plrk… :p

I suppose I can’t complain over 4 lines. I just created a function for it and called it good.

I’d guess a “native” function for it will come soon.
