BuddyPress.org

[WP 3.5.2 / BP 1.8-beta1 / custom theme]

I am using the code below to display friend connections the member whose profile is being viewed:

<?php 

global $bp;

$args = array(
  'user_id'	=> $bp->displayed_user->id,
  'max'		=> '30',
  'type'		=> 'random'
);

if ( bp_has_members( $args ) ) : ?>

<ul id="members-list" class="item-list inline unstyled" role="complementary">
<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

<li><a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a></li>

<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Once I added this, I think the global $bp; slowed down my page load by quite a bit. Since we are already on a member profile page, is there any way to grab the current displayed user’s ID instead of running the global $bp?

Thanks,
Alex
