Hi all,

I need to get the user ID of the profile being viewed. How can I achieve this on the bbpress profile page?

Thanks!

`bbp_get_user_id( 0, true, false );`

Excellent!!! Thank you 🙂

There seems to be a bug with this function: it returns 0 for a new user who hasn’t made a forum post yet. As soon as the user does make a post, it returns the correct ID. Is there any way to work around that, maybe initialize the user with a function call?

How do you use this mike? I may want to print a gallery of each user in their profile, but i cant figure out how to do this. By now, this works:

global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
echo do_shortcode(‘[nggtags gallery=’. $current_user->user_login .’]’);

but prints out the logged in user gallery, not the user of the profile page, any clue? I use tags to make the galleries for each user, I only need the name of the user profile, printed in the shortcode, 🙂 Thank you guys in advance, maybe this helps you too Mike.. gl
