Maybe you need this: bp_displayed_user_id().

	This function is not working for me, I put this into 'functions.php' and always it returning 0. – VicKy Amr Jul 31 '12 at 6:17
	probably the portion of code where you are using it doesn't run when a user profile is displayed; so, it makes sense the return value is 0. For istance, using that function in the homepage or in the member directory or some other page would return 0 for sure. Is this your case? – blake83 Jul 31 '12 at 8:30
	hmmm NO, I've added it to function.php, as you may aware it will be executed every time the page refreshes or loads. And the test code I,ve put as below , echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert(".bp_displayed_user_id().");</script>"; – VicKy Amr Jul 31 '12 at 9:10
	uhm, I was not talking about that...can you paste a portion of the code? Maybe that will help... – blake83 Jul 31 '12 at 9:29
