[wp-hackers] Dynamic User Pages - How Does BuddyPress do it?

[Nikola Nikolov]

Well depends on what you want to list about your users.

Is the user data stored as user meta? If so, you can simply do

echo get_user_meta( $_member->ID, 'meta_key1', true ):

You can also try accessing that directly from the $_member object:

echo $_member->meta_key1;

As far as I remember WP_User was using the magical __get() method, which
dynamically loads any un-existing properties of the object.
