Not that I know of. You used to be able to put a tag- {exp:member:manager}- and sort of muddle through that way. But it’s not supported and in truth I wouldn’t bet on it working anymore.
There isn’t a good way I know of- other than hard coding it. The templates won’t parse php either, so you can’t use that as a workaround. The wiki has some hints on hacking to allow php. And if you’re using the forum member templates- you could do it by either allowing php or embedding the forums in the standard templates. But neither is an option with the standard member templates.
At the moment, if I had to do it, I’d consider hacking to get php working. You might also check Solspace- they have a ‘user module’ that brings a lot of the member functions into the regular templates. I haven’t tried it though, so can’t say whether it would do the trick for what you need.
All that make sense?
