Fetch Username (logged in) and other data on Non-VB Pages

[Gursimran]

Hello, I recently bought vbulletin and I am currently testing it on my localhost. The board on which I am going to install it is phpbb3.... which is installed in /forum folder. I have wordpress installed on my homepage. In phpbb3 it was easy to display login in the home page... It was a login forum when user is not logged in.....and after loggin in.... It displayed Welcome "Username" | Logout, user avatar etc etc.

I am currently using this code to display login. but it does not fetch the username and any other information after logging in.

<!-- login form -->
<form action="/vb/login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, 0)">
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=364"></script>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_username">User Name</label></td>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="User Name" onfocus="if (this.value == 'User Name') this.value = '';" /></td>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />Remember Me?</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_password">Password</label></td>
<td><input type="password" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="10" tabindex="102" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" class="button" value="Log in" tabindex="104" title="Enter your username and password in the boxes provided to login, or click the 'register' button to create a profile for yourself." accesskey="s" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
</form>
