I just did it as a direct PHP widget with this code:
ob_start();
global $vbulletin, $db;
//Begin User Output
$u_output='';
// If they are not a guest //
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 0)
{
$username = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
// Avatar
$avatarurl = '';
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['showavatars'] AND ($vbulletin->userinfo['avatarid'] OR ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canuseavatar']) OR $vbulletin->userinfo['adminavatar']))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');
$avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
if ($avatarurl[0]) {
$avatarurl = ((substr($news['avatarpath'], 0, 7) != 'http://' AND substr($news['avatarpath'], 0, 1) != '/') ? $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' : '') . $avatarurl[0];
} else {
$avatarurl = "images/avatars/default.jpg";
}
}
// Last Visited //

$primaryformat = $vbulletin->userinfo['field53'];
$hourformat = $vbulletin->userinfo['field54'];

Thanks for the help! Only a few more things I need to figure out to have the CMS working exactly as I want. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315994&page=3 if anyone wants to help. :3 )
