Problem with user info box

[digitalJE5U5]

I've added a user info box to the top of my forumhome. The problem Im having is that $newpm[messages] and Users Currently Online: <b>$headeronline</b> arent working. This info box is a combination of a few different hacks, so Im not sure what is wrong.

I've attached a screenshot to try and help explain my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Is it in "header" template you added the html code? Or "forumhome"?
Post the actual php code so we can have a look at it. :)

The code is in my forumhome_logoutcode template.
I have a seperate "user Info" box for forumhome_logincode template.

I allude to this template in forumhome template. Here is an excerpt:

</head>
<body>
$header
<br>
$logincode <br>

<!-- text -->

I'm not interested in the template, but the php code you added.

[digitalJE5U5]

Firstly the avatar hack. Thanks to Firefly for writing and sharing this code. For reference, Fireflys original avatar hack can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32560. On with the hack...

Open index.php (NOTE: *not* admin/index.php) and find:

#############################
$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
show_nopermission();
}
############################

and directly after it add this...

############################
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
$avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($avatarurl=='') {
$avatarurl='images/avatars/noavatar.gif';
}
$avatarimage='<a href="member.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0">';
} else {
$avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="images/avatars/guestavatar.gif" border="0"></a>';
}
############################

and

Again in index.php, find:

############################
// if user is know, then welcome
############################

and directly under it add this...

############################
$getnewthread=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE lastpost > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
############################

[TECK]

FIND:// if user is know, then welcomeBELOW, ADD:$countnewthreads = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM thread
WHERE dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]
");
$countnewposts = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM post
WHERE dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]
");
$getnewthread = number_format( $countnewthreads['total'] );
$getnewpost = number_format( $countnewposts['total'] );Then use the 2 $getnewthread and $getnewpost variables in your template.

[digitalJE5U5]

OK, but doesnt that just give me new posts and new threads since last visit? What I want, is new PMs, and total users online.

Im confused.

So post the code you have problems with then. What you posted above made me think that is your problem.
