Basic log-in hack

[gldtn]

Hello everyone.. I don't know if I should even call this a hack.. but all I want to do is put a customized login on TOP of my forum instead of the bottom. So I created a new template customized the way I wanted.. but now I don't know how to set a $string so I can place it anywhere on the forum I want to.. may anyone lead me to the right path? Also, where would be a good place to read to learn how to hack vB?

Thanks

Couldnt you of copied the contents of the template you made into the top of the template where you want the info to appear, For instance the HEADER template? Or is it too much code

Yes I could, but I want it to be eazy to remove later.. and I would like to know how to do this string thing.

Thanks for the reply
