I am using Joomla as a CMS. I am using JFusion to authenticate Joomla users against vBulletin. JFusions has a module for Joomla that does pull the info needed, but it doesn't fit well into the site I'm working on.
The site is DaytonSoftball.net. Here is a screenshot:

I want the unread message count in the top right corner link. So, it would say "Messages (X New)" or similar. The module mentioned is on the left.
The VB site and Joomla site respond to separate host names, however they are using the same instance of Apache and are on the same server. (They are different virtual hosts).
When a user logs in via JFusion, it sets the cookie for both Joomla and VB. So I need to query the current user's message count.
Thanks.
