1. place the login/password feature on the home (non vB) page.

Both vBindex and vBhome can do this, this is default with vBindex.

2. place polls on non vB pages.

Again avalible for both, as default for vBindex there is a tutorial for vBhome.

3. calculate the users online on the entire site, not just the vB forum pages.

vBindex displays the users online by default. Users on pages by both hacks will be counted as the number of members online.

4. have some member only pages (non vB), protected by the username and password access from vB!

By deault you have the option of choosing which user groups can access the vBindex page, its also easy with both hacks to restrict to specific groups/userids. vBindex also has a multi-page option by default.

I am using vB 2.2.7. (brand new forum!)

Both hacks should work fine with 2.2.7

To mention again what TECK said, the origional version of vBindex by el3m3nt was based on vBhome but was a more "compleate" option as it didn't require people to have to add code for other stuff into the page. vBhome was made in my understanding for users to modify more heavily to meet there specific needs, thats my understanding at least. After e3l3m3nt stoped providing major support to the hack I started to re-code parts of it and release a new version with his permission.
