Using code from some other mods over past vB versions, cleaned up a little and rounded down, I created this simple OUTPUT.php file that worked fine under v3.0.x:

PHP Code:

<?

require_once('/homepages/6/d119993967/htdocs/talk/global.php');

///----------------------------------
//check usergroup of user to see if they can use PMs
//$permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
if ($enablepms==1 and $permissions['canusepm'] and $bbuserinfo['receivepm']) {
  $ignoreusers="";
  if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])!="") {
    $ignoreusers='AND fromuserid<>'.implode(' AND fromuserid<>',explode(' ', trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])));
  }
  $allpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] $ignoreusers");
  $newpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit] AND folderid=0 $ignoreusers");
  $unreadpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND messageread=0 AND folderid=0 $ignoreusers");
  if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
    echo "";
  } else {
    echo "";
  }
} else {
  $pminfo='';
}

// ########## \\__> Added from Hwulex's Welcome Hack THANKS!!!<__// ########## \\
$getnewthread=$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 > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
 
echo "Welcome: <b>$bbuserinfo[username]</b> - <a href=\"http://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/private.php\" target=\"_parent\">New Messages</a>: <b>$bbuserinfo[pmunread] ($bbuserinfo[pmtotal] Total)</b></font></center></TR></TD>
                  <TR><TD><IMG SRC=\"../../images/hr1.gif\" width=\"434\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"></TD></TR>";

} else {

echo "Welcome: <i>Please <a href=\"talk/register.php\" target=\"_parent\">REGISTER</a> to use our Forum/Review systems</i></font></center></TR></TD>
                  <TR><TD><IMG SRC=\"../../images/hr1.gif\" width=\"434\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"></TD></TR>";

}

?>

Obviously this won't work under vB3.5.0 RC3 and gives the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/forum/OUTPUT.php on line 26

Being a novice at PHP and given how confused I am with the new vB3.5 code design, can anybody help or advise me on how this program can be updated so that it functions. The correct output, when working, should be something akin to and goes on a non-vB page through SSI:

Welcome: USERNAME - New Messages: ? (? Total)
