breadcrumbs, login form and stats

[php4ever]

Well just when I thought I was real damn good with vBulletin as I built a custom template only to later discover that the clients version was the HTML version which cost me countless hours of modification. LOL, man, I was embarrassed and felt a bit retarded to say the least

With problems FULLY solved some things or should I say questions did however popup and I'd like to see if I could get some direction or help in these areas.

Now, all of these things are left or right column additions;

BreadCrumb Trail:
vBulletin.org Forum / Community Discussions / General vBulletin Discussions
As above in the board status bar I'm wanting to simply add one to a new box I've added to the right column.

Forum Stats
much like the ones in the footer of the default theme.

Top 10 Posters
Searched and searched for a very long time I'd figure there is no way I can claim an original though on this one.

Articles
I'm strongly considering adding article features and in doing so I'd want to put Last 10 or Top 10 articles in the column. Links that is.

Maybe someone can help with these if nothing more than a link to similar things remembered.

As soon as I clean up my package and PSD files I'll contribute a new Sons of SuckerFish style menu for vBulletin that took me a SPANK of time to get to work right. It works great in both standard and tabbed navigation formats now.
