Welcome/PM's/Last Visited in Header

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'm sure that this has been asked a half dozen times but I can't find it.
How do you put the Welcome (username), pm info, You last visited, etc info in the header area, like it is here at vb.org?

Is this a hack available for download?

It's basically done through hard coding Peg...catch me on YIM and I'll give you some pointers

Hi John, believe it or not, I did on my own, lol. Didn't take any hard-coding tho, darlin.


This was my header code before I started -

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo_bg.jpg)">
<tr>
  <td align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo_left.jpg" alt="" /></td> </tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

This is my header code now (The code in red, including div tags, is what I added) -

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo_bg.jpg)">
<tr>
  <td align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/logo_left.jpg" alt="" /></td> <td align="left" valign="middle"><if condition="$show['member']">
<div class="smallfont">
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
     <if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
    </div>
   <else />
    <!-- login form -->
    <form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" align="center">
    <tr>
     <td class="smallfont" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="navbar_username">$vbphrase[username]:</label></td>
     <td><input type="text" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="12" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="$vbphrase[username]" onfocus="if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = '';" class="textfield" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="smallfont" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="navbar_password">$vbphrase[password]:</label></td>
     <td><input type="password" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="12" tabindex="102" class="textfield" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td colspan="2" class="smallfont" align="center"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label> &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" class="textfield" /></td>
    <tr>
    </table>
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />  
    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
    </form>
    <!-- / login form -->
   </if>
</td> 
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->
