Well, with over 200 downloads and 32 problem free install's, I though it time to take this out of the beta hacks forum (note, there are no changes to the file in the beta forum, so no need to re-download if you already have the hack installed).

I put this together originally as a walkthrough for an admin friend, and thought someone might find it useful. Althouth technically, my contribution is a couple of simple template edits, it does contain hacks posted previously.

Like I said, it's a combination of 2 previously relesed hacks (both credited fully). One by Firefly (avatar hack) and one by MrLister (since your last visit). It combines both of these hacks into a welcome panel at the top of the BB, just like the one here and on a few other sites. I'm pretty much a newbie to vB hacking, and struggled to put this together myself (couldn't find any instructions/hacks etc), but I think I've done an OK job. Maybe this will save a few headaches to others like myself

Anyway, here's a pic to illustrate the hack/edit (or whatever it is

)

You can see a working verion of this hack here:

The Genome Collective

Thanks to Firefly and MrLister for providing the PHP hacks in this err, whatever

(BTW, if this is in the wrong forum, please (mods) feel free to move it)

Happy Christmas everyone.

here it is:

edit: updated version number to 2.2.6 because it works

There are no changes to the files - it's not a new release. Thanks. /edit

Ok I installed the hack on vb version 2.2.3, everything went fine and worked great and I really like this hack.

However I have a problem and am unsure if the upgrade to this hack did it or the upgrade to 2.2.3 did it, but somehow my "today's Birthdays" has vanished from the page.

I did both the hack and the upgrade within a couple of hours and didn't notice it before.

Has anyone else installed the Welcome Panel and had their birthdays vanish?

I had installed the today/yesterday timestamp hack, and the date where it says "you last visited" still shows the date instead of "today" or "yesterday".

I think I need to hack the index.php file. Has anyone able to fix it? If so how?

I think in the instruction he forgot to include $birthdaybits in the forumhome template. Just add it to whereever you want.

Sue, it looks like you've done the template edits properly, but you have missed out part of the hack to the index.php file. Read over the instructions again, comparing it to your hacked file and pay particular attention to that part of the hack which details the new posts.

Todays birthdays is not part of this hack. $birthdaybits is part of the forumhome_loggedinusers template, not the forumhome template and is called by $loggedinusers. It isn't changed or affected by this hack, so it stays in the default place (at least the default place for vB2.2).

Check to see if you have $loggedinusers in your forumhome template and $birthdaybits in your forumhome_loggedinusers template. This should still be intact as it isn't touched by this hack at all.
