Add Login Box to top of page

[pifemaster]

Hello,

I have VBulletin 2.3.0 & I would like to add a "login" box to the header section on my pages. I like the looks of the Login box on the vbulletin.com site, but I can not seem to find a hack for this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you,
Robert Pfeifer

Why do you need a login box in the header of your pages? When someone logs in and is not using cookies they get the login box automatically. They should not need a login box. The box shows at the bottom of the page under forums.

On the other hand I fixed mine so it shows at the top of the page when someone is not using cookies. I just went into the forumhome template and found the following text and all in between the following:

<!-- timezone/login-->
<!-- /timezone/login-->

Then I moved it right above the following:
<!-- main -->

I hope this helps

attroll,

Thank you for the reply. You are correct, when a new user, or a user without a cookie, goes to the forum the login box does appear at the bottom of the page. The idea I had was to have this box appear at the top of the page in the header area as well as at the bottom. I figured that by having it at the top & bottom of the page, it would be easier to find.

I tied something similar to what you said. However I was only hoping to use the "login box" at the top & not add the time zone as well at the top. I added the following into my header section:

<td align="right">$logincode</td>

I also left the timezone/login code intact at the bottom of my "forumhome" template.

It didn't work!

My questions:

Do you know if I have to keep the time zone info with the login info?

Is there a problem with adding this into the "header section" under modify styles?

Can I have the box appear twice on the same page?

Thanks again for your help,
Robert Pfeifer

I use to have the login box at the top also and here is the html code I use to use:
=============================================

<form action="member.php" method="post">
<td nowrap align="right"><b>username:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;password:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp</b><br>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="f2b4f10919c50795c6f776d53abcae46">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="12">
<input type="password" class="bginput" name="password" size="12">
<input type="submit" class="bginput" value="Login!"></td>
</form>
=============================================

I hope this helps you.

I think he is referring to the login box at the top of every page. Well i believe a similar hack was released here but i couldn't locate when searching. Have a deep-dig around and you'll find it

You are correct mist. I was able to have the login box appear at the top of my forumhome page by adding the "<td align="right">$logincode</td>" code. But, I was hoping to have the ability to have box appear in the "header" on "all" pages if user was not logged in. I came up empty in my search.
