Moving the Navbar info

[AdmiralB]

On my site, I significantly modified the navbar so it only shows the breadcrumb. I wanted to move the Private Message / Last Visit info from the navbar to another template, but it wouldn't work. I tried to move the following from the navbar template to another I created:

<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="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

Does anyone know how I should set this up?

On an unrelated note, does anybody know how to retrieve the number of new posts since that user last visited?

Thanks in advance

You can get the new posts as so, its a intensive query tho, not recomended for large boards

PHP Code:

    $sql_newposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'");
    $newposts = number_format($sql_newposts['count']); 


Then use $newposts for the number of new posts in your templates. I don't recomend using that globaly, if you are going to use it restrict it to one or two pages.

Alright, I won't use it then. Any ideas on how to solve my first problem?
