below is an overview of how I have gotten this to work myself. i tried to be as detailed as possible. if you have a 2 column site design, and your side column is on the right, this should work, if its on the left, some things from footer will need to go to header. read the code examples and it will make sense.

in header.php and footer.php, you will need to define your site layout, ive only provided up to the body tag.

FIRST, NON-VB PAGES - Login box
these pages should not be in your forum (vb) directory (would be messy)

The files you want to view (ie. index.php, about.php along those lines) should be set up as:

<? include("header.php"); ?>

Page content here

<? include("footer.php"); ?>

--------------------------------------------------
header.php:

<?
ini_set ('display_errors', '1'); //change at will
error_reporting(E_ALL); //change at will

chdir("/local/pathto/yoursite.com/board/");
require('./global.php');
chdir("../");

//require any function files your created here

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

(include the div/table elements up until the main content section)

--------------------------------------------------
footer.php:

<?
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

$loginbox = "
<div>$username</div> <div>
<a href='/board/profile.php?do=editprofile'>Edit Profile
</a> | <a href='/board/login.php?do=logout&u=" . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . "'>
Log Out</a></div>
";

} else {

$loginbox = "
<form action='/board/login.php' name='all_login' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5pa ssword)'>

<table align='center' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0'><tr>
<td>User:</td><td><input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' style='width:115px' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value=''/></td>
</tr><tr>
<td>Pass:</td><td><input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' style='width:115px' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /></td>
</tr></table>

<input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /> Remember Me<br />

<input name='submit' type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />
<input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />
<input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />
</form> ";

}
?>

(include the div/table elements that come after the main content section)
(in the column section of your div/table put the following line: )
<? echo $loginbox; ?>

</body>
</html>

-----------------------------------------------------

SECOND, VB PAGES - Login Box

in phpinclude_start (through style manager) include only the PHP code from the footer.php file above (no html), no need for the <? ?> tags either.

in your footer template put:

$loginbox

whereever you want the login box/welcome

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
