Miscellaneous Hacks - Alternative Header User Info

Step One...

Open header template...

Find this...

<ul class="isuser">
				<li>{vb:rawphrase welcome_x_link_y, {vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}, {vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}}</li>
				<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
				<li class="popupmenu notifications" id="notifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}: <span class="notifications-number"><strong>{vb:raw notifications_total}</strong></span></a>
					<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
						{vb:raw notifications_menubits}
					</ul>
				</li>
				<vb:else />
				<li class="popupmenu nonotifications" id="nonotifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}</a>
					<div class="popupbody popuphover">
						<p>{vb:rawphrase no_new_messages}</p>
						<p><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></p>
					</div>
				</li>
				</vb:if>
				<li><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></li>
				<li><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase control_panel}</a></li>
				<vb:if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
				<li><a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase register}</a></li>
				</vb:if>				
				<li><a href="login.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=logout&amp;logouthash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.logouthash}" onclick="return log_out('{vb:rawphrase sure_you_want_to_log_out}')">{vb:rawphrase log_out}</a></li>
			</ul>

Replace with this...

<ul class="isuser">
				<li>Welcome,</li>
				<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
				<li class="popupmenu nonotifications" id="nonotifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" style="color: #ffffff;">{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}</a>
					<div class="popupbody popuphover">
<p>{vb:raw notifications_menubits}</li>
<p><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></p>
<p><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase control_panel}</a></p>
<p><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></p>
<p><a href="login.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=logout&amp;logouthash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.logouthash}" onclick="return log_out('{vb:rawphrase sure_you_want_to_log_out}')">{vb:rawphrase log_out}</a></p>
				</div>
				</li>
				<vb:else />
				<li class="popupmenu nonotifications" id="nonotifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" style="color: #ffffff;">{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}</a>
					<div class="popupbody popuphover">
<p><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></p>
<p><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase control_panel}</a></p>
<p><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></p>
<p><a href="login.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=logout&amp;logouthash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.logouthash}" onclick="return log_out('{vb:rawphrase sure_you_want_to_log_out}')">{vb:rawphrase log_out}</a></p>
					</div>
				</li>
				</vb:if>
				<vb:if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
				<li><a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow" style="color: #fff;">{vb:rawphrase register}</a></li>
				</vb:if>				
			</ul>

Now open navbar_notifications_menubit

Find This

<li><a href="{vb:raw notification.link}"><span>{vb:raw notification.total}</span> {vb:raw notification.phrase}</a></li>

Replace with This

<a href="{vb:raw notification.link}">Unread Messages (<strong>{vb:raw notification.total}</strong>)</a>

And thats it, you are done.

Look at the screenshot for example

Looking good you guys. Kinda reminds me of the 3.x series login/notifications box with an updated clean look.

This is something that may be an interest to me when the avatar ordeal is sorted.

[ViciousCode]

well my design has the avatar working

[Charlie98902]

So the resulting code includes the pic in post #10?

[ViciousCode]

yes it does, it will show your current avatar next to your name

im adding some finishing touches and will release it soon.

[Charlie98902]

Thanks as this might be one of the best mods yet.

[ViciousCode]
