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

Use this code in your second SQL request:

Code:

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post,thread WHERE post.dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]' and thread.threadid=post.threadid and thread.forumid <> '21' and thread.forumid <> '19'");

Hiya

I'm running 2.2.6 I want to install this but I have about 5 themes/styles.

When I come to upgrade to say 2.2.7 will I have a lot of work to do?

Regards,

veedee

Hello, is it possible to put the welcome panel in the P_themeheader template of VBportal?

I would like to have the welcome panel display in P_themeheader template as will allow users to see information when the visit VBP front page and the forums.

great hack by the way

In the top bar of the panel where it says "Welcome" what code do i need to add so that when a member logs in it says
"Welcome Back,(username)".

And for a guest visitor it says "Welcome,Guest"

Hope that makes sense. :ermm:

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