Welcome Panel [Final]

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

Hello, I have two questions in regards to this WONDERFUL HACK! I got it to work properly, but:
1. how do i remove the login box from the bottom of the screen(no need for it there, considering there is one in the welcome panel).
2. my welcome panel is not the same length as my forum section(take a peak here: www.2darkpark.com/vbulletin ). I would like to get the length to equal that of the forum below it.


and last and very least(ignore this question if it is too difficult):
3. How exactly would i go about cojorning the 'whos online' to the bottom of the welcome panel(and also adding a 'whos online' gradient bar to make it look flush).

With regard to moving the bottom login code box, remove the line " <td align="right">$logincode</td> " from your forumhome template.

I got it working on 2.2.7, but the private message box is not showing up. I redid it twice, but still no PM box. Any ideas?
