Welcome Panel w/ChatBox Lite v1.0

About "Welcome Panel w/ChatBox Lite" Mod
This is a VERY simple mod. This mod is used to display general forum statistics under the $navbar (navbar template) on the forum's index.php (FORUMHOME). Such information is the Chatbox Lite iframe input, forum posts/threads/member/active members/new member, quick style chooser, users online, today's birthdays, and today's events. While offering the information, it also allows the user to take advantage of one of vB3's great features, collapsing (this feature will be worked on for future releases)! I made this for my forum, and have decided to distribute it.

Installation Guide
The installation is VERY easy, you just copy and paste the bulk code below the $navbar variable on the FORUMHOME template!

Place the following code under the $navbar on FORUMHOME template:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
<else />
<!-- Welcome Panel -->

And your done!

Future Release Plans
- Add An Optional Quick Links Sector*
- Work more with the collapsing function**
- Add suggestions by current users

*This is an optional upcoming feature to help reduce clutter of the vBulletin "navbar" template, by allowing links to other mods, etc, be placed there instead. This is good for FORUMHOME, as in, the links will of course not display outside of FORUMHOME.
** At the moment, the main collapser only hides all but the User Online, Birthday, and Events sectors, which will still be visible and collapsable. Future ideas suggest to have the main collapser hide the whole Welcome Panel.

THIS IS USED AND WAS TESTED ON vBULLETIN 3.5.3, BUT SHOULD WORK ON ALL VERSIONS IN THE 3.5 SERIES (MIGHT ALSO WORK ON THE 3.0 SERIES). PLEASE USE THIS THREAD FOR SUPPORT, AS THIS MOD IS SUPPORTED BY THE AUTHOR
