Hello people..
This hack allows people to log-in via your homepage, it displays a login box for people who are not already signed in, and a welcome message to your members.
Also it includes,
PM Notification,
Newest member
Who is online, with member names and link to profile,
Total Members
Redirection to Non VB page after a user has signed in.
But the good thing is thier are no templates to edit or create.
I will include some screen shots below.
Note: This version is for people who have their forum on the same server as thier homepage, it will not work otherwise.
Okay any comments, problems, bugs please post them here.

i've installed this hack. i like it so far except i also get the dupe names in the online members part. that's a big deal for me cause i like clean code. i've tweaked the code a little bit elsewise, corrected some typos, etc and I'm making a separate, all inclusive file for the info i want to display.
anyway, i'll mess with the code a bit and see if i can find out why the dupe names occur but if anyone else has already done so and fixed it, a post here would be nice, might save people some time.
ok, i've messed with the code a bit and worked out some of the kinks. I have to say, while the concept is a very good one and the code is somewhat functional, it's very sloppy and the instructions are confusing and unclear in several places.
I put this code into it's own script and called it into my main page via 'include()' and kept getting header errors at random. While I'm not completely sure, I think removing the cd() and require() commands from the script itself and putting them at the top of the main page resolved this issue.
It hasn't resolved the dupe names issue though. I've commented out that section until a fix is found.
I also noted there were typos and inconsistencies in the code, particularly in the online users part of the code.
Also, in the PM part, instead of pasting an identical url in every else statement that the user has to change to configure the script correctly, the url should be inclosed in a variable at the start of the code like
Code:
$privateurl = "http://yourboard/private.php"
and have that variable placed in the rest of the code where needed requiring the user to only have to update the information once.
in fact, this could be implemented for all variables the user needs to update to configure this script to work on thier website.
overall, I think this is a good concept but poorly implemented with sloppy code and should still be considered a beta hack, not a full release.
