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

jeesum, I fixed it, the path in upload options used to be /admin/tmp and it worked fine but now I had to chang it to:

/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/forums/admin/tmp

it works!

Have installed the hack on v2.2.2, and works fine, but I have noticed that when I click on the link to the name of the newest member just above the welcome panel it comes up with a 404 error. I didn't notice if this happened before the hack, but this is the first hack I applied to my install.

Has anyone else noticed this? If not, any suggestions?

For those who have Custom Avatars as Files HACK installed, here is the solution to make it works with the Welcome Panel HACK: [...]

Code:

if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {

I've tested and is working great...
Welcome Panel ROCKS!

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