Memberlist in Toplinks

[Mr_Running]

How do I place the member list in the toplinks (left of Settings) for logged in members

I have done some searching and try a few things and came up with this...

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
                                <li><a href="memberlist.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase member_list}</a></li>
                            </vb:if>

I have been trying to place it in the header?

...either the code is not right or I'm placing it wrong within the template.

I'm think perhaps a plugin would be better to add to the toplinks? so I don't have to worry about on the next upgrade.

How to do the plugin for member list in toplinks?

Edit: vB 4.2.2 suite
