Like the webmasters have done here, I want to put a table cell on my site which contains the user's info about his vB account, as well as the last 5 posts. I know how to get the last five posts, but how do i get the user's info?

Easy.

As long as you have called global.php, all that info is available to you.

$bbuserinfo[musername]
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] etc etc.

Probably better to make a template then serve the page as a VB page.

------------------------------------

First, create a PHP page

PHP Code:


			
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'your_page_name'); // change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array(



);



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array(

    

);



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array(

    'your_template_name',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array(



);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('/path/to/your/forums/global.php');





// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = array();

$navbits[$parent] = 'Page Name For NavBar';



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('your_template_name') . '");');



  

?>

Then upload it where its needed. (root dir to make things simple)

then in your AdminCP, in the Style Manager - create a new Template

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<YOUR CONTENT HERE>

$footer
</body>
</html>

Be sure to keep your names matching (template name in your PHP file refers to the new template you just made - so keep the name the same)

And then, furthermore, you can easily add the 'Who's Online' data to you includes/functions_online.php file so you dont get the 'Unknown Location' in the WOL.

BTW - this is based on a VB 3.0.8 installation (just realised the initial post date - oops)

or you could always just use vbadvanced, that pretty much has all the tables you'll need.

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