Moving login/welcome to HEADER??!

[Luggruff]

Hi there!
I've tried to move THIS code:

    <if condition="$show['member']">
    
<tr cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" margin="0" padding="0">
        <td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
        <div class="smallfont">
            <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
            <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
            <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
            <if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
        </div>
        </td>
        
    <else />
        
        <td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap" style="padding:0px">
            
        <!-- login form -->
        <form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_username">$vbphrase[username]</label></td>
            <td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="$vbphrase[username]" onfocus="if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = '';" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_password">$vbphrase[password]</label></td>
            <td><input type="password" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="10" tabindex="102" /></td>
            <td><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />        
        <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
        <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
        </form>
        <!-- / login form -->
            
        </td>
</tr>
        
    </if>

..to my HEADER template. The thing is, it is not showing. How come?

Not sure, but try this one:

<if condition="$show['member']">

        </td>

</table>
        
    </if>

[Luggruff]

Huh? That's the code I posted.. as you can see..

[reefland]

No, the code is different, line 3 specifically. In your code you never open the table.

[Luggruff]

Duh, sorry about that.. That was how I had the code when I tried it out, and that it was placed in a tablecolumn should not make a difference, right?
(in between a <td></td>)

[Luggruff]

Not sure, but try this one:

<if condition="$show['member']">

</table>
        
    </if>

When I place the login, pm and welcome code into my table cell i get the whole forum within that table cell (not when logged out, still it's all messed up). When removing the login, pm and welcome code, the table looks fine =\

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Why do you want to move it to your header?

Some variables are not yet available when the header template is evaluated.

[Luggruff]

Because I want it on top of everything..

[Zachery]

How does it not show, the code itself assuming the coditinal is true will show. Have you tried removing the conditional?

[Luggruff]

As written in my last post, it shows, now.. dunno why it didn't from the start.

The only thing is..

I have a table in the header, that allows one cell to be expandable (so that the script will fit there no matter the browser or font settings)
But when I insert the script into that cell, the whole forum gets moved in to that cell.. and I just can't see what in that cell is causing it =\

Is there a simpler way, to like create an own for example $navbar tag?
Tried making a new template and just writing $newtemplatename in the header, only it didn't show.
Maybe have to write something like $GLOBALS[newtemplatename] ?

[Luggruff]

Ok, now I've learned how to include just $mytemplate to the header, and not having all the code there.

Still got one tiny little problem though: I can login via the form, but it does not recognise that I'm logged in.. (the code itself, the forum does).
It just stays the same, showing the login form..

        </form>
        <!-- / login form -->
            
        </td>
        
</if>

</tr>
</table>

is it simply because it's in the header or have I messed up somewhere? :S

..I've gotta messed up, because loging in itself worked fine before.. may it be that I'm now calling the template? o_0

Is there some way to place all this on the absolute top, without going through the header (if that's the problem)

[Zachery]

IF i had to guess, $show['member'] might not be valid in the header template.

[Luggruff]

So, what should I do about that? =/

[Zachery]

First figure out if it is working there or not

Put $show['member'] into the template by itself, not in a conditional, and see if a true, 1, 0, false comes back.

[tvtalk]

on the note of the welcome message, how does one force this to stay after logging in?
