Login/PM from non-vB page

[Ed FvC]

Is there any way to make a hack to show a login prompt on a non-vB page? If the user is logged in, I'd like it to show a small "Welcome, [user]" and have it show if there were any new PMs.

Example: http://www.geeknews.net

This is a PHP-Nuke site, but it looks how I'd like it to be.

Does anyone have advice on this?

If you click on the home button.. then bottom right it says logout.. when you log out and come back to the board you see a login area for username and password.

find that form in the templates and just copy it to wherever you want.. and I would say.. just include the global.php file and you should be set..

find out what the if ($submit) value is.. too and get that part of the script. or have it redirect to the original...


---- update

if you like the look of geeknews.. and it is phpnuke.. take a peak at www.phpportals.com ..

and the middle top part about reviews and articles.. I am going to work on.. to add as an addon eventually when I get the time.
