Remove User Login info from above menu

[araouf]

Hi everyone,

In my forum, I would like to remove the box containing the message  "Hey, username, you dont have any messages...". I would like that box to show up for guests (where it asks for the login info) but not for logged in members. Is there any way to remove it within the settings, or do I have to comment out some code in the template file? I also want to remove the search box next to it. I managed to remove the search bar cleanly by removing some code in index.template.php.  When I try to remove that user info box, I cannot seem to do it cleanly as there will remain a rectangle with the background color. Before I start really changing a lot of the template, I would like to know if there is an easy way to do it.

Any help would be appreciated. The site is a Mambo/SMF integration.

What you will see now at the site is how it is normally without my attempted fixes.

Can anyone help with this? Here is the link to the forum:

Very nice design .. well done.
You have already done some good stuff integrating the forum to your site. In the original index.template.php find:

<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />

echo '

I basically removed all logged in members info and restrict the box to be shown only to guest.

Perfect, thanks A.M.A. It would be great in the future to see this as an option in the forum settings. Where you can control whether or not that box displays.
