You have to do an SQL query to get that info from the DB.

Er... why that ?
All user's informations are stored in the $user->data array
You only need to add (if it is not already there) template variables (maybe in page_header function to have the variables in every pages) to display them in the template

Very nice!

I keep getting mixed up with phpbb2's and phpbb3's capabilities and I forget all the nice things that are already done in phpbb3.

There isn't Xor

xor can easily be replaced by a combination of other logical expressions or by a simple != of boolean values.

xor can easily be replaced by a combination of other logical expressions

a XOR b = (a OR b) AND (NOT(a AND b))

[profpete]

Or, alternatively, you can make every logical operation by using solely NAND

[Nicholas the Italian]

a XOR b = (a OR b) AND (NOT(a AND b))

(a AND NOT b) OR (b AND NOT a)
Same thing, but more readable...

Or, alternatively, you can make every logical operation by using solely NAND

Or NOR!

I'm going to regret this... are you sure?
