using the Datamanager to read data

[budlight]

I use the Datamanager to create threads whenever I make a wordpress post, I actually use vbulletin as the comment section of my blog. What I want to do though is use the datamanager to read the first 3 posts in the thread and show them in wordpress, by adding them to wordpress's comment array. I'd rather use the datamanager as this way I won't have to configure as much about the vB database, but I don't see any functions that "read" data with the datamanager. I don't get the methodology behind that.

I'm not sure if you can use the datamanager to return data. You can write your own datamanager to retrieve the first 3 posts in the thread.
