Error with SQL, Help?

[The-Ensemble]

I have a hack that is meant to show a certain usergroups's members and it keeps giving SQL errors, first it was a table didn't exist then something else after that, I can't get it to work.

The Original SQL Query
$users = $db->query_read("
SELECT $locationfieldselect user.*, user.options
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON(userfield.userid = user.userid)
WHERE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user.usergroupid = 12
");

I'm using VB 3.6.7 if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance.

You need to post the actual error message - "something else" isn't much use. :)

Ok well here is the first one that says the table doesn't exist.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT user.*, user.options
FROM vb_user AS user
LEFT JOIN vb_userfield AS userfield ON(userfield.userid = user.userid)
WHERE vb_user.usergroupid = 12;

MySQL Error : Unknown table 'vb_user' in where clause

It should be user.usergroup = 12

Whoops that was the error message from after I tried editing it to get it to work,
here the error message from when Its using the original query.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT user.*, user.options
FROM vb_user AS user
LEFT JOIN vb_userfield AS userfield ON(userfield.userid = user.userid)
WHERE vb_user.usergroupid = 8;

Nothing has changed - the answer is the same ;

The WHERE statement should be user.usergroupid, not vb_user.usergroupid.

thats the table_prefix thingy *points to query in first*

[Paul M]

Yes, I know what it is, that's the point - you need to remove it from the where line, it's not needed. :)
