showthread // postbit : SQL Query

[Harmachis]

Hi, im trying to creat a mod but i need some help in SQL Query.

at SHOWTHREAD & POSTBIT templete i saw these codes:

$post[avatarurl] = for user's avatar url

$post[musername] = shows poster name

$post[message] = shows posted message

now i need to add this codes in my new created PHP file (mod)
but what they r referring ? referring to which SQL code ?

well, i searched in showthread.php file but found nothing like those code :rolleyes:

now, can u provide me those SQL code, maybe like $post[message] = $db->query_read(" ...... which will work for the thread i want to read (myMod.php?t=threadid)

tnx in advance:)

Did you look at the big huge query around line 989 in showthread.php?

[Harmachis]

u mean the codes under ###### SHOW THREAD IN LINEAR MODE ##### or $posts=
i tried them....i also added functions_bigthree.php & class_postbit.php in require_once

but it shows MySQL error when i tried to open the PHP file

And what is the mysql error? Just adding that code around where I mentioned is probably not enough. There is probably more code at the top of the page that also needs to get added.

In order to see the database error, you need to View Page Source and then it will be at the bottom of the page source page.

I can't provide the code because I don't know it. I have no clue what you are doing and can only guide you to pieces of code that may help you out.
