database change for mods.

[Mad-Man]

Is there a way to change a mod from using the default vbulletin database to one of my choosing? If so, where would I begin. And when in doing that, will that be against the rules as far as the mod creator would be concerned.

I do understand that this is a very broad question and for that I do apologize. It's for a ban list and I don't want to use the default database for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you actually mean a completely different database, or just another table within the same database ?

[Mad-Man]

A completely different database, on the same server of course. We run a gaming league, and want the gaming league bans to be in this mod, not the bans from the forums.

Then you will need to change the sql in the mod to read the data from the correct table in the other database, and also select the other database first - you can use $vbulletin->db->select_db('database') for that.
