Function and query problems =(

[croft]

I searched and searched. Mayby i searched the wrong thing dont know.

Lets say if i wanna create a new page away from vbulletin like a mainsite. In that page i want to show users online last topics and stuff like that. How do i write a query to the database ? If i make a totaly new page do i have to require the mainfile or something like that. Or will it do with yust a query to the database to get the info ?

I know i can get some portals and stuff but i dont want that. And im sure you have posted about this somewhere before to. If so could you point me in the correct direction ?
Any help would be nice.

of course you can jsut run the needed queries if you connect to the DB in your new script.

the easiest way is to require the global.php so u can use the DB_site commandos
