Displaying Array information to the screen
 

Hello,

I am in the process of creating some custom functionality for a vB 3.6.8 board that allows the users to view custom data on the screen. I am struggling to get the data from the array to the screen. How would I do this?

Basically I have an Array with custom information in it. I would like to display it out to the screen as a hyper links. The user would click on one of the links and would be taken to another page, displaying other data based on that selection.

I would like the data to be printed to the screen in a similar fashion as the "standard" forum display.

Any advice would be awesome, thanks!

Can you give an example of the contents of this array?

:o sorry...I was a little under the weather when I posted this yesterday...I meant to discuss more...


Basically the Array contains certain user groups. I would like to display the user groups to the screen as a link.

The user will then click on the User Group they want to see, and then I will display all posts from users in that user group.

So really, the "User Group" Array only contains the list of User Groups, which I need to display as a link.

Thanks!

ok,

So I've tried some stuff, still with no luck.

To grow what I am trying to do:

Add a link to the Navbar, which is available at all times (done and working)

That link will take you to a page listing a certain selection of user groups, marked so by the admin during User Group Creation.

I created the bitfield and updated the Usergroup DB table. That is good.

I created the template for the Usergroup display page. I also created the the "usergroupdisplay.php" page. I verified that the template was called correctly from the php and life was good (Thanks to Gary King for his Tutorial!)

I created a result set containing the results of the sql against the database. I have a while loop circling through the result and reading the array as shown below:

So that is where I am at. What I want is to create a page that plays something like this:

User Group Description
user group 1 User Group 1 is neat!
user group 2 User Group 2 likes cheese!
user group 3 User Group 3 is a unique group for people dress like ninjas!

I want the underlined user groups to link to another page that displays all posts from all users in that group. I am hopping that the link would look something like this:

I don't need someone to show me how to do everything exactly, I am just looking for someone to give me some direction in how I should make the group display happen.

I've searched through the forums and the vB manual, but I've not found anything. I guess I don't know what I am looking for!

Any help would be awesome! Thanks guys!
