vb.org Archive - Pulling a list via query from a custom database table

I found a few posts in similar nature to this request, but none seem to key in on what I am trying to do, or provide enough information for me to figure it out.

[EDIT] I figured it out while typing out this request. I will still post the data for others, if they need it.

I have added a new custom table to my database where i store character data. each user is allowed to create more than 1 character, and i would like to display a list of the user's characters in the postbit beneath the signature.

[EDIT] The code i am posting is rough code designed for simple functionality, feel free to edit/design as needed!

I am using the postbit_display_complete hook with the following code for the plugin:

Code:

global $vbulletin;



$vbulletin->db->hide_errors();

$wp_postbit1 = $vbulletin->db->query_read("



        SELECT char_id, char_name

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "roster

        WHERE user_id = " . $this->post['userid'] . "

        ORDER BY char_id

");

$vbulletin->db->show_errors();



$count=0;

while ($wp_postbit2 = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($wp_postbit1))

{

        $wp_postbit[$count] = array(

                'char_id' => htmlspecialchars($wp_postbit2['char_id']),

                'char_name' => htmlspecialchars($wp_postbit2['char_name']),

        );

        $count++;

}



        $templater = vB_Template::create('roster_postbit');

                $templater->register('post', $post);

                $templater->register('wp_postbit', $wp_postbit);

        $template_hook['postbit_signature_end'] .= $templater->render();

Then, in the custom 'roster_postbit' template, i put:

Code:

<br />

<fieldset>

<legend>{vb:raw post.username}'s Characters</legend>

<ul>

        <vb:each from="wp_postbit" value="postchar">

                <li style="display: inline;"><a href="roster.php?do=viewchar&amp;char={vb:raw postchar['char_id']}">{vb:raw postchar['char_name']}</a> </li>

        </vb:each>

</ul>

</fieldset>

If anyone has advice on cleaning up the code, or knows a better way of doing this, please advise. Thank you!
