Creating Plugin Error when adding query
 

I'm writing my first plugin. I got to the point where my static code needed to be ported to the database. When I added in some simple code:


This is just some test code, but it displays a white screen. No info, nothing. I'm guessing it's a 500 internal error. I have debugging on as well, with nothing be printed to screen. No logs are being created.

Does anyone have any advice?

It's probably a php error, and you have display_errors set to off. Just a guess, but you could try adding "global $vbulletin;" to the start of your code (depending on the hook you use, $vbulletin isn't always available unless you add that).

It looks to me that you aren't querying the database, normal syntax would be "SELECT whatimlookingfor FROM mytablename WHERE whatimlookingforisin" that select 1+1 isn't a query to do anything as such.

Kevin, that was it! I needed a global for connection to the database. I hope this can help someone in the future.

Thank you!

And Simon, try that query on console, you'll see it is a valid query. I was doing that to make sure it wasn't my query that was messed up.

Here is the result fyi:
