want to make a encylopedia using current DB
 

i used to use nuke, and i have a db table with all of the encylopedia terms, i was wondering if someone could give me a kick in the right direction on how i'd get this into a nice addon..

maybe something like:

[ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ]

then they pick a letter and all of the definitions starting with that letter are displayed, they can then click on the title and presto the definition pops up!

the table layout goes as follows:

article_id,
title,
text,

any gurus out there wanting to lend a hand?

bump
anyone?

to get all the terms from the database starting with a certain letter, you could use this query:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE title LIKE '$letter%'

then loop through all rows to display the list of entries for that letter..

how can i make it look like the forum?
is there an addrow() function or somethin i can use?
i'd prefer to do it that way then create my own tables?

I did make DC Glossary a while ago but I haven't had time to pick it up again (got frustrated with having to support phrases which broke everything).

bump someone out there should know this!

Seems like you need to learn a lot more about vbulletin and coding in general before you can do this. You can't expect someone to walk you through creating a hack.

so where do i learn? :)
shouldn't i ask questions, to find the answers? I've searched the net without much help.
i've created php websites before, but asked a few simple questions, i can add dynamic tables to pages, do encryption, secured transfers ect.ect, but just not sure what functions/procedures vb gives everyone..

anyone?

In what way would this integrate with vB

?
