vb.org Archive - View Single Post - What is the correct "method" to do what I want to do?

I'm spending so much time trying to figure this out on my own when I should just be asking the experts.

Basically, I would like to add a database system to my site. A huge collection of current information that pertains to my site which users can view/sort/add to/etc...

How should I be going about this? I have this other thread which shows what I was *trying* to do: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=121843 - basically a PHP file and new template. Couldn't figure out how to make them work together - is that the right path? Is the "hook" the thing that I'm really looking for?

Or is there some other method and I'm making it harder than it has to be?

Are there any hacks out there that I could download and look at to get a better feel for this?

I'm not coming in blind and asking all these questions - I've spent countless hours searching this site and I'm just not very effective at it yet I guess. I sure appreciate any insight. Thanks!!
