The Function build_datastore also has a 3rd parameter which should be mentioned, as it seems all serialized data in the datastore table requires a value of 1...

PHP Code:

#######################################################
/**
* Saves the specified data into the datastore
* @param    string    The name of the datastore item to save
* @param    mixed    The data to be saved
* @param        integer 1 or 0 as to whether this value is to be automatically unserialised on retrieval
*/

function build_datastore($title = '', $data = '', $unserialize = 0) 


By setting the 3rd param to true, it's no longer necessary to run unserialize like this:
$vbulletin->dropmenu = unserialize($vbulletin->dropmenu);

There'fore we can just access the info from the datastore like this:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->dropmenu['id']
