I'm new at the datastore stuff myself so I know what you are going through. I did a hack for my site that uses the datastore to retrieve top poster, top thread starter, etc. The code I gave you is from that. Paul M and cheesgrits helped me get to the point of it working like it should.

Here is how I do it:

glossary_links[datastoreitem]

and it display the piece of info from the datastore I have entered into it. Here is how I set it up to add the info to the db.

$options = array(
 'arcadegames' => 1,
 'arcadecats' => 1,
 'getthreadviews' => 1,
 'topposter' => 1,
 'topposterid' => 1,
 'toppostercount' => 1,
 'topposterpercent' => 1,
 'topstarter' => 1,
 'topstarterid' => 1,
 'topstartercount' => 1,
 'topthreadspercent' => 1,
 'getfileviewsun' => 1,
 'getfileviewsid' => 1,
 'getfileviews' => 1,
 'ref2' => 1,
 'topreferrerid' => 1,
 'ref' => 1,
 'lastupdate' => 1,
);
build_datastore('statscache', serialize($options),1);

That is the install code query I run when setting up the hack. You would put glossary_links where I have statscache.

And here is the uninstall code I use:

 
DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "datastore WHERE title = 'statscache' LIMIT 1
