Setting the existing data (if necessary)
If you are using the data managers to insert a new record into the database, you do not need to perform this step. However, if you are updating an existing record (eg, editing a post), this step is mandatory.

To set the existing data, you must call the set_existing method of the data manager object.

set_existing(&$existing)

The $existing is an array of data that is currently stored in the database. It should include all the fields this data manager handles as keys. *snip*

How you could've not checked and/or found that documentation in the first place is seriously beyond me, being the first result on google for vbulletin datamanager and all. It explains everything you could need to know and also has relevant real world examples provided too. So take your ignorant minded "well documented" attack and shove it.
