Ok, I'm attempting to pll info from a database (the same database my vB uses) and still be able to use vB's template system on the page. I've been able to get the template to work, just not the info from the database. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong. The system I have going on my site right now works, but when I try to combine it with vB I mess it up some how. Can someone look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong?
Also I'm attempting to have my episodes be called like this: file.php?action=episodeguide&episode=101 (101 is the number in the id row)
Template Code:
