Accessing vBulletin's thread table directly

[EEssam]

Hi,

I'm coding a script that is accessing vBulletin's thread table directly... I'm wondering what my MySQL WHERE Clause should include to exclude any post that is deleted/on pending list/or any other thing that I may be not aware of? e.g. not publicly displayed.

For now, my SQL statement looks like this:

SELECT * FROM thread WHERE visible = 1 AND forumid NOT IN(excluded forum ids)

Anything missing?

Your help Would be greatly appreciated.

you need to make sure you have forumid='id of your forum so you need to have forumid='$_GET['id']'

He's not selecting threads for a certain forum, he is getting threads from all forums except the excluded ones.

The query looks fine although you may want to think about adding a LIMIT clause to limit the number of results returned, depending on what you are doing with the data.

LOL, my bad, I misunderstood.
