Simple plugin code help.

[rob30UK]

I have a plugin question.

I need to create a plugin to fill a variable from the database.

I added an extra field called resource_url to the forums MySQL table. For the mod I'm doing, each forum has a resource url associated with it

I need a plugin (I'm told on the on hook: forumdisplay_complete) to pull out the data from that database field and put it in a variable, so i can use it in templates.

That is my main requirement.

If there was also a way I could populate the field using the forum manager then that would be Excellent.... but I can live with editing the DB directly if need be.

Thankyou for any help!
