trouble accessing datastore

[Opserty]

First your need to fetch it from the database, you can do this by creating a new Plugin with Hook Location init_startup.

Then for the PHP code you have:

PHP Code:

// Notice the single quotes inside the double quotes
// These are required so don't remove them
$datastore_fetch[] = "'mystuff'"'; 


Then to access your data later on in the script you can use, $vbulletin->mystuff

An alternative method is just to fetch the item when you need it, using this piece of PHP:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->datastore->do_db_fetch("'mystuff'"); 


Again your data should be available through: $vbulletin->mystuff .

I prefer the first method as it means that if I'm fetching more then one thing from the datastore, they are all fetched in a single query as opposed to single queries dotted around the place.
