Can write to datastore, but not retrieve.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

How does that answer my question??

It does not matter what you do with it, but serializing is an array operation, not a string operation.

I understand. I'm just telling you what I think he is trying to do, not what is the right way to do it.

hi, ok I didnt know what serialize was for arrays or not... either way I tried it without serialize.

Please try and reproduce this:-

try this as a cron file:-

$kwdStr="I will not show at the end of every post!";
build_datastore('glossary_links', $kwdStr);

Then try this as a plugin on postbit_display_complete

$this->post['message'] .= $vbulletin->glossary_links;

By rights, that code SHOULD work!

I tried swopping the plugin for this code

if (method_exists($vbulletin->datastore,'do_fetch'))
 { // Datastore extension exists, use it
  $vbulletin->datastore->do_fetch('glossary_links',$errors);
  if ($errors[0])
  { // Fetch failed, use original datastore
   $vbulletin->datastore->do_db_fetch("'glossary_links'");
  }
 }
 else
 { // No extension, use original datastore
  $vbulletin->datastore->do_db_fetch("'glossary_links'");
 }
 $glossary_links = $vbulletin->glossary_links;
$this->post['message'] .= $glossary_links;

That makes much more sense to me and was optimistic that that would work...
but still nothing.

Does anyone know why this isnt working and importantly how to fix it?
