Datastore - How to display data?

[Boofo]

Here's what I use and it works perfectly.

PHP Code:

if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')
{
global $specialtemplates;
$specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, array('boofocounter','averagevelocity','topvelocity','wol_spiders'));
} 


You need the global part. Yours is for a single template also.

Oh ya, I forgot about declaring global variable. This works too for single template.

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')
{
global $specialtemplates; 
$specialtemplates[] = 'item';
}

hmm we can use this for multiple templates too I believe:

$specialtemplates[] = 'item1';
$specialtemplates[] = 'item2';
etc.

No, use the array_merge for multiple templates.

Ok. Thanks for all the info I am starting to like datastore!

Remember, the datastore is your friend.

I try to use it whenever I can. We just did a forumhome counter for my site that uses the datastore and saves on an unessessary query. It uses 1 query to update the datastore and no query to pull the info from the datstore. It works great.

Yup, I just helped a user on vB by changing his hack by storing data in datastore instead of a text file. Works great.
