Custom Variable in Postbit

[evenmonkeys]

I want to make a plugin, place a variable in it, and call it in "postbit_legacy". I can't figure out the plugin hook I use. I tried "postbit_display_start" but it didn't work. It actually broke my forum.

Any direction will be appreciated.

Still trying to figure this out. -_-;

More information would be nice For example.... what is the code you are trying to use? What do you mean it broke your forum? What exactly are you trying to do/accomplish?

I made a table for a game on my forum. In that table is a score for each user. I want to display that score on the postbit. I can't figure it out.

So post the code you have written and let us see where you went wrong.

Plugin: postbit_display_start

$gameuserid = $post['userid'];
$player_sql = $vbulletin->db->query("SELECT * FROM gametable WHERE userid = '$gameuserid'");
$player = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($player_sql);
  $player_score = $player['score'];

Template: postbit_legacy

Score: $player_score

Gives this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /forums/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 86

I've always used postbit_display_complete for adding stuff to the postbit.

You may need to use $this->post instead of $post. Also, aren't you only getting one result? If so, use query_first. https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...ards_sql_query

Well, I guess what has me confused.. is that if I were to pull out everything in my plugin and change the entire thing to one line of code:

$variable = $post['userid'];

This will actually show that user's userid on each individual post. But once I throw the queries in there, it doesn't work for some reason.

How do I use the information I pull from the table if I do that? Right now, I would have something like:

$player[field]

Still getting the same error as I switch around my queries.

You probably need

global $vbulletin;

at the beginning of your code.
