Using the Database object in the postbit_display_complete hook

[dushan26]

I'm trying to select something from the database in the postbit_display_complete hook using the database object. I am able to successfully access it using the following syntax:

vB::$db->query_read_slave(...

The problem is I cannot use this syntax in vBulletin 3.7, and I want the product I am making to work in both versions. What I want to do is use:

$vbulletin->db->query_real_slave(...

However with this syntax I am getting the error, "Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in..."

I find this strange because I am able to use the $vbulletin object just fine in the newpost_process hook.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why does it have to be the same for 3.7 and 4.x? Your template syntax will most likely not be the same at all.

It would be nice if it was all one file, at the moment that is the only piece that needs to be fixed, otherwise it works in both versions.

In my vB4 mods, with that hook, I use:

$this->registry->db->query_read_slave

so perhaps that will work with both versions.
