I was just wondering how you do a loop in vB by that i mean if you select something of the db which has more than 1 row then you can use the code belowthe problem is that will put all of it at the top rather than what you can do with normal php and echo it in the middle of a table, see below:
so basically how would i position where to stream out the results?

Regards,

oh yeah: that code is curtesy of me, livewire and bairy

It'd be best to simply create a new template and use the template to position the data you're wanting to display. There's no need to use hard-coded HTML when you don't need to .

This will start you off with the basics.


1). Create a PHP file with the following inside it.


Then create a new template in the vBulletin Admin CP under the style you will using this with and name it 'index_shell' (without the quotes) and inside it, paste the following:


Finally, create an additional template in the Admin CP and name it 'index_information' and place inside it:


Save both templates and save the above PHP file as test.php (rename it later to whatever you want). That will give you the basics of pulling the data from the templates so it can be displayed without hardcoding anything specifically. You can change the variable names as needed.

ok, thanks for that, btw you don't have to dumb everything mate :p

heh, wasn't trying to , just trying to make it as simple as possible. Someone else later own down the road could find the same information useful and not know as much, so simple usually ends up better overall .

see your point
