This is an odd request, but to me it seems like a legit one..
Would anyone be willing to take the time and draw up a little hack/tutorial that would do the following:
*Create a custom sql table with 2 fields: ID, REQUEST and INFOTEXT
- ID=simple counter
- REQUEST=Numerical value that allows filtering of values into result sets based on the queried value in REQUEST
- INFOTEXT=Simple text string.
*Create an admincp page that would allow the admin to add a row into the sql table (using inputs for REQUEST and INFOTEXT), as well as modify (edit/delete) existing entries.
*Extend your existing tutorial on creating vb pages by showing how to retrieve the set of records based on the $_REQUEST command; meaning, retreieve a set of records that match $_REQUEST in the REQUEST field.
*Uses 2 primary templates (can call them TEST (template displays the main table structure/header/footer) and TESTBIT (template defines appearance of each item returned in the rowset)
*Uses vbulletins multipage system - in case there are a large number of results, we want to break them up into several pages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, Im asking for someone to show me how to create an absolute minimal functioning hack for vbulletin. I will then use your work as a learning tool so I can design my OWN hacks.
I realize it may take a bit of effort for anyone who may consiter doing this for me, however, I believe the results would prove beneficial for many users who want to do simple things, but don't understand the full process.
Please and thank you in advance!
