Hi.

I have no idea how to program vBulletin at the moment but am willing to learn.

I created the script below to run on our old phpBB board, but now want to get it to run on vBulletin so that it looks at the 'user title' and then arranges them into the order required but have no idea where to start. Thought it would be a case of just changing where the SQL is pointing, but I'm guessing not.

Existing page on phpBB is still here (http://www.hborea.us/pn2/coc.php)

Can anyone give me some pointers, suggest anything, tell me where to go (politely)?

Cheers.

vBulletin provides a system for this.

Documentation on it can be found here Impex (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex)

I ran that when I installed vBulletin.

All the database entries are there, it's just how would/could I interrogate the SQL?

From what I see in impex it doesn't import php files that I wrote for the old phpBB board. It only imports databases, or am I misunderstanding the purpose of impex?

That's kind of a lot to get into, I suggest you start in the Articles section of this forum and just rebuild the script from the ground up.
