Hi,

I have a news section on my site outside of my forums. I would like to have a "discuss this topic" link on each one of my news posts. I am trying to figure out how to appropriately automate a new thread in the mysql tables.

It is obvious enough to enter in the data into the thread and post tables, however I'm not sure if I have to insert into other tables as well, such as 'postindex', 'postparsed', 'word', etc...

Any help here or pointing me to a thread about this topic is appreaciated (I did search, but couldnt find anything).

Also, I do have one specific questions regarding the post table. What is the 'parentid' represent?
