Need some help with my first real from scratch vbulletin page

[JoeBOBBillyTed]

I have included the php code. I am trying just a real basic make a thread, and post up to 5 replies. I have included the php. Currently the form submitts, passes to the second page. I believe the issue is in the datamanager parts, most likely it is in the thread portion. When I submit the thread, it does return a id for the thread, however the thread doesn't show up at all.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

if($_POST)
{
$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');

//$forumid = $vbulletin->GPC['fid']; // can also be a number ;)
$forumdid= 37;

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
$threaddm->set('userid', 1);
$threaddm->set('title', 'Testtitle');
$threaddm->set('pagetext', 'a little test');
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$threaddm->set('visible', 1);
$threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$postthreadid = $threaddm->save();
unset($threaddm);

for($i=1;$i<=5;$i++)
{
$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
$poster = 'poster_' . $i;
$post = 'reply_' . $i;
$postuserid = $_POST[$poster];
$postpagetext = $_POST[$post];
if($postuserid != '')
{
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($postthreadid);
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($threadinfo['forumid']);

$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);
$postdm->set('threadid', $postthreadid);
$postdm->set('userid', $postuserid);
$postdm->set('pagetext', $postpagetext);
$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$postdm->set('visible', 1);
$postdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$postdm->save();
unset($postdm);
}
}

}

?>

Maybe start again, this tutorial is more up to date: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009)

You've put your custom PHP code all in the wrong place, it should go after it says:
// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################
:p

(What do you mean by "It doesn't show up" ? Have you browsed directly to the threads URL? Does it show up then or do you get an error?)

Also, an error could be occuring without you knowing. You need to call pre_save() on the data manager object - this checks whether or not any errors occurred. If any errors did, then an errors array would be filled:

Eg:

if(is_array($postdm->errors) && count($postdm->errors))) {

// Iterate and display to user

}
else {
$postdm->save();
}
