Ciao,

i am trying to integrate an external php script with vbulletin 5, i searched the forum and web for possible solutions and i found some but i think either they were incomplete or i was not good enough to understand.

here is the code snippet from vbulletin official post.

$vbpath = '/var/www/html';

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);
require_once($vbpath . '/includes/vb5/autoloader.php');
vB5_Autoloader::register($vbpath);
vB5_Frontend_Application::init('config.php');

in my case everything works ok until the config file is loaded. the last line always greet me with the following error

<head>
<title>System Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> A System Error has occured.</h1>
<p> The software is experiencing a systems error.</p>
<p> You should attempt to repeat your last action. If this error occurs again, please contact the <a href="mailto:dbmaster@example.com">site administrator</a>.</p>


vbulletin Ver: 5.3.0

am i doing it right?

thanks!!

Enable debug mode to see the actual error.

Glad to help. But what was the error? This might help others if you mention what the error was and how you fixed it.

Ciao vergara,
it was a stupid error, i was running lampp as my test server and i was running the custom script using the local php where mysql extension was missing. debug mode told me that mysql_init() is what..:p and i quickly resolved the problem but then again things got restrained back to their normal state and everything was chaos and still it is.



$vbpath = "/var/www/html";

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);

require_once($vbpath . '/includes/vb5/autoloader.php');

vB5_Autoloader::register($vbpath);

$app = vB5_Frontend_Application::init('config.php');

$username = 'admin';

$password = 'admin123';

$api = Api_InterfaceAbstract::instance();

$loginInfo = $api->callApi('user', 'login', [$username, $password]);

$rememberThisUser = true;

vB5_Auth::setLoginCookies($loginInfo, '', $rememberThisUser);

$options = [];

$wakht = time();

$input = [
'publisheddate' =>$wakht,
'userid' => 1,
'authorname' => 'admin',
'description' => 'wonderful world but for what?',
'pagetext' => '',
'rawtext' => 'i wonder how would i get posted, he do not know how to do it.they should switch vbulletin to python..:(',
'title' => 'i will be a shining thread if!!',
'htmltitle' => 'i will be a shining thread if!!',
'parentid' => 3,
'created' => $wakht,
'lastcontent' => $wakht,
'lastcontentauthor' => 'admin',
'lastauthorid' => 1,
'hvinput'=>'',

];

$nodee = $api->callApi('content_text', 'add', [$input, $options]);


print("done?");

OutPut:


PHP Notice: Undefined index: host in /var/www/html/core/vb/request/web.php on line 272

here is the output of $logingInfo.

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => unexpected_error
[1] => Invalid value for vB_dB_Type_UInt constructor. Value must be numeric (hex notation allowed).
)

)

Did it show the error stack trace showing the file and line number where that unexpected_error is coming from?

ciao vergara,
thank you for the response,no it do not show in fact when i access the script through a browser every thing works well, the table entries are created, but it fails in terminal. do i need to set extra bits in input data? because in terminal the script fails to execute the login call and return an unexpected error.

cheers!

$vbpath = "/var/www/html";

define("CSRF_PROTECTION", false);

require_once($vbpath . "/includes/vb5/autoloader.php");

vB5_Autoloader::register($vbpath);

vB5_Frontend_Application::init("config.php");

vB::getDbAssertor()->delete("session", array("sessionhash" => vB::getCurrentSession()->get("dbsessionhash")));

$username = vB_String::htmlSpecialCharsUni("ADMIN");

$userinfo = vB::getDbAssertor()->getRow("user", array("username" => $username));

$auth = array_intersect_key($userinfo, array_flip(["userid","secret","lastvisit", "lastactivity"]));

$loginInfo = vB_User::processNewLogin($auth);

vB5_Auth::setLoginCookies($loginInfo,"",false);

$api = Api_InterfaceAbstract::instance();

$options = [];

$wakht = time();

$input = [
"publisheddate" =>$wakht,
"userid" => 1,
"authorname" => "ADMIN",
"description" => "dsdf",
"pagetext" => "",
"rawtext" => "OK OK OK OK ",
"title" => "j TEA TIME!",
"htmltitle" => "BLAAAAH BLAAH!",
"parentid" => 3,
"created" => $wakht,
"lastcontent" => $wakht,
"lastcontentauthor" => "ADMIN",
"lastauthorid" => 1,
"hvinput"=>"",

];

$nodee = $api->callApi("content_text", "add", [$input, $options]);

// for some reasons that i was not able to figure out the post is added as guest so i had to updated the node.

$changes = array(
'authorname'=> $username,
'lastcontentauthor'=> $username,
);

vB::getDbAssertor()->update('vBForum:node', $changes, array('nodeid' => $nodee));

vB_Cache::allCacheEvent("nodeChg_" .$nodee);
