auto reply to a thread...

[fly]

I didnt know where to put this...

I have some code that auto closes a thread when the rating drops below a certain point. How can I make the code reply to the thread stating why it was closed?

Take a look at functions_newpost.php, especially build_new_post() and this Thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61030)

I'm not very good with code, but I can't see how to make a new post with that. I don't need a whole thread created, just the ability to reply to a thread...

take a look at my topic:

i'm working on the ability to autocreate topic. i think creating a reply shouldn't be much more difficult.

maybe the line

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

is specifing the kind of the post...thread or post. but i don't know if i'm right :)

Yes. For a post you would have to put 'post' instead, and array() must be $threadinfo.

Ahhh, I thought that *might* be the case, but I saw nothing in file about a build_new_post 'post' option thingie.

So it should read:
build_new_post('post', $foruminfo, $threadinfo, 0, $post, $errors);

Thanks guys! I'll look into this right now!

I'm guessing that I don't understand how the $threadinfo works. I thought I could just set $threadid = to the thread, but yeah Im totally clueless.
