I was able to make a script that posts a new thread to a user defined forum but not able to make it post a reply to a current thread. I tried using the example in the first post and it didnt work, can someone please help with a new post to current thread.

amcd	12-24-2007 05:32 PM

PHP Code:


		
			
$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 

$timenow = TIMENOW ;
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  
$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);
$postdm->set('title', $symid);
$postdm->set('userid', $userid);
$postdm->set('pagetext', $message);
$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$postdm->set('visible', 1);
$postdm->set('dateline', $timenow);
$postdm->save();
unset($postdm);

this works.

PHP Code:


		
			
Replaced:

    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod

    if ( 

        ((

With:

    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod

    if ( ($post['visible'] == 0) AND

        ((

It does the job, but I'd like to understand why it's not working properly..

Any solution for this? I still encounter this problem when I use build_new_post function. Right now, I have to execute SQL queries to delete it from moderation table and set the visible flag to one. Any better solution?

amcd	04-12-2008 01:58 PM

build_new_post assumes that you are adding a post for the same user who is logged in. use the data manager.

Cute! flypaper, a somewhat related question to the topic at hand, creating posts . . .

. . . if editing an existing post I'd like to have a simple "check box" in the editor that would flag/include the updated post into the "New Posts" search engine for everyone to review, see. Ever seen such a hack before? Easily possible?

Great Thread, thx Rabbit

The thread's last updated time can be updated, and that would bump the thread, but it will not solve your purpose. A 10 page thread may have a post on page 4 edited, and users will be wondering why the thread is on top of the forum when the last post is 3 months ago.

Thanks amcd! Yer right, moving the post by adjusting the time is not what I would have had in mind but at least now I have a better understanding of the problem at hand . . .

If I come up with another amicable solution myself I'll certainly post it here.

hmm sorry its me again

i wonder if its possible to vote threads with this too?!

i tried this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$postdm->set('votetotal', $voted);

but recieved the standard error:
Field votetotal is not defined in $validfields in class vB_DataManager_Post in [path]/includes/class_dm.php

anyone has a clue?

edit:
extending in class_dm.php with this variable works.. no error anymore, but the voting is not transfered. do i really have to write into the DB directly? or is there a way?

This is really offtopic for this thread, but if you want to rate threads, I'd check out class_dm_threadrate.php. If you want to vote in polls, class_dm_pollvote.php probably has what you need.

Hi there,

I am trying to work out how to perform an update as opposed to an insert on the text of the first post of a thread.

I currently have the following which works fine for inserts:

PHP Code:


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

$forumid = 36; //$vbulletin->GPC['fid']; // can also be a number ;) $forumdid= 12;

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

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

$threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);

$threaddm->set('userid', 1);

$threaddm->set('title', $title);

$threaddm->set('pagetext', $body);

$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);

$threaddm->set('visible', 1);

$threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);

$threadid = $threaddm->save();

Is there a way to change this from an insert to an update, by passsing in the threadid for example?

I tried this, which generated a 503 error:

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set('threadid', $threadid);

I have spent many hours now trying to solve the humble little problem stated above with no success.

this is heartbreaking.

I tried to set the post id using this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $postid = $postdm->fetch_field('firstpostid');

    $postdm->set('postid', $postid);

didn't work

Do it with a SQL query then...

07-27-2008 03:01 AM

yeah that's exactly what I am going to do, but it seems wrong when there is an API which supposedly can do all this - but since I do not understand how it works and cannot find a working example or documentation other than the comments in the code itself it doesn;t seem likely that I am going to work it out without a miracle.

amcd	07-27-2008 05:52 AM

There is no miracle needed. The vbulletin code is very well organized and commented.

I guess there must be a way of telling the thread data manager to pre-load itself with the thread. Then change whatever you want to and tell it to save. That should do an update.

Read the data manager class in the includes directory. Or else read any of the default vb scripts which o an update, such as the edit thread function from thread tools dropdown.

Hereward

07-27-2008 12:38 PM

"well documented" ..? you gotta be joking

but I have figured it out now:
In order to force the save command to do an update instead of an insert you need to use
set_existing:

PHP Code:


		
			
$existing = array('userid' => $userid,'threadid'=>$threadid);

$threaddm->set_existing($existing);

This works (: (:

It is. You haven't seen the bad stuff. There are a huge number of scripts out there which are not even indented properly and are being sold for $400 and above.

Setting the existing data (if necessary)
If you are using the data managers to insert a new record into the database, you do not need to perform this step. However, if you are updating an existing record (eg, editing a post), this step is mandatory.

To set the existing data, you must call the set_existing method of the data manager object.

set_existing(&$existing)

The $existing is an array of data that is currently stored in the database. It should include all the fields this data manager handles as keys. *snip*

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/d...er_programming

How you could've not checked and/or found that documentation in the first place is seriously beyond me, being the first result on google for vbulletin datamanager and all. It explains everything you could need to know and also has relevant real world examples provided too. So take your ignorant minded "well documented" attack and shove it.

if you need the threadid save it with

PHP Code:


		
			
$id = $threaddm->save();

this works but how can I also set the prefix? added a prefix line returns an error

--------------- Added [DATE]1241372989[/DATE] at [TIME]1241372989[/TIME] ---------------

found it. you have to use "prefixid" & you set it to the prefix var. like this

$threaddm->set('prefixid', 'report');

I'm using this for our mod forum so alerted posts or pms have prefixes

09-01-2009 01:07 AM

I was wondering if someone could tell me what is wrong with my script. All I am trying to do is post a new message in an existing thread. When I put this script in a php page and hit it from my browser, I don't get any error, but I also don't get a message posted. I don't even see the "save returned" message in my browser. If I change some things (like the path to class_dm_threadpost), I get an error, so I know it is running something.

As for the echo not working, it seems like as soon as I put those require_once at the top of my file, I can't echo any messages anymore. But I only have those echos in there because the message isn't being posted to my thread.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

require_once('global.php'); 

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



$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 



$threadid=1565;

$forumid=5;

$symid='asdf';

$userid=2;

$message="Testing.Testing.Testing.Testing.Testing.";



$timenow = TIMENOW;

$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);



$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  

$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);

$postdm->set('title', $symid);

$postdm->set('userid', $userid);

$postdm->set('pagetext', $message);

$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);

$postdm->set('visible', 1);

$postdm->set('dateline', $timenow);

$xxx = $postdm->save();

unset($postdm);  

echo "save returned:";

echo $xxx;



?>

amcd	09-01-2009 07:28 AM

Do you have access to php.ini and/or PHP error log? Check the error log.

If echo does not work, try the PHP error_log() function. You may also find the var_export() function useful.

I have almost the same code working with vb 3.6.1. What is your version?

todd73nj

09-01-2009 01:12 PM

I am running 3.7.4 PL1.

If I start with an empty php file and just put an echo statement, I see the message when I hit the page. Anything I echo before the line that includes class_dm_threadpost.php I see output, but anything after I don't. For example:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

require_once('global.php'); 

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



echo "Hello world.";

?>

Shows nothing in the page. But

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

require_once('global.php'); 

echo "Hello world.";

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



?>

Shows "Hello world." on the page.

I am using godaddy, so I don't know how I can access the php error file. I tried using an set_error_handler as described on this page: http://us3.php.net/set-error-handler , to catch any errors, but still I got no output. It is bizarre. It is like including that class_dm_threadpost is killing everything. I have not modified any of my vbulletin files, so it should be whatever came with 3.7.4.

var_export() behaves the same way as echo. Before that require_once line it works, after it, I see nothing.

--------------- Added [DATE]1251815891[/DATE] at [TIME]1251815891[/TIME] ---------------

Doh. I figured it out. I have to include another file as well (class_dm.php). It seems like without it, something in the class_dm_threadpost was unhappy.

This works:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

require_once('global.php'); 

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

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



$threadid=1565;

$forumid=5;

$symid='asdf';

$userid=2;

$message="Testing.Testing.Testing.Testing.Testing.";



$timenow = TIMENOW;

$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);



$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 

$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  

$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);

$postdm->set('title', $symid);

$postdm->set('userid', $userid);

$postdm->set('pagetext', $message);

$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);

$postdm->set('visible', 1);

$postdm->set('dateline', $timenow);

$xxx = $postdm->save();

unset($postdm);  

echo 'save returned:';

echo $xxx;

?>

I have a slight problem.... My code is inserting the post perfectly and everything is working in that respect. The problem is that the last post field is not being updated. I know this has something to do with the timestamp, but I'm not sure why the issue is happening. I'm importing a chat transcript and putting each chat post as a forum post. The import script runs every 5 minutes and uses the chat post's timestamp as the forum post time stamp. The forum posts appear just as they were posted within the chat and the time is dead on... Even with the above code included at the end, it only updates the forum counters, it doesn't update the last post index. Now if I swap the timestamp from the actual chat post time to TIMENOW
it's updated. Anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this.

Did you try build_thread_counters?
