This thread has been very helpful, though I am having some trouble. Here is the my current code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_POST["action"] == 'add') {

  query("INSERT INTO psu_news SET author='$user[name]', title='$_POST[title]', date_added='$setting[time]', post_id='$_POST[post_id]'");

  $psu_news_id = mysql_insert_id();



  if ($_POST["create_post"] == '1' && $_POST["post_id"] == '0') {

    // vb functions

    chdir('/home/psuwww/wwwroot/site.com/forums');

    require('./global.php');

    require('./includes/functions_newpost.php');



    $userid = 5; // The user creating the thread

    $forumid = 2; // The forum where the thread is to be posted



    // forum & user info

    $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

    $bbuserinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);



    // setup the thread

    $post[title] = '[News] '.$_POST["title"].'';

    $post[message] = '[url=http://www.site.com/index.php?newsid='.$psu_news_id.']http://www.site.com/index.php?newsid='.$psu_news_id.'[/url]';

    $post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;

    $post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

    $post[emailupdate] = 9999;



    // build the thread

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



    // bome back to working dir

    chdir('/home/psuwww/wwwroot/site.com/admin');

    query("UPDATE psu_news SET post_id='$post[threadid]' WHERE id='$psu_news_id'");

  }

  echo '<hr><font size="3"><b>Post Added '.$psu_news_id.'</b><hr>';

}

The Thread title posts correctly and the Message also posts, however, $psu_news_id becomes unset. The message url in the created thread is missing the $psu_news_id and the final echo is blank.

Also, this is all done mid template on our site, and all the variables pre-defined at the top of the script are unset after this.

Any info appreciated.

i would love something like this based on

if posts on the forums in XX hours < XX then create thread

I am also having problems creating posts... here is my code:

PHP Code:


		
			
 chdir('/usr/local/www/htdocs/bbs');



// Load vB-Backend

require('./global.php');

require('/includes/functions_newpost.php');



$userid = $_POST[news_user_id]; // The user creating the thread

$forumid = 120; // The forum where the thread should be posted



// Get forum & user info

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

$bbuserinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);



// Setup the thread

$post[title] = $title;

$post[message] = $article;

$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;

$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

$post[emailupdate] = 9999;



// build the thread

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



// Errors?

if (sizeof($errors) > 0) {

  ?>There have been errors. <?=$errors?><?

  print_r($errors);

  die('errors');

}



$ThreadID = $post['threadid'];

$PostID = $post['postid'];



print ("the threadid is $ThreadID and the postid is $PostID");

And I get back these errors:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /usr/local/www/htdocs/bbs/includes/init.php on line 517

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /usr/local/www/htdocs/bbs/includes/functions.php on line 922

Any help is appreciated, kind of lost here.

Thanks!

Might be

PHP Code:


		
			
require('./includes/functions_newpost.php');

yep fixed that and i think it would have complained about not being able to find the file... still not working. Maybe something in the data I am passing to it, hmm

tried passing it vanilla test data, to no avail. I am logged into the forum and that got rid of one of the errors, but now all I get is:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /usr/local/www/htdocs/bbs/includes/init.php on line 517

I checked init.php and it is trying to merge an array it just created and $specialtemplates, which appears to not be defined. This is a dev environment, maybe we are missing some templates?

has this been released properly?

released properly? I upgraded properly if thats what you mean, to 3.0.3

i mean did i get released via the releases forum here at vb.org?
