I'm looking to do something like this.

How hard is it?

If you know how to use HTML then it shouldn't be that hard.

How can I make it so that the posts are automatically approved instead of having to manually approve them?

It takes the users permissions form the forum where it's getting posted. Make sure the permissions are so that new threads and posts are not moderated.

I am getting this error:

What would I need to do to fix this?

Thanks.

Where do I edit the settings?

nvm, got it.

Hmm... yeah, I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but when you have your vbulletin settings set to show the template name in the source code it shows it on the new thread as well... here's what I get after a test:

you could see it at: http://www.simon-soft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137


also, I've installed that "Edt New Thread Button" and followed the instructions but it doesn't seem to work, is there something I'm missing?

i installed it.. now how do i make a new form ?? wtf is a hook ??

I really liked the idea of this hack so i nominated it for HOTM .. but you know what.. I really cant get this working coz i dont know what to edit and how to.. you should include a read me file so that n00b people who download it know how to use it

I know how to use it, it's pretty straight forward, but the "Edit New Thread Button" hack that goes with this hack doesn't seem to work, either that or I'm doing something wrong... plus I got that one problem with the template name showing up in the thread >_>
