Thanks im going to try this.

I don't get it? What does it auto create?

A thread.

:up: yup

Maybe very usefull. Thank you!

this is very nice idea, thanks for share :)

I still dont get it

it allows you to use the scheduled task functionality of vBulletin to create a thread automatically at specified intervals, with the settings specified in the file.

This is cool.. we have some weekly saturday events.. most of the time we post a reminder on wednesday with that saturdays' date in the thread, can I add 3 days to the date and insert it into the title? Is that as simple as +3 days?

to get a future date you would need to use the mktime function

Thank you sir.. appreciate this mod!

I've looked through all that.. can't quite figure it out. Can anyone point out the exact coding I'd have to add to show the current date + 3 days?

Thanks, php-noob.

how to add say user id is 1, or admin as user, in forum 3. I am not sure how to edit its very confusing :o

Awesome, i was looking for something that does this.

Any chance you can add support for auto creating a poll for the thread?

Ok, before I click install, I wanted to ask is we can have it post as many posts in the future as I want. For example, I have a weekly tech question that changes every week. Can I auto fill all the posts now, and just have it upload them once a week? How would I do that? Just make a few autothread.php files or something? THanks!

bump-aroo :) Any idea here? I see where to edit the one post content, but where can I tell it to post a different topic weekly?

never mind, i just have to make multiple files. It seems though I can only pick a day of the month, but not an exact date in the future, can I make this mod do that?

Hey webgod,

Could you share your scheduled task settings please?

Thanks!

This hack doesnt work for me in 3.8.4 Does it work for anyone?
