Create New Thread with Non-vB Script
 
I'd like to be able to create a new thread in a specific forum using a non-vB script (though I'd be logged in). What would I need as the necessary code to insert a new post/thread into the database using vB's built-in functions?

Thanks.

You can use the vBulletin Data Managers to insert/edit thread data. Some documentation can be found in the manual, as well as from articles that exist.

Okay, thanks. I think I'm 90% there. The following code works when it's on its own page, but when I include it in the rest of my script I get the following error:
Quote:
Fatal error: Database object is not an object in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 172
Do you know why this might be happening?
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/functions_misc.php');
        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/class_dm.php');
        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

        $forumid=36;
        $vb_username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
        $body='body';
        
        global $botpermissons, $vbphrase;
        $userinfo=fetch_userinfo($vb_uid);
        $threadinfo=array(); 
        $foruminfo=fetch_foruminfo($forumid); 
        $threaddm=new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 
        $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo); 
        $threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
        $threaddm->set('userid', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('title', $name); 
        $threaddm->set('pagetext', $body);  
        $threaddm->set('open', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('visible', 1); 
        $threaddm->pre_save(); 
        $threadid = $threaddm->save(); 
        unset($threaddm);

You need to include vBulletin's global.php for the code to work. Also, you should use datamanager_init() to instantiate DMs.

myHybridcar.com 03-06-2009 04:04 PM
global.php is included earlier in the script. Interestingly, on my test page without global.php, it worked.

This time I added the following:
PHP Code:
$classtype='Thread_FirstPost';
        datamanager_init($classtype, &$vbulletin, $errtype = ERRTYPE_STANDARD, $forcefile = ''); 
and got the following error:
Quote:
Warning: require_once([path]/includes/class_dm_thread_firstpost.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 118
Why does it say "[path]" rather than the directory? (I'm not in the forums directory but can chdir() if need be.)

--------------- Added [DATE]1236372364[/DATE] at [TIME]1236372364[/TIME] ---------------

Okay, I had a little progress by changing $classtype to ThreadPost. Now I'm getting the following.

And $vbulletin exists in its form generated by global.php?

myHybridcar.com 03-08-2009 05:29 AM
Yes, the following is at the top of the script.
PHP Code:
$cwd=getcwd();
chdir ('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir ($cwd); 
and I use the following variable just fine.
PHP Code:
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] 

Dismounted 03-08-2009 10:33 AM
Paste the output of this (add it above your data manager call):
PHP Code:
print_r($vbulletin);
exit; 

myHybridcar.com 03-08-2009 04:34 PM
It's there. All 20 pages of it.

Dismounted 03-09-2009 05:06 AM
Instead of the current data manager call, try:
PHP Code:
$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost'); 

myHybridcar.com 03-09-2009 05:40 AM
No dice.

Would it matter at all that I'm defining $threaddm twice?
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/functions_misc.php');
        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/class_dm.php');
        require_once('/home/myhybrid/www/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');
        
        $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost'); 

        $forumid=36;
        $vb_username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
        $body="Comments for $vb_username\'s $year $make $model, <a href=\'/fueleconomy/view_car.php?cid=$cid\'>\"$name\"</a>.";
        
        global $vbulletin, $botpermissons, $vbphrase;
        $userinfo=fetch_userinfo($vb_uid);
        $threadinfo=array(); 
        $foruminfo=fetch_foruminfo($forumid); 
        $threaddm=new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 
        $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo); 
        $threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
        $threaddm->set('userid', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('title', $name); 
        $threaddm->set('pagetext', $body);  
        $threaddm->set('open', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1); 
        $threaddm->set('visible', 1); 
        $threaddm->pre_save(); 
        $threadid = $threaddm->save(); 
        unset($threaddm); 

Dismounted 03-09-2009 06:07 AM
Ah, I missed that. You should not instantiate the DM by yourself - datamanager_init() does this for you.

*sigh* Still can't get it working :(

Try getting rid the the by-ref operator (&) in front of $vbulletin.

myHybridcar.com 03-14-2009 04:38 AM
Tried that too.

myHybridcar.com 03-25-2009 05:24 AM
I'm still having one heluvatime trying to get this to work. I'm not the only one, either. Any other thoughts on what might be the problem?
