PHP make thread

Hi, I've made this today:

http://spawnscape614.co.uk/forums/reportuser.php

And I'm looking to taking these inputs and then make a thread based off this information. I'll obviously validate it so that you must be logged in to see to use the form although , via the SEND button which you see what's the most basic method for this? I've seen the function on VB where you can automatically make a thread when a user reports a thread; so I only assume that it would be similar?

One of my products auto-creates a thread, and here is the code that actually handles creating the thread:

PHP Code:


		
			
                // Create the report thread.



                // Temporarily override the maximum characters that can be included in a post.

                $maxchars = $vbulletin->options['postmaxchars'];

                $vbulletin->options['postmaxchars'] = 0;



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

                $reportforuminfo = fetch_foruminfo($mforumid);

                $reportthreadinfo = array();

                $mpostip = "";

                $mallowsmilie = '1';

                $mvisible = 1;

                $showsig = 1;

                $mthread->set_info('forum',    $reportforuminfo);

                $mthread->set_info('thread',   $reportthreadinfo);

                $mthread->set_info('skip_floodcheck', true);

                $mthread->setr('forumid',      $mforumid);

                $mthread->setr('userid',       $muserid );

                $mthread->setr('pagetext',     $report);

                if ($vbulletin->options['markfl_report_prefixes_enabled'])

                {

                    $mthread->set('prefixid',      'reportthread_unsolved');

                }

                $mthread->setr('title',        $title);

                $mthread->set('allowsmilie',   $mallowsmilie);

                $mthread->set('visible',       $mvisible);

                $mthread->set('ipaddress',     $mpostip);

                $mthread->set('showsignature', $showsig);

                $mthread->pre_save();

                if (count($mthread->errors) < 1)

                {

                    $threadid = $mthread->save();

                    unset($mthread);

                    build_thread_counters($mthread);

                }

                else 

                {

                    print "Error making new thread! " . $mthread->errors[0] . $mthread->errors[1] . $mthread->errors[2] ;

                }

                build_forum_counters($forumid);



                //Restore setting for maximum characters allowed in posts.

                $vbulletin->options['postmaxchars'] = $maxchars;

Thanks! Could you help me with configure this. I've pmed you.

I failed to mention before that you will need this line before using the data manager:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');

Can you post all of your code so far and I may be able to give you some pointers. :D

Duckface

Hiya

So far: (relevant part)

PHP Code:

Okay, aside from the file you need to require that I posted in #4, it looks to me that you will need to pass the forum and thread information to your sendReport function. Also, you will need to initialize many of the variables being used. You don't need the if block regarding the thread prefix.

It appears you get a username from the form, so you will have to query the user table to get the corresponding userid. Any data needed by the function will either have to be global or passed as parameters (which I recommend).

Okay...who will be the author of the auto-created thread?

Duckface

07-10-2015 02:41 PM

^^ the user logged into the forums. I'll make it so the user must be logged in.

So what exactly is the function that sends a request to make a thread?

MarkFL

07-10-2015 02:46 PM

Well, you can use the datamanager (as I did) or you can write directly to the "thread" table to insert a new row. In either case you still want to update the counters.

I tried your script and I got an error.

I tried using this:

PHP Code:


		
			
session_start();
$formErr = "";
$username = $when = $where = $offence = "";

            if (isset($_GET['submit'])) {
                if (empty($_GET["username"]) || empty($_GET["when"]) || empty($_GET["where"]) || empty($_GET["offence"])) {
                    $formErr = "<br>You have not completed the entire form - everything must be completed! (*)";
                } else {
                    $username = $_GET["username"];
                    $when = $_GET["when"];
                    $where = $_GET["where"];
                    //after variables retrieved for inputs:
                    sendReport();
                }
            }
            
        function sendReport() {
            require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');             
            $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');

            $forumid = 33;//$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', 19);
            $threaddm->set('title', 'PHP MAKE THREAD TEST');
            $threaddm->set('pagetext', 'PHP MAKE THREAD TEST');
            $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
            $threaddm->set('visible', 1);
            $threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
            $threaddm->save(); 
        }

And still an error.

MarkFL

07-10-2015 03:01 PM

You need to pass parameters to the function...for starters, try passing $foruminfo to the function...

Duckface

07-10-2015 03:15 PM

Ok I tried without a function and purely tried on the else statement:

PHP Code:


		
			
            if (isset($_GET['submit'])) {
                if (empty($_GET["username"]) || empty($_GET["when"]) || empty($_GET["where"]) || empty($_GET["offence"])) {
                    $formErr = "<br>You have not completed the entire form - everything must be completed! (*)";
                } else {
                    $username = $_GET["username"];
                    $when = $_GET["when"];
                    $where = $_GET["where"];
                    $forumid = "33";
                    $threadinfo = array();
                    $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
                    $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
                    $threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
                    $threaddm->set('userid', "1");
                    $threaddm->set('pagetext', 'textul meu');
                    $threaddm->set('title', 'titlul meu');
                    $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', '1');
                    $threaddm->set('visible', '1');
                    $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
                    $threadid = $threaddm->save();
                    build_forum_counters($forumid);                    
                }
            }

And still receiving a blank page (assuming error).

You need the required file for the datamanager, but you should have gotten an explicitly stated error.

Duckface

07-10-2015 06:05 PM

SOLVED.

MarkFL

Perhaps try $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']...:D

Ah thanks that worked.

I'm trying to get strings on the same line as a string and it's not working...

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set('title', 'CASE: ',$username, ' - ', $offence);

MarkFL

07-10-2015 07:07 PM

In PHP you add strings with a period, so use:

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set('title', 'CASE: ' . $username . ' - ' . $offence);

Duckface

07-10-2015 07:11 PM

Ahh, it's in some ways similar to java so I forget. Thank you.

MarkFL

07-10-2015 07:14 PM

Yeah, that threw me for a loop not that long ago...:D

How do you break a string to put it on two lines? So

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set('pagetext', 'Username Reporting: ' . $username); //THEN ADD SOMETHING TO THE NEXT LINE

MarkFL

07-10-2015 07:19 PM

What I suggest doing for clarity, is to build all of your strings first and then set the values.

Hmm. Good tip.

I've tried using /n and /r but:

I misunderstood what you were wanting to do...try something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
$pagetext = $line1 . PHP_EOL . $line2 . PHP_EOL . $line3

The constant "PHP_EOL" (End Of Line) is cross-platform compatible too.

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set('parseurl', '1');

I tried that to ensure that the links are parsed; but it isn't finding that method.

What's the method name for parsing the links?

Duckface

07-14-2015 06:03 PM

How do I make the thread automatically parse the links?

I've tried:

PHP Code:


		
			
//$threaddm->set('parselinks', true);        //Not working

And it doesn't work :/.

kh99	07-14-2015 06:14 PM

I think it might be:

PHP Code:


		
			
$threaddm->set_info('parseurl', true);

ETA: And I think you might need to do that before pagetext is set.

I have this plugin my forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240772

I have already put the section id into the block from seeing in chatbox section. Altough because it's sending a thread via the php file; it's being displayed in the chatbox.

I found this within the XML file:

Code:

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title>VSA New Thread</title>

                        <hookname>threadfpdata_postsave</hookname>

if ($vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_enable_product'] AND $vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_enable_threadplugin'])

{

if (trim($vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_blockedforums']) != '')

{

$vsaforumids = preg_split('#\s+#s', $vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_blockedforums'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

} else { $vsaforumids = Array('0'); }

if (!in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], $vsaforumids)) { 

$username = $vbulletin->db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username']);

if ($username == Unregistered) {

$username = $vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_rsspost'];

}

$usergroup = $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'];

$usernamecolor = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT opentag FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup WHERE usergroupid = ". $usergroup . "");

$usernameopen = $usernamecolor['opentag'];

preg_match("#<span[^style|>]?style=['|\"]?[^color:]color:[\s+]?(.*?)[;]?['|\"]?['|\"]?>#",$usernameopen,$newcolor);

if ($newcolor[1] == '')

{

$newcolor[1] = $vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_useridcolor'];

}

$message = '[color=' .$newcolor[1]. ']' . $username . '[/color][color=' .$vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_threadcolor']. '] has posted the thread[/color] [thread=' . $this->thread['threadid'] . ']'  . $titleprefix . unhtmlspecialchars($this->thread['title']) . $titlesuffix . '[/thread]';

$message = str_replace("'", "", $message);



                    $vbulletin->db->query_write(" 

                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox 

                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)

                        VALUES ('".$vbulletin->options['vsaaddon_userid']."', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$message."', ".TIMENOW.", '') 

                    ");

}

}]]></phpcode>

                </plugin>

I'm wondering whether I could add something that will block the notification from displaying on the chatbox.
