Automatically creating forums
 
Is there anyway I can run a script to automatically create a forum (instead of doing it through the admin cp)? I tried adding an entry to the forum database but it seems like I might have to add another entry somewhere as it does not show up in the admin cp. Thanks.

What is it you are trying to achieve?

I have the same question. I have a set of about 10 forums that takes me an extra half hour to create every time i need to add new ones. If i can just run a query or script to make them all in one shot, it would speed things up alot.

What like having carbon copy forums that runs x amount of time. So the forums would have same premissions, same moderator, same parent catagory but diffrent name?

Tell me if this is what you are looking for

DeMiNe0 03-10-2006 01:06 AM
yes. exactly. All i would need to do is run a script and imput the names i want the forums to have,

This is becoming harder then i thought to do lol.

On topic, some command line type functions might be helpful as an alternative to the admincp at times.

why dont you just drop your query into the query box in cp or phpmyadmin ?

You could probably run a php script at command line with args as well so you would just do something like this in ssh #php newforum.php blabla and the php script as long as it had the right query would just do what you wanted.

You can just add the entries via SQL, but you will have to rebuild the forum information, easiest way is to edit a forum then save it.

Harder way would be to look for the correct datastore function to rebuild forum information.

OR - use the forum datamanager.

Datamanager i wrote to create a forum:

PHP Code:
<?php
define('THIS_SCRIPT','datamanager');
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE',true);
chdir('..'); // change directory to your forum home with global.php in it
require_once('./global.php');

if (count($_SERVER['argv']) < 3) die ("Usage: ".__FILE__." <forumname> <parentid>  [<description>]\n");

$forumdata =& datamanager_init('Forum', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 

// arguments
$forumdata->set('title', $_SERVER['argv'][1]); 
$forumdata->set('parentid', $_SERVER['argv'][2]); 
if ($_SERVER['argv'][3]) $forumdata->set('description', $_SERVER['argv'][3]); 

// your default settings
$forumdata->set('displayorder', 1); 
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'active', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowposting', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'cancontainthreads', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'moderatenewpost', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'moderatenewthread', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'moderateattach', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowbbcode', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowimages', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowhtml', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowsmilies', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowicons', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'allowratings', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'countposts', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'canhavepassword', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'indexposts', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'styleoverride', 0);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'showonforumjump', 1);  
$forumdata->set_bitfield('options', 'warnall', 0);  


// check for errors 
if (!empty($forumdata->errors)) 
{ 
    $errorlist = ''; 
    foreach ($forumdata->errors AS $index => $error) 
    { 
        $errorlist .= $error."\n"; 
    } 
         echo $errorlist;
     
    // ... additional code; $errorlist is outputted to the user 
} 
else 
{ 
    // save the data 
    
    $vbulletin->userinfo['forumid'] = $forumid = $forumdata->save(); 
echo $forumid;
}  

?>
