Should I extend or bypass ThreadPost DataManager?
 
Hello,

currently I am using the ThreadPost DataManager (DM), to create new threads from external scripts. I like that concept.

Now I need to add a new field into the "thread" table, to store additional information for a new custom feature. But when I add a new field, the DM wouldn't be able to work with that newly created field (it doesn't know anything about it).

What would you suggest me to do?
  • Extend DM (I hope it is possible to check and save data in custom additional fields; I didn't find any tutorial about extending the DM - maybe I used the wrong search term?)
  • Bypass DM an use own code to save my additional data into that custom field when required

You can add fields to the DM valid list via the hook/plugin system (threaddata_start & threadfpdata_start).

Code:

$this->validfields['fieldname'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);
Set the type and other fields as required.

So you recommend to extend DM. :)
Thanks.

No, it is not extending the DM, it is just using it as designed. ;)
