Mass create new threads
Hi guys,
I'm trying to import news from a CMS into a forum with the vBulletin API.
I've created a function for my cms to create an news thread with first post:
PHP Code:
function vb_create_thread($forumid, $thread_title, $pagetext,$timestamp=0)
{
global $CFG, $vbulletin;
$timestamp = (empty($timestamp)) ? TIMENOW : $timestamp;
// create thread
$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);
$threaddm->set('userid', $CFG->vbuserid);
$threaddm->set('title', $thread_title);
$threaddm->set('pagetext', $pagetext);
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$threaddm->set('visible', 1);
$threaddm->set('dateline', $timestamp);
return $threaddm->save();
}
/*
$CFG->vbuserid = holds userid 3 for posting
*/
On the import script I use a while loop to create the news threads:
PHP Code:
while($data = $mysql->fetch_array($result))
{
$title = (empty($data['game_name'])) ? $data['category_name'] : $data['game_name'];
$pagetext = $data['news_text'];
$pagetext .= "\n\n[url=".$gamers->build_seo_link($data['news_id'],$title,$data['news_title'])."]".$title." | ".$data['news_title']."[/url]";
$pagetext .= "\n\n[B]Was ist Eure Meinung?[/B]";
#echo "2, $title | $data[news_title], $pagetext, $data[timestamp] <br />";
$threadid = vb_create_thread(2, $title.' | '.$data['news_title'], $pagetext, $data['timestamp']);
$sql = 'UPDATE news SET threadid = :threadid WHERE news_id = :news_id';
$arg_array = array('threadid' => $threadid, 'news_id' => $data['news_id']);
$mysql->query($sql, $arg_array);
}
Now the problem:
The first loop is ok, vb_create_thread return a threadid. But from the second loop until the end, I won't get any news threads!
What could it be? I tried to unset $threaddm in my function but nothing help.
Any idea?

So far I figured out it might be $floodcheck. Now I need to find out how to disable it for the api...

PHP Code:
$threaddm->set_info('skip_floodcheck', true);
