Manually adding forums in database
 

Hey, I'm working on a project where I need to manually add a forum via the database. Problem is that when I add the forum to the vb_forum table it doesn't show up in the forum list. However, if I add another forum in the adminCP afterwards both the new forum and the forum I added in the database show up. (And appear to be working just fine.)

I'm guessing that there is some table I need to be updating that I've missed. It doesn't seem to be the datastore table because if I remove the forums entry and rebuild from maintenance it still isn't there.

Anyone have some direction for me?

Thanks!

This is what vBulletin Data Managers are for! There is more to adding a user/post/thread/etc than just a single row in a table.

Okey, dokey. Have a link to get me rolling down the right path?

Thanks for the link Dismounted. This certainly looks like the way to go. However, I am having a problem implementing this solution in the MVC Framework CakePHP. The problem I am having is that no matter where I try to implement my code I get this error:

Does anyone here have any CakePHP / vBulletin integration experience, especially using Dataman?
