auto-creating a forum?

Does anyone know of a way of auto-creating a forum, other than a normal mySQL command? Looking for the vB function, if it exists.

AFAIK there is none.

A draft code could be (not tested)

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');

require_once('./includes/adminfunctions_forums.php');

$forum = array(

        'parentid' => $parentid,

        'title' => 'Some foobar title',

        'description' => 'Some foobar description'

);

$parentlist = fetch_forum_parentlist($forum['parentid']);

$DB_site->query(fetch_query_sql($forum, 'forum'));



$forumid = $DB_site->insert_id();

$DB_site->query("

        UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum

        SET parentlist='" . addslashes("$forumid,$parentlist") . "',

        childlist = '$forumid,-1'

        WHERE forumid = $forumid

");



build_forum_permissions();

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query(fetch_query_sql($forum, 'forum'));

that's the important part ;)

This is interesting...

Code:

function fetch_forum_parentlist($forumid)

{

global $DB_site;



if ($forumid == -1)

{

        return '-1';

}



$foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT parentid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum WHERE forumid = $forumid");



$forumarray = $forumid;



if ($foruminfo['parentid'] != 0)

{

        $forumarray .= ',' . fetch_forum_parent_list($foruminfo['parentid']);

}



if (substr($forumarray, -2) != -1)

{

        $forumarray .= '-1';

}



        return $forumarray;

}

Look at this snippet of that function:

Code:

        if ($foruminfo['parentid'] != 0)

{

        $forumarray .= ',' . fetch_forum_parent_list($foruminfo['parentid']);

}

fetch_forum_parentlist is the name of the function, but it refers to fetch_forum_parent_list ... that function doesn't exist, yet the admin section sub-forum thing works just fine from the admin CP. I'm using RC3, can anyone confirm if this was a bug intro'd in RC3, or was it fixed in RC4?

It does exist - in functions.php. Doh! ;)

Well, I got it to work, except that Display Order = 0 and every setting except for Apply This Password to Child Forums is set to 0. This setup is not the default. If I'm reading it correct, build_forum_permissions(); is supposed to use the defaults? I'd like for it to use the defaults of the site, or the forum it is a sub-forum of. Here's the code so far:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./global.php'); 

require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php'); 

require_once('./includes/adminfunctions_forums.php'); 

require_once('./includes/adminfunctions.php');



$foruminfo = array( 

        'parentid' => 10, 

        'title' => 'Some foobar title', 

        'description' => 'Some foobar description' 

); 



$parentlist = fetch_forum_parentlist($foruminfo['parentid']); 

$DB_site->query(fetch_query_sql($foruminfo, 'forum')); 



$forumid = $DB_site->insert_id(); 

$DB_site->query(" 

        UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum 

        SET parentlist='" . addslashes("$forumid,$parentlist") . "', 

        childlist = '$forumid,-1' 

        WHERE forumid = $forumid 

"); 



build_forum_permissions();

Is build_forum_permissions(); is supposed to use the forum defaults?

:( No one knows? I'm about to update to RC4 to see if they've put in any comments for this function, crossing my fingers for the moment, unless someone else knows.

Update: Nope, RC4 didn't help :(

Blatant BUMP...... If I can get this auto forum script to work, I can finally put the pieces of my site together.... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

Yes, I'm desperate enough to whine :)

Anyone ever figure this out? I keep getting this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: SELECT parentid FROM forum WHERE forumid =
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

I'm using the same exact code.
