Automatic Thread Creation?

I currently use my forums as an article system, and I would love a feature whereby my users can comment on the article in another thread.

Is there an automated way to make a secondary thread created in a new forum using the title from the origional post? This way, I could add a "discuss this here" link at the bottom of my article and users can comment on it.

I'm not sure how to start this, but I have a few thoughts. If the second thread is created almost instantly afterwards, then the threadid should be +1, making it very easy to link to automatically from the origional thread (As I can add a link in the templates).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

well, just call the build_new_post function twice in newthread.php instead of just once
with different parameters of course ;)

The only instance I can see of that function is :

PHP Code:


		
			
build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $newpost, $errors);

Is that the line I need to duplicate?

Is there any way to make it post everything into forum x, and only duplicate it if the origional thread is posted in a forum with parentid z or z?

exactly thats the line :)

so take that line and after it add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == z OR $foruminfo['parentid'] == z)

{

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(x);

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $newpost, $errors); 

}

that should work i think
