Populate vBulletin Forum With Past Coranto News
 
I just installed vBComments and it works great. However, it only allows you to create a thread for *new* news that you post after the time that vBComments is active. Does anyone know if there is a way to force vBulletin or Coranto to create a thread for ALL news in the Coranto database? I don't want to have to go back and click the little checkbox to create a thread on thousands of news posts =\.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After messing around with this for awhile, I've found that Coranto's newsdat.txt contains a "xTHREADID" when a news item has been checked to be included into the forums, where THREADID is the corresponding thread in vBulletin. If you haven't checked a news item, it is simply "x" without an ID after it.

So, it appears I can't edit Coranto's newsdat.txt since I don't know what vBulletin's thread ID is going to be for about 30 thousand news items. But there has to be a way to somehow "turn on" vBComment's vBulletin thread creation automatically for all posts and then do a Full Rebuild in Coranto - thus forcing every single news item to be created in vBulletin. Anyone have any idea how this could be done?

Also, I noticed that if you modify a news item from the past (say last week, for example), and check the vBComment box, it creates a vBulletin thread with the current date and time instead of the date and time that the news item was actually created. Any ideas how I could force vBulletin to pull the date and time from Coranto so that all news items would be chronologically listed?

Hmm, I'm still totally stumped on this. Any ideas?

Are you willing to pay a fee? I used Coranto (NewsPro) for a long time and am very familiar with it.

That behaviour is coded into the Addon with a comment that reads as though it's been changed to current time to get round a problem - maybe vB didn't like some of the times being posted to it? Does vB accept future times (as would be provided by Coranto if the ChangeDateNew addon were used as well as vBComments)?

I'm sure it's possible but not with vB comments - that functions on Submit News/Modify News, not Build News.

Basically, you'd need a new Addon.
