Auto-create topic?

hi there,

i'm looking for a hack, that can create topics on a specified time/date. i want to create the topic before and set the time when it should be posted into a forum.i hope you understand what i mean ;)

is there already any released hack?

i already tried the search, but just got this hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=80770

but this won't work and does not seem to be the hack i need.

Lee

edit: just found this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61030

but i'm not able to create my own phpfile/hack because i don't know anything about php ;)

ok i got this code from the other topic:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

require('./global.php');

require('./includes/functions_newpost.php');

$userid = 4703;

$forumid = 84;

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

$bbuserinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);

$post[title] = 'Testtopic';

$post[message] = 'Just a Test';

$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;

$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

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

?>

i put all this into a .php file and uploaded it to my webspace.
ok when i run the .php file in my browser i get a blank page, and the topic was created in forum with id 84.
ok so far it's ok ;)

but i want to change the userid,forumid,$post[title],$post[message] and $post[poststarttime] through a form in the adminpanel. so that ONLY administrators can pre-create their topics.

what's the format for the $post[poststarttime]? instead of TIMENOW i want to use a specified date and time.

thanks for help :)

Then you must create a CP file for this.

It's a UNIX Timestamp, eg. the seconds since the epoch (01.01.1970 00:00:00).

tried 1119383100 (for 06/21/05 15:45) instead of TIMENOW, but it still creates the topic instant ?!

It will always create the Thread instantly, no matter what poststarttime is set to - it will just show up to be created at this time.

If you want it to be hidden until a certain point in the future, you will have to set it to be hidden and have a cron-job to make invisible threads show up when the time has passed.

ah i though it's possible to change the poststarttime so that it will create a topic on a specified date+time ?

Andreas

No, that's certainly not possible.

Yes.

You'd basically save it in a different table and copy it to the thread table with vBCron
