Bulk / Batch insert of new threads / posts
 

Hi,
Has anyone automatically created threads from an external interface? We want to automatically post a new thread on a given event in a Unix environment such as an abnormally terminating script.

Is there a way of calling the newthread.php with all the correct parameters passed through from another OS?

Thanks

I presume the lack of response means that there isn't a known way of doing this. :disappointed:

Has anyone else ever wanted to do create threads / posts automatically, or is it just me? Basically we run overnight batch jobs on a Unix system, and I want to automatically initiate a thread when a batch job aborts that then gets followed up by our support staff.

Anyone have any interest in this at all?

Thanks

That nobody responded can have many reasons, a few of them could be:
- nobody else is interested (people usually only do free work, if they can use it themself also, or if they see a something that might be used by a lot of people, or if they think it is a challenge)
- Your request is more complicated then it looks, especially from a security point of view.
- Most good coders are still busy porting their work to vB3.5 or writing new vb3.5 hacks

Hmmm.. Seems that this would be similar to an RSS feed. At least work on a similar premise.
