I need to add something like 400 forums to my vBulletin install.
I know I could do this manually, however this would take an age.
I believe all forum data is held in the DB so it seems feasible to create an SQL script that will batch insert forums where all added forums inherit permissions from the parent forum.
In the end I am creating something like this
Parent Forum (manually created)
- Child 1
- - Child 1 a
- - Child 1 b
- - Child 1 c
- - ....
- - Child 1 x
- Child 2
- - Child 2 a
- - Child 2 b
- - Child 2 c
- - ....
- - Child 2 x
...
...
- Child 50
You might be asking why on earth I would want to do this, well in summary this is an attempt at using vBulletin as a Wiki (more info here:
