Thanks bananalive, i'll give that a try now!

One more thing im strugging with is getting the users post count to increase after the thread has been created. The thread total increases by 1, however the users post count dosent seem to increase.

This is the current code ive got -

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php');
    require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
    require_once('./includes/class_dm_threadpost.php'); 


PHP Code:

    $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
        $threadinfo = array();
        
        $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
        $threaddm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);
        $threaddm->setr('forumid', $forumid);
        $threaddm->setr('userid', $userid);
        $threaddm->setr('pagetext', $pagetext);
        $threaddm->setr('title', $title);
        $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);
        $threaddm->set('open', $open);
        $threaddm->set('visible', $visible);
        
        $threaddm->pre_save();
        if(count($threaddm->errors) < 1)
        {
            $threadid = $threaddm->save();
            unset($threaddm);
            build_thread_counters($threaddm);
        } else {
            eval(standard_error(fetch_error($threaddm->errors, $vbphrase['forum'], $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
        }
        
        build_forum_counters($foruminfo['forumid']);  
// Update last post stuff on forumdisplay
    require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php'); 
    build_forum_counters($forumid);]]>

Try...

eval('$title = "' . $vbulletin->options['ntur_title'] . '";'); 


That worked a treat! Thank you so much!
A couple of quick questions, if someone was to use ' or " - it throws an error. Is there anyway of getting the code to ignore those characters?

Also, and I know this is cheeky, but im still learning, could you just go through what the line of code means? Ive done a little bit of digging.

The eval() function evaluates a string as PHP code.

The string must be valid PHP code and must end with semicolon.

This function returns NULL unless a return statement is called in the code string. Then the value passed to return is returned. If there is a parse error in the code string, eval() returns FALSE.

Im guessing that when I put the " and ' characters into the title line "Hello '$username', Welcome to the forum" it produced the parse error that stopped it from showing $username.

I just dont quite understand what all the various " ' are in that line of code.

Once again, thanks for your help, its really appreciated.

Managed to solve the postcount issue - had to use an SQL query. Would have prefered to have done it via the datamanager but was having no luck.

If anyone knows of how to do this via the datamanager I would be really interested for furture use.

Ive still got one issue regarding " ' in the above post if someone could help.

Thanks

Ive come across one more problem that I could really do with some help with please!

When I used the "register_addmember_complete" hook - Once a member registers it creates a thread with the title being "Welcome to the forum John"

However when I used the hook "register_activate_process" it creates the thread after the member has activated via email, however it only shows the title as "Welcome to the forum" - for some reason it dosent seem to recognise the $username in the title.

Im sorry to be such a pest!
