Greetings,
I have a script that's trying to create a new thread from a page outside vBulletin.

The error I'm getting is from global.php on line 20 when its storing $specialtemplates in bootstrap: [Notice] Undefined variable: specialtemplates

15 require('./includes/class_bootstrap.php');
16 
17 define('VB_AREA', 'Forum');
18 
19 $bootstrap = new vB_Bootstrap_Forum();
20 $bootstrap->datastore_entries = $specialtemplates;
21 $bootstrap->cache_templates = vB_Bootstrap::fetch_required_template_list(
22 	empty($_REQUEST['do']) ? '' : $_REQUEST['do'],
23 	$actiontemplates, $globaltemplates
24 );
25 
26 $bootstrap->bootstrap();

Here is the code that's calling it:
