Assuming you have a script to put your tutorials in the database and you're using the same database for the vB and your tutorials, use this query where you are inserting your tutorial into the database (I assume you have a variable that holds the title of the tutorial - put that where you see $THREADTITLE, and put the forumid of the forum you want the thread in where you see FORUMIDHERE, and finally you'll need to put your USERID and USERNAME where you see those below):

Code:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO thread(threadid,title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,lastposter,dateline,iconid,visible,attach) VALUES (NULL,'$THREADTITLE','".time()."','FORUMIDHERE','1','0','USERNAME','USERID','USERNAME','".time()."','1','1','0')");

Then, use this query to find out which THREADID your tutorial is related to:

Code:

$threadidresult = mysql_query("SELECT threadid FROM thread WHERE title='$THREADTITLE'");

You'll need to add a column to your tutorial's table called threadid, and then do the following (replace tutorialstablename with your tutorial's table name:

Code:

$threadid = mysql_result($threadidresult,0,0);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tutorialstablename (threadid) VALUES ($threadid)");

Finally, link it all up.

Code:

$threadidlink = mysql_query("SELECT threadid FROM tutorialstablename WHERE title='$threadtitle'");
$threadid = mysql_result($threadidlink,0,0);
$reviewslink = "[<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=$threadid\"> Review / Comments </a>]";

And use $reviewslink where you need it.
