Trying to fetch forumid unsuccessful

[paul41598]

So I have this php page I'm working on... a mod. I've included global.php... everything works on my mod except I'm trying to redirect back to forumdisplay after a database insertion happens.

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = "forumdisplay.php?" .$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."f=" .$foruminfo['forumid']; 


However it always says "Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" and the address bar says f= but doesnt have the ID after it...

I've also tried:
- $forum['forumid']
- $threadinfo['forumid']
- $thread['forumid']

None of which give me results. Any ideas?

Well, exactly what forumid is being passed, if any? Where do you define the forumid and what do you call it? A php page that you create doesn't 'belong' to a forum, so you need to pass the variable or define it.

i guess nothing then... I basically want it to redirect to whatever forum I was in currently.

How can I pass it?

[Lynne]

That depends. How are you going from the forum to this page? If it's by a form, you can pass it as a hidden variable in the form. If just by a link, you can pass it in the url.

I see what your saying I think... ok so I appended this to my button I'm clicking on..
&forumid=$foruminfo[forumid] and I can see the ID reflect now when u hover over the button/link.

So that part works. I'm stuck in the .php page tho. Using $vbulletin->GPC['forumid'] in the redirect doesnt work. What am I missing here...

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'add')
{
    // retrieve gpc data
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'entry_id' => TYPE_UINT, 
        'type' => TYPE_STR,
        'forumid' => TYPE_INT,
    ));


    switch ($vbulletin->GPC['type'])
    {
        case 'thread':
        {            
            if (!$vbulletin->options['vbfvs_enabled'])
            {
                print_no_permission();
            }

            $vbulletin->url = "forumdisplay.php?" .$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."f=" .    $vbulletin->GPC['forumid'];

        }
        break;

The following are the globally used variables for forumid.

PHP Code:

$threadinfo[forumid] $foruminfo[forumid] $_REQUEST['f']
