I have a Q

can we use the vb post class / data manager to store the posts in different table other the the default table Posts ?
If yes can you please explain ?

you could "inherit" the class i think

[Ranma2k]

That is the code to create a post in an existing thread.

I am struggling to get my mind wrapped around the datamanager - if i want code to create a new thread is it the vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost I am looking for?

Any decent examples of using the DM?

There is no such thread anymore. I am needing to do this as well.

I'll try to write one up this weekend then, if no one else does. Dunno why it got removed...

I would need that too, thanks.

with this code:

PHP Code:

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');

$forumid = $vbulletin->GPC['fid']; // can also be a number ;) $forumdid= 12;

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);
$threaddm->set('userid', 1234);
$threaddm->set('title', 'Testtitle');
$threaddm->set('pagetext', 'a little test');
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$threaddm->set('visible', 1);
$threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$threaddm->save(); 


if you need the threadid save it with

PHP Code:

$id = $threaddm->save();
