I was able to make a script that posts a new thread to a user defined forum but not able to make it post a reply to a current thread. I tried using the example in the first post and it didnt work, can someone please help with a new post to current thread.

PHP Code:

$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 

$timenow = TIMENOW ;
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  
$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);
$postdm->set('title', $symid);
$postdm->set('userid', $userid);
$postdm->set('pagetext', $message);
$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$postdm->set('visible', 1);
$postdm->set('dateline', $timenow);
$postdm->save();
unset($postdm); 


this works.

PHP Code:

Replaced:
    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod
    if ( 
        ((
With:
    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod
    if ( ($post['visible'] == 0) AND
        (( 


It does the job, but I'd like to understand why it's not working properly..

Any solution for this? I still encounter this problem when I use build_new_post function. Right now, I have to execute SQL queries to delete it from moderation table and set the visible flag to one. Any better solution?

build_new_post assumes that you are adding a post for the same user who is logged in. use the data manager.

Cute! flypaper, a somewhat related question to the topic at hand, creating posts . . .

. . . if editing an existing post I'd like to have a simple "check box" in the editor that would flag/include the updated post into the "New Posts" search engine for everyone to review, see. Ever seen such a hack before? Easily possible?

Great Thread, thx Rabbit
