Manually Adding Forums

[nathanmickler]

For the website I'm developing, I need to manually add forums by directly modifying the MySQL database. Can anybody tell me which tables this will involve?

I know that it involves the forum table, but after adding an entry to this table, several things happen.

1. The new forum doesn't show up anywhere
2. When I directly access it by forumid my superadmin account is informed that it doesn't have the privildge to view the forum

Thanks in advance.

More development on this...

I've found out that the forum table is the only table I need to change, but manually adding to the forum table in the database doesn't update the webpages for some reason. However, if I manually add a forum by inserting into the forum table and then create a forum usign the admincp, it will then pick up and display the forum i added manually.

Does anybody know what function I need to call or how I can get the database change to be "picked up"?
