Making Blog post create a forum thread

[florida_guy]

Hello everyone

I posted the question below on vBulletin.com and Colin F. from the vBulletin team recommended that I use something he called "data managers" to do this and suggested I ask for help here. It's important to me that I have vBulletin integrated in my new site not just tacked on so I want to make sure I can do it before I make a decision on my CMS/Blog software.

Can anyone tell me what kind of insert statement I would need to create a vBulletin thread on the back end?

I think I'm near a decision on what tools I will use for my new site. vBulletin will most likely be my forum software and for content management I will use either Wordpress or Textpattern.

I prefer Textpattern but Wordpress has a nifty plugin that creates a vBulletin thread for each blog post. I want to find out how hard it would be for me to duplicate this functionality. I don't know anything about php but I know a lot about databases.

I am assuming that to create a thread in vBulletin I would have to pull the data out of my Textpattern tables and insert them into my vBulleting tables. What I don't know is how complex that insert is.
