Auto-generating forums?

[iafraid]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to vBulletin (but not to programming) and I'm picking apart the admin forum create logic trying to build a wrapper so I can just have my code auto-generate new forums based on various events.

Does anyone already have clean code for this that is outside of the Admin toolset? I keep getting distracted by the global function calls and it isn't obvious what needs to happen outside of creating the base forum and setting the usergroup settings for it. I want to make sure I'm anticipating all of the new forum expectations.

I did see the FAQ entry about auto-creating threads which will be very useful, I was just unable to find a similar one for forums themselves.

Thanks so much,
- John
