Attachments With RSS postings

[neopets]

So I have a specific RSS feed that includes one image in each feed that I'd like to attach to the new thread being created.

In includes/cron/rssposeter.php

PHP Code:

            // insert item as thread
                case 'thread':
                default:
                {
                    if($feed['special'] == 1){
                        
                                $poststarttime = TIMENOW;
                                $posthash = md5($poststarttime . $feed['userid'] . $vbulletin->userinfo['salt']);
                                $postinfo = array('posthash' => $posthash);
                                $forumid = $feed['forumid'];
                                $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
                                
                                $zimage = file_get_contents($ximage[1][0]);
            
                                $filenamez = basename($ximage[1][0]);
                                
                                $fp = fopen('/tmp/'.$filenamez, 'w');
                                fwrite($fp, $zimage);
                                fclose($fp);
                                
                                $tmp_name = '/tmp/'.$filenamez;
                                $fsize = filesize($tmp_name);
                                
                                require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_upload.php');
                            require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_image.php');
                                
                        $attachdata =& datamanager_init('Attachment', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
                        $upload =& new vB_Upload_Attachment($vbulletin);                        
                        $image =& vB_Image::fetch_library($vbulletin);
                        
                        $upload->data =& $attachdata;
                        $upload->image =& $image;
                  
                        
                        $upload->foruminfo =& $foruminfo;
                        $upload->postinfo =& $postinfo;
                        $attachment = array(
                            'name'     =>& $filenamez,
                            'tmp_name' =>& $tmp_name,
                            'error'    =>&  $zok,
                            'size'     =>& $fsize,
                        );
                        
                        if ($attachmentid = $upload->process_upload($attachment)) {
                            $itemdata->set_info('attachmentid', $attachmentid);
                        }
                        else {
                            exit;
                        }
            
              }
                    
                    // init thread/firstpost datamanager
                    $itemdata =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, $error_type, 'threadpost');
                    $itemdata->set_info('forum', fetch_foruminfo($feed['forumid']));
                    $itemdata->set_info('user', $feed);
                    $itemdata->set_info('is_automated', 'rss');
                    $itemdata->set_info('chop_title', true);
                    $itemdata->set('iconid', $feed['iconid']);
                    $itemdata->set('sticky', ($feed['rssoptions'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_feedoptions['stickthread'] ? 1 : 0));
                    $itemdata->set('forumid', $feed['forumid']);
                    $itemdata->set('prefixid', $feed['prefixid']);
                    $itemdata->set('userid', $feed['userid']);
                    $itemdata->set('title', strip_bbcode(convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($feed['xml']->parse_template($feed['titletemplate'], $item))));
                    $itemdata->set('pagetext', $pagetext);
                    $itemdata->set('visible', ($feed['rssoptions'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_feedoptions['moderatethread'] ? 0 : 1));
                    $itemdata->set('allowsmilie', ($feed['rssoptions'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_feedoptions['allowsmilies']) ? 1 : 0);
                    $itemdata->set('showsignature', ($feed['rssoptions'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_feedoptions['showsignature']) ? 1 : 0);
                    $itemdata->set('ipaddress', '');
                    $threadactiontime = (($feed['threadactiondelay'] > 0) ? (TIMENOW + $feed['threadactiondelay']  * 3600) : 0);

                    if ($itemid = $itemdata->save())
                    {
                        $itemtype = 'thread';
                        $itemtitle = $itemdata->fetch_field('title');
                        $itemlink = "../showthread.php?t=$itemid";

                        if (defined('IN_CONTROL_PANEL'))
                        {
                            echo "<li><a href=\"$itemlink\" target=\"feed\">$itemtitle</a></li>";
                        }

                        $rsslog_insert_sql[] = "($item[rssfeedid], $itemid, '$itemtype', '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($uniquehash) . "', '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($item['contenthash']) . "', " . TIMENOW . ", $threadactiontime)";
                        $cronlog_items["$item[rssfeedid]"][] = "\t<li>$vbphrase[$itemtype] <a href=\"$itemlink\" target=\"logview\"><em>$itemtitle</em></a></li>";
                    }
                    break;
                }
            } 


The part in

PHP Code:

if($feed['special'] == 1){ 


I know I'm getting the image and storing it properly. I'm not storing the attachment correctly.

I think it's because the code is meant for the image using $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('f', 'attachment', TYPE_FILE);

But since I'm using an rss feed to create an image there is no $_FILE

Anyone know how I can fix this? It stops at the exit command. Means $upload->process_upload is not working
