How to? New post does not bump thread.

[Fender963]

Hey Guys,

A couple search didn't turn up anything.

Anyways I am programmaticaly closing threads and adding a post stating "This thread has automatically been closed by the forum ...."

Here is the code I'm using to do that:

PHP Code:

$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
        
        $postthreadid = $thread->thread_id;
        
        // Use $postusername if posting as a guest, use $postuserid if posting as a user
        $postuserid = '3';
        
        $threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($postthreadid);
        $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($thread->forum_id);
        
        $postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
        $postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  
        $postdm->set('threadid', $postthreadid);
        //Use $postusername if posting as a guest, use $postuserid if posting as a user
        $postdm->set('userid', $postuserid);
        $text = "This thread has automatically been closed by the forum.  ";
        $postdm->set('pagetext', $text);
        $postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
        $postdm->set('visible', 1);
        $postdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
        $close_post_id = $postdm->save();
        
        unset($postdm); 


Right now this post is bumping the thread to the top of the forum, is there maybe a flag you can set so no bumping occurs?

Regards,
Kyle

Set the dateline to the date of the last post (and maybe add 10 seconds to the date).
