Default Making Blog post create a forum thread

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.

Do I have to be a licesned user to get a general idea of what is involved in getting vBulleting to work with Textpattern?

No, you don't need to be licensed to ask pre-sales questions. Personally, I am not certain how easy or difficult it would be to pull off what you are suggesting. I do know that while you show up unlicensed no one will be able to give you a definitive answer as to how to do it because then you are actually receiving support. (Which is why Gio~logist posted that.)

O.K. Thanks for the explanation. I was feeling ignored.

It puts me in kind of an awkward position though. I'm trying to decide between Wordpress, Textpattern, and recently MODx for the content manager of my new site. How easy they integrate with vBulletin is one factor in my decision. If I can't find that out a head of time...

Check here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=wordpress

This is a hack that integrates vBulletin as the commenting system, into Wordpress. You end up with the best of both worlds.
