Have you tried looking at how vBulletin does it? Look at the forms, then looks at the processing behind them.

Yes,
when we want to create a new thread, there is a variable named posthash that in the processing point to the first post of thread!
but when we use data manager, posthash doesn't exist!
(sorry for my bad grammer!)

When you call the "save" method of the Post DM, you will receive that post's ID.

PHP Code:

require_once('global.php');
require_once('includes/class_dm.php');
require_once('includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');
require_once('includes/functions_databuild.php');

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
$forumid = 12; 
$title = $charNames . $txtttl . $charClass;
$pagetext = $txtbody;
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$forum_id = (int)$forum_id;
$pagetext = (string)strip_tags($pagetext);
$title = (string)strip_tags($title);
                
$threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);
$threaddm->set('userid', 1096);
$threaddm->set('title', $title);
$threaddm->set('pagetext', $pagetext);
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$threaddm->set('visible', 1);
$threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);

$threaddm->pre_save();
if (count($threaddm->errors) > 0) {
    print_r($threaddm->errors);
}
else {
    $threaddm->save(); 
    build_forum_counters($forum_id);
} 


I used above code to create new thread.
Did you mean attach files after posting thread?!
But if i want to make links to attached files in the thread, i need to attach files before posting thread, or edit thread after attaching files !!!

Create a posthash, create attachments for the posthash, pass the hash to the threadfp dm - just like vBulletin does it

Can you explain deeper? (how?)

Take a look at build_new_post() in includes/functions_newpost.php, read and learn how vBulletin does stuff :-)

PHP Code:

$dataman->set_info('posthash', $post['posthash']);
