manually insert a thread

[Jeweetog]

Hi,

If i want to manually insert a new thread (NOT using php) in the forum, how would i do that?

I know you can insert it in the database, but how would you update the forumdisplay about the newest active thread?

Trying to do something with silverlight.

Thanks in advance!

Not using php? So exactly how is it you think it will get inserted?

With C# into the mysql database?

I don't know C#, so I really can't help.

Did you already try just inserting it and seeing if it worked?

No because my hoster doesn't support silverlight at the moment. And i dont know how to set it up locally yet. Also, I dont know which fields i need in the db order to insert a thread.

Is there an API?

The language doesn't matter, i only need to know if the forum gets updated if a thread is inserted in the database?

Or do I need to 'trigger' something to make it update?

By updating, i mean the forumdisplay where you can see which thread is active at that time and how many views/reply's.

There is an article on how to add posts - it is the same as adding a thread only a thread is started by adding the first post. Go read that and it should help you understand what you need to do.
