Auto-creation of threads?

[Andreas]

Basic code to post a new thread (as any user you want):

PHP Code:

chdir('/path/to/forum/root');

// Load vB-Backend
require('./global.php');
require(./includes/functions_newpost.php');

$userid = 1234; // The user creating the thread
$forumid = 12; // The forum where the thread should be posted

// Get forum & user info
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$bbuserinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);

// Setup the thread
$post[title] = 'Some foobar title';
$post[message] = 'Some foobar message text';
$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;
$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

// build the thread
build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

// Errors?
if (sizeof($errors) > 0)) {
  // error processing
}
