Create new threads from an XML

[akvaryumforum]

I have an XML file like this.

<cat>12</cat>
	<ttitle>thread title</ttitle>
	<message>Thread message</message>
<cat>13</cat>
	<ttitle>thread title</ttitle>
	<message>Thread message</message>
	<ttitle>thread title</ttitle>
	<message>Thread message</message>

I need to create new threads from this xml. Is there a way to do this?

Create new threads in an xml file? You don't create new threads in an xml page, you do so with a php page.

What are you trying to do here?

I try to import this xml like shop scripts. XML is used like database which thread information stored. So ı tried to import this xml to the database.

Note: Sorry for the bad English.

I'm not sure what you are doing or how to do it, sorry.

Creating threads uses the datamanager I believe, using XML won't accomplish this.

PHP Code:

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_SILENT, 'threadpost');
$threaddm->do_set('forumid', (forumid)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('userid', (userid)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('username', (username)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('title', (title)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('pagetext', (message)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', (y/n)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('visible', (y/n)); 
                            $threaddm->do_set('ipaddress', (IP));
                            $threaddm->save(); 
                            unset($threaddm); 


Example of using datamanager.

you can try with impex, I know it has a ton of importing options
