Would be nice to see your script because there are a lot of open questions....

-Who is posting the new threads?
-Where is this script based (another cms or folder)?
-Would it be possible to use vB-cms for this?

Hi, thanks for the reply

Current script looks like this (used in vB3.8):

PHP Code:

    if (!($foruminfo = verify_id('forum', 100, false, true)))
    return 0;
    $dataman =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
    $dataman->set('userid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
    $dataman->set('forumid', 100);
    $dataman->set('prefixid', 'PREFIXED');
    $dataman->set('title', 'thread title');
    $dataman->set('pagetext', 'thread content');
    $dataman->set('allowsmilie', 1);
    $dataman->set('visible', 1);
    $dataman->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
    $dataman->set_info('is_automated', true);

    $dataman->pre_save();
    if ($dataman->errors)
        return 0;

    $threadid = $dataman->save(); 


I did check this earlier, I want to achieve something like it but excluded putting user password and base it on the global $vbulletin->userinfo as user is already logged in and the data is available
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=326890

In regards of the questions:
1. The current logged in user, which can be accessed by the global variable
2. The forum has its own folder and the script is accessed through another subfolder on the same level. Etc /www/forums and /www/scripts/script.php
3. Is vbCMS available in 5.5.0?


Edit;
I got it working using the following code:

PHP Code:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);

vB5_Autoloader::register('../');
vB5_Frontend_Application::init('config.php');
$api = Api_InterfaceAbstract::instance();

$user  = $api->callApi('user', 'fetchUserinfo', array());
  
$data = array(
    'hvinput'  => '',
    'title'  => 'title',
    'rawtext' => 'text',
    'prefixid' => 'prefixid',
    'parentid' => 100,
    'channelid' => 100,
    'userid' => $user['userid'],
    'authorname' => $user['username'],
    'nl2br' => false,
    'htmlstate' => 'off',
    'disable_bbcode' => false
);
    
$options = array(
    'skipDupCheck' => true
);
    
$nodeId = $api->callApi('content_text', 'add', array($data, $options));
