Create Posts

[Wild-Wing]

how can this be used to edit a post already posted?

afaik, it can't.

You need to add the following code, after the post has been created, to update forum counters and last post index etc.

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php');
build_forum_counters($threadinfo['forumid']);

It doesn't check permissions.

This doesn't work with 3.5.x for me...

It's saying "the user is already logged in, if you have lost your pw click here" or something to that effect. Any ideas?

3.5.x

PHP Code:

$rforuminfo = fetch_foruminfo($Feed['forumid']);
$newpost = array(
    'emailupdate' => 9999,
    'userid' => 'Userid',
    'username' => 'Username',
    'title' => 'Title',
  'message' =>  'Message',
  'thread' => 'threadid'
);
$threadinfo['threadid'] = 'threadid';
build_new_post('Post', $rforuminfo, $threadinfo, array(), $newpost, $errors);

I remember that happening to me as well. iirc, you populated BOTH the username and userid. Only fill in one.

i've created a hook :

PHP Code:

if ($forumid==7)
{$newpost = array(
    'emailupdate' => 9999,
    'userid' => '120',
    'username' => 'Informationsminister',
    'title' => 'Info',
  'message' =>  '[SHOWTOGROUPS="10"]folge dem wei?n wolf
:P oder w?hle folgende nummer[/SHOWTOGROUPS]',
  'thread' => '$threadid'
);
$threadinfo['threadid'] = 'threadid';
build_new_post('Post', '7', $threadinfo, array(), $newpost, $errors);} 


the start is newpost_complete
i want to make a automatic answer on every thread that someone creates in forum=7 but it doesn do that

[FreekBoy]

Is there a way like this to create forums?

[Derschizo]

What if you put it in the function_new reply and you want it to be a auto second post, what would you put for the threadid?
b/c
$threadinfo['threadid'] = 'threadid'; doesn't seem to work.

I want it in the same thread.

This works, but all messages created end up in a moderation queue even though the forum is not set to moderate posts/threads. I tried adding 'visible'=>'1' but it doesn't make a difference. Any clues? I suppose it's because I'm running this from an outside script, that isn't really logged into VB. I made a modification to functions_newpost.php

PHP Code:

Replaced:
    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod
    if ( 
        ((
With:
    // see if post has to be moderated or if poster in a mod
    if ( ($post['visible'] == 0) AND
        (( 


It does the job, but I'd like to understand why it's not working properly..

I also added build_forum_counters($forumid); after posting, otherwise the lastthread info doesn't get updated in the forum list.

You should be using

$threadinfo['threadid'] = 3310; (ie: 3310 is the thread id)
