Miscellaneous Hacks - Auto Thread Poster by BOP5 (Auto Thread Starter)

Version 1.2: Added {DATE} Options
Version 1.0: Initial Release

This mod was a request. The goal was to post a new thread regularly each week. The thread content would be Identical each week.

You set your thread options in the mod settings, and then schedule the included scheduled task to suit your needs.

Simple mod should work on both VB 3.x and 4.x.

I understand that would be a more useful mod to you, but it is unrelated this this mod. This was never meant to be more than a simple auto poster, it met the needs to the guy who wanted it, and I released it here in case the community could make use of it.

You would have better luck posting in the "Requests for Paid Services" forum if you are trying to solicit someone to make the mod you want.

It would be really helpful for me and many other member if we can have the ability to add/schedule new threads in que. ( having the ability to control the title, content , forum, user, and timing on individual thread basis)

Like i have an education related community. just wanted to schedule some threads that need to be posted in the coming week ( as i would have to login the forum for the next 10 days and starts a new thread exactly at 2:00pm ( the time when the examination ends)

Would really love the ability to add these 10 post in que n they are added over the next week. ( this could be super handy for new communities also IMO, adding new content regularly )

I am even willing to pay upto $25 for it.

I would be up for this too, and willing to contribute with some money.

Can anyone confirm if this mod is working with 4.2?

I really have a need for this mod.
I want to post a few daily posts for the mods to show a few custom scripts i have made.
I want to be able to post html or php though BOP?
Either using an iframe or include to call the file i want?
I know your not keen on working on this mod.... but just have to ask.
I have asked for assistance creating this mod but no takers

This mod sounds like it could be useful for me, thanks for sharing it!

The members on our forum typically come together to chat in a single thread for the day/week or month - using the same type of format for each thread. 'Forum Name - Date'. We often times have two or more members start the 'daily' thread and end up with duplicates. I think something like this to automatically create the threads for them would be awesome! I'll play around with it for a while and post back here sometime..

could you have different threads post in different forums with this mod?

[BirdOPrey5]

No. This was just a simple poster in a single forum. But it is re-useable code so feel free to use it as a start to something bigger.
