Auto-creation of threads?

[Wired1]

One of the side menus in the admin section, a dropdown accessible only within that area.

oh that i thought for the form it would've been admincp based anyway, it's not too hard to add a new page, the hardest bit comes when trying to add something to an existing page.

I used this code, IT actually adds the thread but i get the following warning

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in \global.php on line 329

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \includes\functions.php on line 2177


Also if the subject in the forum ID is send again then it just exits it doesn't flow through the code.



Help

Thanks,

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid); 
$bbuserinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid); 
$post[title] = 'subject'; 
$post[message] = 'message'; 
$post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW; 
$post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']); 
build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors); 
?>

works for me with 3.03 without problems ...

that's a problem with php5

before the require global.php add these lines:

PHP Code:

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

Thanks for the quick help !

I have a small follow up. I know how to get the threadid, but how would i post a reply to that ID ?

Do i put instead of the 0, you put the threadid (lets say 3212) ? example:

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 3212, $post, $errors);

[lowspeed]

I tried doing something like this ...

build_new_post('reply', $foruminfo, array(), 3212, $post, $errors);

where 3212 is the thread i'm replying to, but it didn't work

[lowspeed]

Ok i found how to do it

You need these added:

$threadid=1091; // the thread you want to reply to
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);

build_new_post('reply', $foruminfo, $threadinfo, $_POST['postid'], $post, $errors);

Hi Guys,

It works fine when called independently from the rest of my code.

I have a feeling that because my php site uses a database as well it gets confused to which database its refering to.

How can i make sure that when i run the post thread section it looks at the VB db and after it reverts back to my db. ??

Use a different dbuser/pass for your application

doesnt work

I decided to use URL stream instead.
