Default VB Start a thread via extension help
I am looking for a PHP fragment that will start a post, and bring it to the "preview" screen for a user to modify before starting the thread.

I am going to use this so that a user can begin a discussion on a news item from my site.....

I have tried reading the newthread.php and working from there but I am starting to get lost.

If anyone can give me a hand I would be extremely happy

EDIT

I forgot it is VB 3.5.x

Hmmm why not just have a 'bot' user post the thread and allow anyone to reply to it? Seems a little easier then trying to force them to the preview screen.

Look here for some example code: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97283

From SitePoint are ya?

Another idea would be to have it automatically add a quote of the article text. Maybe send them to newthread.php?articleid=2. In one of the hooks for newthread, if articleid is valid, then query for the text and automatically place it in the message body as a quote.

Good luck!

I like the hook method, and I think that is the route I am going to try. The reason that I don't want a bot to do it is that I want the first person that clicks to start the conversation.

Have another field for the news item to have a threadid, so if someone has already started it, it updates with an appropriate threadid instead of recreating it every time.
