vB_DataManager_Thread, How do I do?

[ralle89]

Hey!
I am trying to generate threads with the class: vB_DataManager_Thread.
I tried searching Google and the forums.
I couldn't really find what I need.

I need a simple piece of code on how to make a thread in forum, by userid, with contents and dateline.

I have seached a lot,

Thanks in advance,
Ralle

hi,

You must create a datamanager instance set the things you want to set check for errors and finally when things are ok save them

PHP Code:

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost',$vbulletin,ERRTYPE_ARRAY,'threadpost');
  $threaddm->setr('forumid',$destforum);
  $threaddm->setr('title','');
  $threaddm->setr('pagetext','');
  $threaddm->set('userid','');
  $threaddm->set('open',1);
  $threaddm->set('visible',1);
  $threaddm->set('allowsmilie',1);
  $threaddm->set_info('forum',$newforuminfo);
  $threaddm->set_info('thread',array());
  $threaddm->pre_save();
  if(!empty($threaddm->errors))
  {
   print_r($threaddm->errors);
   exit;
  }
  else
  {
   $newthreadid = $threaddm->save();
  } 


now you have at least an idea howto do it $newforuminfo is coming from a fetch_foruminfo(); call

Never mind, I fixed it.
I replaced all setr with set
Once again, thank you!

Thank you for your response and the big help. But I cannot get this to work.
This is my code:

PHP Code:

<?php
// don't look at the $scriptpath variable. It's assigned from an upper file.
require_once("$scriptpath/vbulletin.php");
require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost',$vbulletin,ERRTYPE_ARRAY,'threadpost');
$threaddm->setr('forumid',$destforum);
$threaddm->setr('title','Peter Jackson');
$threaddm->setr('pagetext','This thread [b]rocks!');
$threaddm->set('userid','1');
$threaddm->set('open',1);
$threaddm->set('visible',1);
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie',1);
$threaddm->set_info('forum',$newforuminfo);
$threaddm->set_info('thread',array());
$threaddm->pre_save();
if(!empty($threaddm->errors)) {
    print_r($threaddm->errors);
    exit;
} else {
    $newthreadid = $threaddm->save();
}

?>

And I am getting this error:

Fatal error:  Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference in /[...]/tools_thread.php on line 9

I tried to uncomment this line:

PHP Code:

$threaddm->setr('title','Peter Jackson'); 


But then it just started complaining about the next line

In setr the value is passed as a reference. (So it must be a variable I assume.)

PHP Code:

$title = 'Peter Jackson';
$threaddm->setr('title', $title); 


Would work, I think.

[Paul M]

Correct - setr() means set by reference, so cannot be a constant.

I am getting the following error:

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards.

any ideas?

[Opserty]

Didn't you read the error?

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards.

It seems pretty self explanatory to me.

You probably need to add something like:

PHP Code:

$threaddm->set('username', 'Username for Userid #1 or something here'); 


To the list.

Of course I read the error - how else would I know to post the durn thing!?

It just doesn't make sense to me.

I already have:

PHP Code:

$threaddm->setr('username', $uname); 


you are using set i am using setr but both flavors give the same result.

[Opserty]

What is the value of $uname? Also make sure it is set to the username of the member with the same userid which is defined earlier.

Here is my entire script - the variables in $_GET are all form variables being sent via AJAX to a page processing the form and creating a new thread:

PHP Code:

<?php
    
    // Get Required Includes
    require_once('global.php');
    require_once('includes/class_dm.php');
    require_once('includes/class_dm_threadpost.php'); 
    require_once('includes/functions_databuild.php'); 
        
        // Retrieve data from Query String
    $name = $_GET['name'];
    $lat = $_GET['lat'];
    $lon = $_GET['lon'];
    $uid = $_GET['uid'];
    $uname = $_GET['uname'];
    $gid = $_GET['gid'];
    $desc = $_GET['desc'];
    $phone = $_GET['phone'];
    $addr = $_GET['addr'];
    $addr2 = $_GET['addr2'];
    $city = $_GET['city'];
    $state = $_GET['state'];
    $zip = $_GET['zip'];
    $cat = $_GET['cat'];

    // Escape User Input to help prevent SQL Injection
    $name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
    $lat = mysql_real_escape_string($lat);
    $lon = mysql_real_escape_string($lon);
    $uid = mysql_real_escape_string($uid);
    $uname = mysql_real_escape_string($uname);
    $gid = mysql_real_escape_string($gid);
    $desc = mysql_real_escape_string($desc);
    $phone = mysql_real_escape_string($phone);
    $addr = mysql_real_escape_string($addr);
    $addr2 = mysql_real_escape_string($addr2);
    $city = mysql_real_escape_string($city);
    $state = mysql_real_escape_string($state);
    $zip = mysql_real_escape_string($zip);
    $cat = mysql_real_escape_string($cat);


    // Thread_FirstPost DataManager to add thread
        $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
        $threadinfo = array();

    // unsure about these two
        $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
        $threaddm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);
        
        // set to correct forum to use
        $forumtouse = 57;
        $threaddm->setr('forumid', $forumtouse);
        
        // user information - uid and username come from submitted form
        $threaddm->setr('userid', $uid);

        $threaddm->setr('username', $uname);
       
       $threadtitle = "Some title text";
        $threaddm->setr('title', $threadtitle);
        
       
        // Set thread contents
        $pagetext = $desc;
        $threaddm->setr('pagetext', $pagetext);
        
       
        
        // allow replies
        $threaddm->set('open', $open);
        
        // allow smilies
        $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);
        
        // make visible
        $threaddm->set('visible', $visible);

    // pre-save
        $threaddm->pre_save();


            $threadid = $threaddm->save();
            unset($threaddm);
            build_thread_counters($threaddm);

        build_forum_counters($foruminfo['forumid']);

There exists more code below this but none of it deals with inserting a new thread.
