vbulletin Integration in Current Website

[kyle83]

Hey guys,

I have a couple of questions regarding vbulletin integration throughout a regular website. My research so far has not been fruitful.

The idea is to allow users to post to the board from anywhere on the website. I'm thinking of by-passing vbulletin and adding the info to the database directly.

Upon posting a new thread or reply, I've noticed the following tables in the database being updated:

forum, post, thread

I was just wondering:

- If there is some documentation somewhere on how to handle posting new threads or posts to the database, i.e which fields get updated int he forum table etc etc.

- Is there anyway to use the vbulletin functions to make the post?

- Is there some kind of plugin or code I can look at that kinda mimics what I'm trying to do.

If I'm unclear in what I'm trying to achieve, please let me know.

Thanks
