API Question: Inserting a new thread from outside Vbulletin

[MattFord]

I seem to recall that there is a way to insert a new thread and get the ID back. I've been googling the docs to no avail. Can anybody recall such a tutorial?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I am pretty sure there is a thread in the articles forum about this.

There was also a thread posted on this topic a few days ago.

PHP Code:

$threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');

                

                $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(forumid);
                $threaddm->set_info('forum', foruminfo);
                $threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);
                $threaddm->set('userid', userid);
                $threaddm->set('title', title);
                $threaddm->set('pagetext', message);
                $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 0);
                $threaddm->set('visible', 1);
                $threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);


                if($threaddm->errors){
                        Do something about the error
                                }
                        }
                else{
                        $threadid=$threaddm->save();
}
