Not sure what you are asking but:

Create Posts

Create Threads

[cnotes88]

im not even sure. It's a start
i have a bunch of stuff in excel everyday and I can create code that converts the excel sheet to a php file

so I figure instead of manually creating 5 threads. that i could do the whole excel to .php file then run the php script.

but, 1.) i don't know PHP

2.) im not even sure where or how to run a php script

so if i can figure out how to create threads in php and where to run it then i can do this whole process easily ie; an excel sheet to 5 threads everyday

NBA is 8 ie; /forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8

I just saved it has test.php and uploaded it to forums/ to run it. but it just says done and nothing. any ideas?

Thanks.

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

$forumdid= 8;

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);

$threaddm->set('forumid', $foruminfo['forumid']);
$threaddm->set('userid', Admin);
$threaddm->set('title', 'Test of Script');
$threaddm->set('pagetext', 'This was run from backend');
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$threaddm->set('visible', 1);
$threaddm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$threaddm->save();  
?>

The code itself outputs nothing by echo, print, etc. You have to put a echo or print at the end if you want it to output something.

you mean if i want it to say something after run? like echo "script run successfully!!";

i don't care about that. I mean its not working at all. It doesn't create a new thread in my NBA forum

1.) i don't know PHP

2.) im not even sure where or how to run a php script

I recommend you go and learn the basics then or hire someone to do this for you.
