Where is the file that inserts new posts into the database?

[jbird310]

I want to do something every time a new post is added, but I can't find the file that inserts new posts into the database. It's driving me crazy, and I know it's probably right under my nose. Does anyone know?

class_dm_threadpost.php

Thanks Lynne! Any idea where I would insert some custom code after a new post is inserted into the database? Is it within this function?

function post_save_each_post($doquery = true)

Usually you would use a plugin hook and not edit the files directly... will make upgrading and maintaining much easier in the long run...

In plugin manager look at the hooks newreply_post_complete and newthread_post_comoplete... find those hooks in the php files and any code you add to those plugins will be like they were added to the php files at those hooks.

Thanks BirdOPrey, good to know!

Still can't figure out how to do what I want.

Basically, I just want the user to get a notification (NOT by email) every time someone replies to a thread they've created or posted in. I'm sure many people have requested this, but I haven't seen a solution for it anywhere so I'm trying to take a stab at it...

Any suggestions?

That is what thread subscriptions are for. Users can auto subscribe to every thread they post in.

I know, but I want something more than just thread subscriptions. I want instant on-site notifications for multiple actions (the first one being a new post), like Facebook has.
