Forums won't show up as read, script-created Threads

[Raphaelx]

Hey guys,

I create threads on worpdress publish, which works quite well..
but forums containing script-created threads won't show up as read if someone opened it...
mark as read works on every other user-generated threads.

fact sheet:

• vBulletin setting for marking read threads is set to "database".
• mark all forums as read does not work
• the thread itself is marked as read while the forum is marked as containing new thread
• deleting non existing threads/posts does not work.
• the mysql-database records for user- & script-generated threads look similar.
• when I delete the script-generated thread everything is normal again...

I use the following script to create the thread:

PHP Code:

function createWPThread( $forumid, $title, $pagetext, $tags, $dateline ){
  global $vbulletin, $db, $wp_vb_usermatch;
  
  $open = '1';
  $allow_smilie = '1';
  $visible = '1';
  
  $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
  
  $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
  $threaddm->set_info('forum',  $foruminfo);
  $threaddm->set('forumid',     $forumid);
  
  $threaddm->set('userid',  4); // = bot
  
  if( strlen($title) < 3) { $title = 'Kein Titel vergeben.'; }
  $threaddm->set('title',       $title);
  $threaddm->set('pagetext',    $pagetext);

  $threaddm->set('open',        $open);
  $threaddm->set('visible',     $visible);  
  $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', $allow_smilie);
  $threaddm->set('dateline',    $dateline);

  $threaddm->set('taglist',     $tags);
  $threaddm->set('views',       1);

  // error checks
  $threaddm->pre_save();
  if (!empty($threaddm->errors)){ echo ($threaddm->errors); }
  
  // save
  $threadid = $threaddm->save();
  unset($threaddm);
  
  // rebuild caches
  build_thread_counters($threadid);
  build_forum_counters($forumid);
    
    return $threadid;
}
