[solved] update forum counters on hook newpost_process

[omardealo]

hello ,

i Create plugin on hook : newpost_process
it job move threads to another forumid when user posted duplicate thread Content.

PHP Code:

if(//Condition)
{
$dataman->set('forumid', $vbulletin->options['search_duplicate_thread_forumid']); 
} 


every thing is okay , but now i needed to update forum counters .
I tried a lot :

PHP Code:

// update counters 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_databuild.php'); 
build_forum_counters($vbulletin->options['search_duplicate_thread_forumid']);  
build_forum_counters($foruminfo['forumid']); 
build_forum_counters($forum['forumid']); 


In the end I think it does not work except in the hook : newpost_complete
after threads greated already .

is anyway to make update to forum counters on hook : newpost_process
Or another way to update the forum counters when this condition is true !

I think maybe it only works in newpost_complete because when newpost_process is called, the new post has not been saved yet. Maybe you can do something like, in newpost_process:

if(//Condition) 
{ 
$dataman->set('forumid', $vbulletin->options['search_duplicate_thread_forumid']);  
$update_counters = 1;
}  
else
   $update_counters = 0;

then in newpost_complete,

if ($update_counters)
{
// forum counter build code here
}
