Ok, so, still working on the moderator application system, but trying to make the option to create a thread when a new application is submitted.

I currently have this:

PHP Code:

          // Make a new thread
                require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dm.php');
                require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

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

        $forumid = intval($vbulletin->options['usml_modapp_forumid']);
        $foruminfo = verify_id('forum', $forumid, 0, 1);
        $userid = fetch_userinfo($vbulletin->GPC['username']);
        $userid = intval($userid['userid']);

        $iconid = 1;
        $visible = 1;
        $allowsmilie = 1;

        $title = 'Mod Application: ' . $vbulletin->GPC['username'];
        $pagetext = $message;

        $threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
        $threaddm->set('userid', $userid);
        $threaddm->set('pagetext', $pagetext);
        $threaddm->set('title', $title);
        $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);
        $threaddm->set('visible', $visible);
        $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
        $threaddm->pre_save();
        $threaddm->save();

But throws an after submitting saying:

Code:

Fatal error:

    * No Users Matched Your Query
    * You did not specify a username for your post.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 810
#0 vb_error_handler(256,

    * No Users Matched Your Query
    * You did not specify a username for your post

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add a query? If so, how do I do that? This is my first time making a mod that creates a thread automatically and I've never really messed with the database much at all.

So any help is greatly appreciated! :D

Thanks in advance!

Ok, this is the closest I got to it working but I got this error:

PHP Code:

  Fatal error:

    * That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are HMBeaty and you have forgotten your password, click here.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 810

    * That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are HMBeaty and you have forgotten your password, click here.

And this is what I have in my php file:

Can anyone PLEASE tell me what I need to add/change? I'm about ready to pull my hair out on this one

06-25-2009, 07:10 PM

It's been a while since i tried to do new thread via plugin, but if i were to try & do it now my action would be as follows:
i would try to follow same concept code that currently exists inside newthread.php vbuletin core file.

In 3.8.x source code it's in code lines 148 - 281

(there are alot of fields you can define in code, writing here the most basic i would use, to see this works...)

PHP Code:

  require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_newpost.php');

 
 
$target_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid); 

$newpost = array( 

                'userid' => $user_id, 

                'username' => $username, 

                'message' =>  "msg text here", 

                'title' => "title goes here",

                'poststarttime' => time(),

                'emailupdate' => 0

); 

 
build_new_post('thread', $target_foruminfo, array(), array(), $newpost, $errors);

 
// Check if any errors during post

if (sizeof($errors) > 0) 

{ 

       // Post of new thread failed !

       $error_info = construct_errors($errors); 

       //echo $error_info; 

       // do anything you want here - likely to redirect !

       // ...

} 

 
// Fix forums counters

build_forum_counters($forumid);

I haven't tested the above code, just writing what i think should be working.
Hope this helps you my friend

Redline · 06-25-2009, 07:20 PM

Well, no errors this time, but it didn't create a thread :(

06-25-2009, 07:22 PM

hmm.. did you replaced all my dummy vars with real ones ?
(dummy vars such as $forumid, $username, $user_id, etc.)

EDIT: also if from external file & not from plugin, might also need to include

PHP Code:

  require_once('./global.php');

Redline · 06-25-2009, 07:27 PM

Not really sure on how to replace what you suggested. lol

Again, I've never really coded PHP to this extent and this is my FIRST time creating a mod that creates a thread automatically. So, I'm not sure what to put where as far as that lol

06-25-2009, 07:34 PM

i used those vars as place holder for real values that needs to enter.

for example where i wrote forumid, you need to place the actual forumid into which this post gonna be placed onto.

Lets assume example & how would this reflect in code:
please assume we want to post with:
forumid = 1
username = "some name"
user_id = 1

the code would look like:

PHP Code:

  require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_newpost.php'); 

 
 
// here are my settings for this test

$forumid = 1;

$user_id = 1;

$username = "some name";

 
$target_foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);  

$newpost = array(  

                'userid' => $user_id,  

                'username' => $username,  

                'message' =>  "msg text here",  

                'title' => "title goes here", 

                'poststarttime' => time(), 

                'emailupdate' => 0 

);  

 
build_new_post('thread', $target_foruminfo, array(), array(), $newpost, $errors); 

 
// Check if any errors during post 

if (sizeof($errors) > 0)  

{  

       // Post of new thread failed ! 

       $error_info = construct_errors($errors);  

       //echo $error_info;  

       // do anything you want here - likely to redirect ! 

       // ... 

 
      echo "new thread failed";

}  else {

     echo "new thread added :)";

}

 
// Fix forums counters 

build_forum_counters($forumid);  

 
echo "counter fixed - all should be ok";

EDIT:
i've Added some extra echo to page code above, so you may see if this works or not.
i assumed before you have some php knowledge and only placed "generic" layout of code concept i would use for it.
so if this test works, then when load complete you'll see new post under forum id of "1".
If no such forumid on your site, please update to some other existing forumid.

The user_id & username should be set to values of some "dummy" user you've created, unless you want to post under your own name, then place your own name values. Just make sure the user id & username exists...
