Post handler - Mr Josh - 03-05-2012 12:46 PM
How do I create a post with the post handler located in inc/datahandlers/post.php
Is there a documentation or something?
Thanks

you may trace a couple of plugins related to automatic posting .. eg. welcome topic , advanced reports ..

Something along this sort of lines ought to work, though I haven't tested it:
PHP Code:
<?php
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/post.php";
$posthandler = new PostDataHandler("insert");
$post = array(
"tid" => 0, // Thread ID
"replyto" => 0, // Reply to ID
"fid" => 0, // Forum ID
"subject" => '', // Post subject
"icon" => '', // Post icon
"uid" => 1, // User ID
"username" => '', // Username
"message" => '', // Message
"ipaddress" => get_ip(),
);
$post['options'] = array(
"signature" => 1,
"subscriptionmethod" => 1,
"disablesmilies" => 0
);
$posthandler->set_data($post);
$valid_post = $posthandler->validate_post();
$post_errors = array();
if(!$valid_post)
{
$post_errors = $posthandler->get_friendly_errors();
}
$posthandler->insert_post();

I will test it ASAP, thank you euantor.
If you ever find the time, could you please post similar code for a new thread?

Code for inserting a new thread is a lot similar to the code for inserting a new post (pieced together from newthread.php, also untested):
PHP Code:
<?php
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/post.php";
$posthandler = new PostDataHandler("insert");
$posthandler->action = "thread";
$new_thread = array(
"fid" => 0, // Forum ID to create thread
"subject" => '', // Subject
"prefix" => '', // Thread prefix
"icon" => '', // Thread Icon
"uid" => 0, // Poster ID
"username" => '', // Poster Username
"message" => '', // Post message
"ipaddress" => get_ip(),
);
$new_thread['options'] = array(
"signature" => 1,
"subscriptionmethod" => 1,
"disablesmilies" => 0
);
$posthandler->set_data($new_thread);
$valid_thread = $posthandler->validate_post();
$post_errors = array();
if(!$valid_thread)
{
$post_errors = $posthandler->get_friendly_errors();
}
if(count($post_errors) > 0)
{
$thread_errors = inline_error($post_errors);
$mybb->input['action'] = "newthread";
}
else
{
$posthandler->insert_thread();
}
?>Also, for future reference, if you have a program that is able to search across multiple files (like Notepad++'s find in files feature), you can search for a function and see how it has been used across the mybb core or in other plugins.
In this case, searching for something like '$posthandler->insert_' would show up both cases where the $posthandler was used to insert new posts and threads.

"...a program that is able to search across multiple files..."
I've searched through the code many times, but having both these here is a good way to save time.
Thanks Beardy.
