I need to programmatically create a thread with some data in it and currently I achieve it in the following way:
It does work, and I only have 1 concern, I am not using "escape_string" on the message field, the message field is mainly predefined by me with the exception of 2 entries the URL and the username.
I do use:
Just in case this is my Slug function:
Thanks.
// Set up posthandler.
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/post.php";
$posthandler = new PostDataHandler("insert");
$posthandler->action = "thread";
$usename = $db->escape_string($product['name']);
$safename = Slug($product['name']);
$tmessage = htmlspecialchars_uni("[color=#ff9933][size=x-large]some text {$usename}![/size][/color]\n\nmore text\n\n[url={$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$product['id']}-{$safename}/][color=lightyellow]more text![/color][/url]");
if ($product['type'] == 'BETA')
{
$mybb->input['prefix'] = 13;
}
elseif($product['type'] == 'PAID')
{
$mybb->input['prefix'] = 11;
}
elseif($product['type'] == 'FREE')
{
$mybb->input['prefix'] = 10;
}
else
{
$mybb->input['prefix'] = 0;
}
// Set the thread data that came from the input to the $thread array.
$new_thread = array(
"fid" => $product['pid'],
"subject" => $db->escape_string($product['name']."'s support!"),
"prefix" => $mybb->input['prefix'],
"icon" => 3,
"uid" => $product['uid'],
"username" => $db->escape_string($product['username']),
"message" => $tmessage,
"lastposter" => $db->escape_string($product['username']),
"views" => 0,
"replies" => 0,
"visible" => 0,
"notes" => ''
);
$new_thread['options'] = array(
"signature" => 1,
"subscriptionmethod" => 1,
"disablesmilies" => 0
);
$posthandler->set_data($new_thread);
$valid_thread = $posthandler->validate_thread();
$post_errors = array();
$errors = array();
// Fetch friendly error messages if this is an invalid thread
if(!$valid_thread)
{
$post_errors = $posthandler->get_friendly_errors();
if(count($post_errors) > 0)
{
$errors[] = inline_error($post_errors);
}
}
if (empty($errors))
{
$thread_info = $posthandler->insert_thread();
$tid = $thread_info['tid'];
}It does work, and I only have 1 concern, I am not using "escape_string" on the message field, the message field is mainly predefined by me with the exception of 2 entries the URL and the username.
I do use:
$usename = $db->escape_string($product['name']);
$safename = Slug($product['name']);Just in case this is my Slug function:
function Slug($string)
{
return strtolower(trim(preg_replace('~[^0-9a-z]+~i', '-', html_entity_decode(preg_replace('~&([a-z]{1,2})(?:acute|cedil|circ|grave|lig|orn|ring|slash|th|tilde|uml);~i', '$1', htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), '-'));
}Thanks.
