Creating GARS Threads from external source...
Hey all,
Just a quick question to see if someone already has this feature on thier board, or a custom script setup that may work for what I'm looking for... I'm using a VERY simple script to create threads on my board that are coming from an external database... The database is 1.5GB of articles and tutorials, and I want to convert them each into a thread in vBulletin... Normally, I would use something like this: This is a simple, but functional model from vbulletin.org PHP Code:
newthread_start PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Using the sample above, what files would need to be included to ensure GARS working properly, and which of these functions should be called in what order? Make sense?? I've had some experience with inserting TONS of content into boards from external locations, but using that AND GARS is another matter.... I guess that I could simply turn off GARS for the specified forums (300 forums), import the content, and then turn GARS back on for the specified forum.... Any help or ideas would be appreciated... THanks! |

Oh, another part of my question would be if it was possible, if it's not easy to integrate the GARS class functions, if I could just insert a row with the options I need in the 'gars' table.
It looks like this is the only one that contains thread information.... I'm assuming if I did just an INSERT query, that when the forum was pulled, it would work properly... Thanks for any help, and a quick nudge in the right direction |

Hey there.
The easiest way is to remove any assigned types to any forums (via gars->settings) so all your forums are normal. Import your stuff as new threads. Assign types to each forum you want in gars->settings. Gars will do the rest for you Does that sort it? |
