Lite - How to post to wiki forum using external form?

[CedricFP]

Hello,

I am using an external form to post to a vault wiki forum (it is the EasyForms hack).

I am having trouble getting the actual page content into the wiki page.

The standard code for the form to post to a forum is as follows (I have highlighted what I think is the problem area):

What command should I use instead so that I can fill the wiki page with content from the form?

Thanks!

$forumid2 = 99;
if ($complete)
    {
        if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])

                'humanverify' => TYPE_ARRAY,
            ));
            $newpost['humanverify'] = $vbulletin->GPC['humanverify'];

Don't call the data managers directly. Instead, pass your values through vBulletin's build_new_post function in includes/functions_newpost.php. The additional wiki data should be generated if you do it this way.

Depending on how simple the form is, there's one other way. If you only want to input the following data:

• Page Title
• Page Content
• Author's User ID

You can use VaultWiki's built-in function special_article_creator in vault/special_plugins_newpost.php.

Thanks for the help. I'll see what I can do.

I take it that special_article_creator can't work manage thread prefixes?

[pegasus]

It doesn't, it only manages the 3 things I listed. If you need to add any more input than that, you're better off using vB's function.
