Greetings,
I am new to PunBB, and very satisfied with it so far. I already noticed there is extern.php for syncing content to the outside, but is there something similar or any API for creating topics/posts from external applications?
For a project I need to insert topics into a forum, and was wondering if this will need to be done via SQL or if there are any functions for that?
WkR,
Daniel
Just grepped my way to the solution and found the add_topic function. Gonna use that, and see how it goes.
There is no special API for this. In the file "<FORUM_ROOT>/include/functions.php" there is a function "add_topic", which adds new topics to a DB. The first argument of this function is an array with information about the new topic. You can see an example of adding a new topic in the file "<FORUM_ROOT>/post.php" (lines 221-237).
Just tried it. Works. Successfully converted 3.5k of news posts from an old system to nicely formatted forum threads
