Create topic

[Niko Belger]

Hello,

is there any way to create a topic except via the REST API? I checked the internals and the part about "Content Items" but however I seem to be too bad at PHP to get it done.

Best Regards

are you wanting to create it via the rest api or inside the framework like from another app?

Pages and Downloads both have the capability of creating a topic (depending upon AdminCP settings). You could copy the general approach from one of those apps.

Example from Downloads app:

			/* Create topic */
			try
			{
				$forum = \IPS\forums\Forum::load( $this->container()->forum_id );
			}
			catch( \OutOfRangeException $e )
			{
				return;
			}
			
			$topic = \IPS\forums\Topic::createItem( $this->author(), $this->ipaddress, \IPS\DateTime::ts( $this->submitted ), $forum, $this->hidden() );
			$title = $this->container()->_topic_prefix . $this->name . $this->container()->_topic_suffix;
			\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->parseOutputForDisplay( $title );
			$topic->title = $title;
			$topic->topic_archive_status = \IPS\forums\Topic::ARCHIVE_EXCLUDE;
			$topic->save();

			if ( \IPS\Settings::i()->tags_enabled )
			{
				$topic->setTags( $this->prefix() ? array_merge( $this->tags(), array( 'prefix' => $this->prefix() ) ) : $this->tags() );
			}
			
			/* Create post */
			$content = \IPS\Theme::i()->getTemplate( 'submit', 'downloads', 'front' )->topic( $this );
			\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->parseOutputForDisplay( $content );
			$post = \IPS\forums\Topic\Post::create( $topic, $content, TRUE, NULL, NULL, $this->author() );
			$topic->topic_firstpost = $post->pid;
			$topic->save();
			
			/* Update file */
			$this->topicid = $topic->tid;
			$this->save();
