Ok, I am new to vBulletin, but not coding in general. I create a template that is basically another type of page that I want uses to use to post to my forums. The template loads great and looks good, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post the information so that it will create a new thread.

My first thought was to basically create a big string of all the information that I want posted, put this text into the vB_Editor and then just post it like the standard newthread template.

When I do a vB_Editor['$editorid'].set_editor_contents(mystring), then perform a submit (document.vbForm.submit()), I get the error saying the editor text is not long enough (must be 10 characters).

On the form post, I left the original code, because I want to change as little as possible to get this to work.

If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, or even a product that will make this easier, please let me know. I need help!

If anyone is every trying to do this, I can tell you that I figured it out. What needed to be done was:

vB_Editor['$editorid'].write_editor_contents(strPost,'false');
document.vbform.submit();

This took the variable strPost, which is a big html formatted string that contains all the information from all the controls on my form, and put the contents of it into the vB_Editor text area just before posting that very information.

This allowed me to add any controls and have the user fill them out, then have the information parsed, formatted, and displayed in a nice post. The other changes required me to create a newthread.php that was for my particular form, which was in addition to the newthread.
