Hi,
Basically, what I would like to do is whenever I add a new post to my blog, I would like to also post that as a new topic in a particular forum.
Can I do this with some ASP code and just add a new entry to the FORUM_TOPICS table? I don't care about increasing the user post count with this particular task. So do I need to worry about anything else such as entries in other tables that may be dependent? Or will this work without causing any problems in the rest of forum database?
Thanks!
Scott

Much easier to do it the other way 'round, if you can; create a forum exclusively for your 'blog and then pull the topics from that forum to populate your 'blog page. Yes, it is possible to do it our way but involves a little bit more work.

| it will work fine without causeing problems, just make sure you give the post a valid cat_id and forum_id, there are a few reuired fields but you should be able to work out which ones they are fairly easily. |

Very cool... I thought that might be the case, but wanted to be sure. Yes, all the required fields will remain the same. The only thing that will change will be the post content and the date.
Thanks for your help!
