submit_post() question

[icebrain]

Hi, sorry for bumping an old thread but I I'm having the exact same problem, when I create a post using submit_post it stays hidden 'till a mod approves it. I have posted manually in the same place so I know I have permissions. How did you solve this?

Thanks.

icebrain: Normally that means $auth->acl() has not been run, or has been run for the a user who does not have posting without approval permissions in the given forum.

"$auth->acl() has not been run" - what does that mean?

I cannot figure out how to get it to post with approval. I am posting with an admin account and it allways needs aproval. I know i have the forum permissions to post

Code: Select all

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '../';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_posting.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/message_parser.' . $phpEx);

$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

$auth->login('AdminUserName','AdminPassword');

$my_subject      = utf8_normalize_nfc('Topic Subject Line');
$my_text      = utf8_normalize_nfc('

');
         
$poll = $uid = $bitfield = $options = '';

generate_text_for_storage($my_subject, $uid, $bitfield, $options, false, false, false);
generate_text_for_storage($my_text, $uid, $bitfield, $options, true, true, true);
           
$data = array(
   'forum_id'      => 82,
   'icon_id'      => false,

   'enable_bbcode'   => true,
   'enable_smilies'   => true,
   'enable_urls'      => true,
   'enable_sig'      => true,
               
   'message'      => $my_text,
   'message_md5'      => md5($my_text),
           
   'bbcode_bitfield'   => $bitfield,
   'bbcode_uid'      => $uid,
         
   'post_edit_locked'   => 0,
   'topic_title'      => $my_subject,
   'notify_set'      => false,
   'notify'         => false,
   'post_time'      => 0,
   'forum_name'      => '',
   'enable_indexing'   => true,
);
           
submit_post('post', $my_subject, '', POST_NORMAL, $poll, $data);

?>


Thanks

I had the same problem, but i solved this by adding

Code: Select all

'force_approved_state'    => true,

at the very end in the $data array.
This posts everything, even in forums with admin only access, as guest if submit_post() is run with no user logged in.
