Getting current threadid to insert into db

[Mikey]

I have a add on which I am building, which inserts threads into the database with a short (user defined) description, and I'll figure out how to display them later.

Anyway, I need a way to insert the threadid into the database into my table.

I've tried;

public function actionAddYes() {
        $db = XenForo_Application::get('db');
        $visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
        $userid = $visitor['user_id'];
        $blurb = $this->_input->cleanString($_POST['blurb']);
        // $date = XenForo_Application::get('time'); <- not working - if anyone could suggest an alternate, i'd appreciate that also
        $threadid = $this->get('thread_id');
        $db->query("INSERT INTO `xf_Mikey` (`threadid`, `userid`, `date`, `blurb`) VALUES ('$threadid', '$userid', '$date' '$blurb');");
		return $this->responseRedirect(XenForo_ControllerResponse_Redirect::SUCCESS);
    }

Note, what I know I've learnt from reading the development forums or through reading other people's code.

Anyway, that doesnt work, I get this: Fatal error: Call to undefined method Mikey_ControllerPublic_Index::get() in /var/www/sites/xenforlibrary/Mikey/ControllerPublic/Index.php on line 33


Note; i've also posted this over at xenforo.com - so feel free to reply here or there

Any help will be appreciated

Well, first of get() is a member of the DataWriter class, so you won't be able to call it via $this-> in a controller. And secondly, I'm a bit confused. Are you attempting to create a thread based on what they posted? If you are doing this when you do a thread (via the DataWriter of course) you could use getMergedData() from the DataWriter class to return an array that would have the thread_id in it. It is extremely late... and I'm working on a very small amount of sleep, so I may be off.

Here's the scenario;

User clicks button on thread to 'favourite' it (opens in overlay), the thread is then put into the favourites table with their userid, the threadid (which I need), the date it was 'favourited', and a short description, like this;

Ooooh. Well then, that is probably easier than I thought. Construct your link with a parameter of the thread ID (should be available via $thread?). Then in your action / route pull that out and send it as a valid PHP set up. That's how I'd accomplish it.

Hmm, that may make sense in your head but it doesnt make any to me, sorry, I'm a complete novice in this

How would I construct my link?

What's your prefix and action that is occurring?

What's your prefix and action that is occurring?

I worked this out with him on IRC ...

For everyone else, the key parts of passing any vars to anther page is having them in the URI, your match and buildLink functions in the Route Prefix class need to take into consideration the variables you want passed. And you should link to the pages using {xen:link} and not by directly typing the URL.

Once you have the variable in the URL you should then be able to access it using the input function... EG. $this->_input->filterSingle('thread_id', XenForo_Input::INT);

 

[imported_King Kovifor]

Yeah, I read that over at XenForo.com... I replied before then. That was the solution I was passing him.

Thanks for the help both of you
