@bdebruin,

Please find the add method in the /wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-includes/class-topics.php file and check the parameters that should be passed by your plugin.

@astghik

Many thanks, I am looking for some kind of insights how the Topic is created from within crossposting plugin. From what I see there is a little more to it than just the call mentioned with the correct args. Maybe the addTopic function is using information stored in globals variables?

Hi @bdebruin,

I'm going to ask this question to add-on developers. Please wait for a bit. I'll update the topic once I get a response from them.

Trying to enable crossposting from xmlrpc post client

Hi team,

I am writing some php functions to automatically crosspost to wpForo if a Wordpress post is published. I got this working for Wordpress posts created by WPUF and the next step is to enable this for post created through xmlrpc.

With logging I compared the differences and I got stuck on this piece of code inside wpForoCrossPosting.php

    private function addTopic($post, $forumID) {
        $args = $this->getRequestData($forumID, $post);
        write_log($args);
	if ($args) {
            $newTopicID = WPF()->topic->add($args);
            write_log($newTopicID);
	    if ($newTopicID) {
                update_post_meta($post->ID, wpForoCrossPostingOptions::META_POST_FORUM_ID, $forumID);
                update_post_meta($post->ID, wpForoCrossPostingOptions::META_POST_TOPIC_ID, $newTopicID);
            }
        }
    }

When triggerd by a WPUF created post $args is and the wpForo crosspost is created.

(
     => 5
     => wpuf created post
     => 1
     => wpuf created post
     => 2019-07-09 20:53:32
     => wpuf-created-post
)

When triggerd by a xmlrpc created post $args is (below) and the wpForo crosspost is not created.

(
     => 5
     => Xmlrpc created post
     => 1
     => xmlrpc created post
     => 2019-07-09 20:54:29
     => xmlrpc-created-post
)

Any chance you can shine a light on this?
