copying forum structures

[mbilla]

I looked this up through the search but did not find it (poor question most likely)

I need to implement a project-related forum system

Each project will have the same structure:

PROJ_NAME
-- SUBFOLDER1
----SUBSUB1
-- SUB2
----SUBSUB1

etc etc

When a new project start I need to copy over the complete structure, the only thing that changes is the PROJ_NAME

Is it possible to do it ?

Thanks, Marco.

I know of no automated way to do this. There might be a plugin at vBulletin.org that lets you create forums in some automated method.

Thanks Feldon.

Another option is to write some ad-hoc SQL code.
This is possible in phpBB, do you know if adding some forum directly via SQL will be seen or if it will need restructuring of the database, or will just ruin everything ?

Thanks, Marco.

I am not sure where in the database forums are established. There might be a function to create a forum which you can hook into.
