Okay folks :)

This is what I have in mind.
www.AllPoem.com <- poetry site. Lots of poems, lots of visitors, But, no way someone can comment a poem or leave suggestions or anything.

So...

I came up with the idea of having a forum and a thread for every single poem in the database.
Exactly as on Digitally Imported:
http://www.di.fm/forums/showthread.php?threadid=52787
Each song there has a thread with a poll and people can leave comments. That's exactly what I'd like to achieve.

So what I need to do is this:
1) install a forum
2) make a script to loop thru all poems and create threads for all of them in appropriate category (forum)
3) edit my poem admin script so while adding new poems to the poems database, it also creates a thread on the board in the good category.
4) on the page of the poem have a link to that poem's thread



What forum would be suitable for that?
Digitally Imported uses vbulletin. does it come such such feature already pre-scripted or they modified it (someone who uses vbulletin could answer that please?)
Otherwise what would be a good board to start with and that I could modify easily into what I need?

Any forum would just work fine.. I have used vBulletin and havn't found any such feature though.

It shouldn't be by default, you will have to code it on your own.

There is no difference, you can use any forum..

If you use phpBB, you can use the phpbbFetchAll API to help you code your site.

It lets you fetch and create posts and users.

Well I was looking at the IPB one some days ago, and here is the code i found. Will help you a bit with creating a topic.

Thanks for the replies :)

illogix -> can your phpbbfetchall create polls too?
mike -> how can I edit the code you posted to add a 5choice poll?

Try the IPBSDK, you can pretty much do anything involving the Invision Board to tie it into your site.

Downloaded it but dosnt have what I need.

For a poll, I havn't took a look at it, but it must not be something difficult.

Check sources/lib/post_poll.php , that will help you create another array and use it with the function i have in the text file.
