It didn't work. I added it in right after the line. When I would goto the add new story, I would get the blank page of death. Here is the code snippet from the file. I got the forumid and the authorid from the forum control panel.

Replace:

         $forumid*=*27; 

          $author*=*"Comments"; 

          $authorid*=*391;

with:

         $forumid=27; 

          $author="Comments"; 

            $authorid=391;

function addthread( $title, $text, $link, $forumid, $author, $authorid )

    {

         global $preferences, $uwrapper, $ipaddr;

          $uwrapper -> bbconnect();

               $forumid*=*27; 

           $author*=*"Comments"; 

          $authorid*=*391;

         $uwrapper -> bbquery( "UPDATE " . $uwrapper -> bbescape( $preferences[ 'website_uwrapper_prefix' ] ) . "setting SET value = '999999' WHERE varname = 'cachemaxage'" );

          

That fixed it.
Is there any way I can just set the default forum for it to just the comments fora, and change the user name it posts under to something like system or comments?

Open class_uwrapper_vb38.php in an editor and find:

       function addthread( $title, $text, $link, $forumid, $author, $authorid )

  {

         global $preferences, $uwrapper, $ipaddr;

          $uwrapper -> bbconnect();

Then add the following:

$forumid = 1;

$author = "Comments";

$authorid = 1;

Replace the values of forumid/authorid with the IDs of the post forum and user, and author with the user name.

And any way to migrate and set up comments posts for existing news stories?

No

Sounds like there is a typo. I attached the updated file to this post.
   class_uwrapper_vb38.zip

I made the change to function getforums on line 445 of the vb38.php file you listed, and when I did it caused the all of the admin pages to go blank. Nothing displayed onto them. didn't check the view source.

Confirmed. Here the fix. Replace the function getforums() in classes/class_uwrapper_vb38.php with the following:

       function getforums()

      {

         global $preferences, $uwrapper;

           $uwrapper -> bbconnect();

              $forums = array();

                $query = $uwrapper -> bbquery( "SELECT forumid, title, options FROM " . $uwrapper -> bbescape( $preferences[ 'website_uwrapper_prefix' ] ) . "forum ORDER BY displayorder" );



             if( $uwrapper -> bbrows( $query ) )

            {

                 while( list( $forumid, $title, $options ) = $uwrapper -> bbrow( $query ) )

                     {

                         if ( $options & 4 )

                           {

                                 $forums[ ] = $forumid . "|^Z|" . base64_encode( $title );

                               }

                 }

         }

         else

              {

                 $forums = 0;

              }



           $uwrapper -> bbclose();

                return $forums;

   }

So the comments forum is not under any category?

I'm using vbulletin 3.8.x. I'm not sure what you mean about how is it structure. I have upper categories with sub categories/fora. I set the comment section/fora up after I installed Content teller. It isn't under a category or fora. But it does not show up in the list of forums I can choose.

At the moment it I have had them post to another forum, but would like to migrate them to the other fora, and change the user name it posts under.

Which forum software/version are you using? How does your forum structure looks like?
