Hello!
I;ve been trying to solve out this issue, but no success...
So, I have a site and i also have a vBulletin installed. I want to automatically create a forum into the vBulletin each time in the main site a new category of products is added (so that users can discuss the categories on the forums).
Now, I was that the data about the forums is stored in the "forum" table, in the VB DB. The problem is that when I insert with sql query a new table, it does not appear in the VB frontend, nor admin area. Sometimes, it does (when trying several times, i cannot explain)...
what i do is:
INSERT INTO `forum` VALUES (90, 0, 'test3', 'test3', 'test description3', 'test description3', 97991, 1, 0, 0, '', '', 0, 0, 0, -1, '', '', 86, '90,86,-1', '', '', '90,-1');

86 is the ID of the parent-forum - it's actually an export of the entry created by a forum add via admin panel... i just change the child's ID and also in the parent's list of childer add the new ID.
What is wrong? Is there any other table that stores that data? Can there be some cache problems, so that is why i do not see the forums created (i mean somekind of VB cache, not browser).
Thanks!

i noticed that the forums added via sql queries will appear in the frontend only after i add a new forum using the admin panel - so i guess there must be a cache problem.
How can i clear/reset the forum's cache?
