2 =head1 add_post.pl
4 add_post.pl adds posts to topics or comments to webpages.
6 For the former, add_post.pl takes a topic_id parameter. For the latter, add_post takes two parameters, page_type and page_object_id. If not parameter is specified, add_post.pl shows an error message. If all three parameters are specified, the topic_id overrides the other two.
8 If no post_text is supplied, add_post.pl displays an input mask. Otherwise it processes the entry and tries to add post_text to the database, with the logged in user as the submitter and the topic id as specified above.
10 A refering_page parameter can be used to generate a link back to the calling page.
