Discuss this on the ABCForum

Yes.

This suggestion has been made more than once already. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer. Perhaps there's a prohibitive development cost, but as you point out, it is easy to do in Drupal. It's done on Booktribes, for example.

Sounds v. good - I'll put Mike dixon at computerminds in touch with you!

Hey all - ok, nice easy feature to implement if you ignore the post on the Drupal forum (best not to believe everything you read in forums LOL) ... Just implemented with a simple form alter - code below if anyone is interested ... function abcstory_form_alter($id,&$form){ if ($id=='forum_node_form'){ if (intval($_GET['nid'])){ $parent=node_load($_GET['nid']); if (arg(1)=='add'){ $form['body_filter']['body']['#default_value']='Topic posted in response to ' . $parent->title . ' : ' . url('node/'.$parent->nid,false,false,true); $form['title']['#default_value']=$parent->title; } } } } We then just alter the template file for the story nodes and add a little link to node/add/forum with the correct querystring param and bobs your uncle :) Cheers, Mike

www.lorrainemace.com I've just tested it on one of my own stories and it worked like a charm.

Hurrah - thankyou all.

I'm not even going to pretend I understand a word of any of this, but it works, and thank you.

I think you may need some method of avoiding duplicate threads

www.lorrainemace.com Yes, because I sent a poem to the Discuss This forum and someone else sent the same poem. Is there any way of adding a block on subsequent postings if the piece has already been sent to the forums?

We will look at that one!

The way it works on Booktribes is quite good - all the comments appear under the book, but are also published on the forum. Surely the same would work here?
