I've been working on has almost *exactly* the same requirement. It's still in
development, so the code doesn't exist yet (urgh), but our conclusion
was:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=359051317-12082006>Use
nodeapi's insert $op to intercept new blog posts. When they're saved,
programmatically create a forum post with the blog post's teaser and a link
pointing to the 'full' blog entry. In nodapi's 'view' $op, add a link at the
bottom of the blog post to 'discuss this post' that points to the forum topic in
question. It would work best when blog posts have comments disabled; that way
there's only one place to discuss a given blog post. The end result is that blog
posts point to the forum for discussion. It would probably work best if there
was a dedicated forum category for those types of posts.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

not sure if that's helpful, but it's the flow we came up with. There's some
sample code for programmatically creating forum nodes in the 'devel' module's
generate-content.php script. It handles the proper linking of taxonomies and
updating of post counts, etc.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

[development] Nodes content within nodes solution
developement?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>That type of solution is a bit too
complicated to set up and administrate. <BR><BR>What we are looking at is a
integration of two types of community user. The blogger and the forum user. A
blogger consistently writes on topics but may not do so in a way that it
sparks a forum. They may be just blah blahing. But sometimes they may blog on
a topic that fits in with a Forum category. In this case we would like the
user to be able to take a blog and insert it inline into the first post. This
is so that comments and replies land in the right venue. Also the blogger or
site administrator does not have moderate blog comments and replies this is
left up to the moderators of the Forum.<BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
