This is the kick start I was looking for ! I remembered seeing this once I surfed to the URL. Using filters is a good solution. I will have to ask which suits the scenario best filters or association. Possibly making it a choice in the administration.<br><br>Thanks!<br> <br><b><i>Mark Howell <mark@nullcraft.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> I wrote the Attached Node module a while back:<br>http://drupal.org/node/11988<br><br>It basically uses filters to substitute [node:123] with the contents of <br>the node.

<br>> Use nodeapi's insert $op to intercept new blog posts.

In nodapi's 'view' $op, add a link at the bottom of the<br>> blog post to 'discuss this post' that points to the forum<br>> topic in question. It would work best when blog posts have<br>> comments disabled; that way there's only one place to discuss<br>> a given blog post. The end result is that blog posts point to<br>> the forum for discussion. It would probably work best if there<br>> was a dedicated forum category for those types of posts.<br>> <br>> I'm not sure if that's helpful, but it's the flow we came up<br>> with. There's some sample code for programmatically creating<br>> forum nodes in the 'devel' module's
