Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20295 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: forum.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: pyromanfo Updated by: pyromanfo Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/flexiforum.patch (10.01 KB) When I saw what was planned for the 4.6.0 forum improvements I was intrigued and a little disappointed. On the one hand, it really did make things easier. On the other hand, it was moving the forum module further away from what I wanted to use it for, making it a little less useful for me. The main thing I wanted the forums for Drupal to do was allow me to use any node type in the forums, following the generic node-based design of Drupal itself. This actually pushed it further away from that goal, having a specific walled-off section of the site that only forum posts are allowed in, and now it's seperate from the other categories as well. So I got to looking at the forum.module code and realized how easy it would be to modify it to use any node type. That, combined with my Quickpost project would allow me the node-generic forum posting I wanted for my site. Enough rambling, here's the goods. Patch Description This patch takes the CVS forum.module and allows users to see any node types in the forums, such as stories, images, book pages, blog entries and flexinode types. It's a suprisingly simple little patch, and if you're like me wanted the forums to be a little more flexible, this patch helps in that regard. It's fairly simple, and I only did preliminary testing so let me know what you think. I don't think this'll get accepted into core, but I didn't know where else to put it. It's too simple to be it's own module and I don't know where else I'd put a patch. If this should be in the forums or something, I'll put it there. pyromanfo
