Nodes content within nodes solution developement?
I have been asked to come up with a 4.7 solution for dynamically embedding blog nodes within forum nodes. Before I begin what I need to know is if someone is already working on this or has done work on something similar.

This issue might be relevant: http://drupal.org/node/70660 -- http://www.wechange.org/ Because we and the world need to change. http://www.reuniting.info/ Intimate Relationships, peace and harmony in the couple.
What kind of dymanic selection do you need? Could this be accomplished by letting the "Views" module select the node/nodes to show, providing them as a block (should be able to contain full nodes), and then inserting them into the forum posts with the help of "Insert Block" module? (A simple solution at least for some needs...) (There is "Insert Views" module also, but it had so much problems so I went with the "insert block" instead.) -- Samuel Lampa SKYPE: samuel_lampa Cellular: +46(0)70-2073732 RIL Partner AB www.rilnet.com Carl Mc Dade skrev:

That type of solution is a bit too complicated to set up and administrate. 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.

A site 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: 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. I'm 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. --Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Carl Mc Dade [mailto:carl_mcdade@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 11:29 AM To: development@drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] Nodes content within nodes solution developement?

Or the other way around: Much simpler. * Create a forum. * Make a tiny module mark_for_blog.module (or whatever name). This module add a checkbox on each node type (configurable?). * The module (or a views api) allows you to show a list of all nodes flagged to be "forums" I called this blogs as containers before.

I've done something similar that essentially redirects all comments to a non-forum node to an assigned forum node. Yes, it's a matter of hook_nodeapi, a table to keep track of associations, and hook_link. Post count (e.g. 1 comment, 2 comments) is already handled by the comment.moduleonce you know the associated forum topic nid. I can send you code snippets if this description is not enough. paa.kwesi On 12/08/06, Jeff Eaton <jeff@viapositiva.net> wrote:

Yes, I have decided to use an association table and nodeapi. I'm a bit hung though because I forgot to ask for a complete business model. I am unsure about "whom" is going to be the end user of such a capability, bloggers? admin? forum moderators? Or should it be open to all and subject to moderation.

To avoid this collision I thought to ask if anyone has a project that is even remotely like this?

I wrote the Attached Node module a while back: http://drupal.org/node/11988 It basically uses filters to substitute [node:123] with the contents of the node. It also has image-specific code (for Drupal 4.5) that allows for manipulation of the rendering: [node:123,res="640x480"] [node:123,res="original",title="Original version of the picture"] A coworker wrote a custom UI in my project to insert the node tag content from a select list, but others feel comfortable just typing these tags in directly. This code has not been touched in 20 months. Feel free to update it to Drupal 4.6 or 4.7. -Mark Carl Mc Dade wrote:

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. Thanks!

Yes, I have decided to use an association table and nodeapi. I'm a bit hung though because I forgot to ask for a complete business model. I am unsure about "whom" is going to be the end user of such a capability, bloggers? admin? forum moderators? Or should it be open to all and subject to moderation. Once I get these out of the way then I will start in. I appreciate all the input and you can keep it coming. But the one thing that is missing in the responses is the main question. Frequently after someone tries to make a contribution they are stopped because their project is similar or the same as another ongoing project. To avoid this collision I thought to ask if anyone has a project that is even remotely like this? Yahoo.com. Check it <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42974/*http://www.yahoo.com/preview> out.
That would actually be fabulous. I'd be very interested in seeing how you guys worked that out. --Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Suuch Solutions [mailto:drupal@suuch.com] Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 6:24 AM To: development@drupal.org; jeff@viapositiva.net Subject: Re: [development] Nodes content within nodes solution developement? I've done something similar that essentially redirects all comments to a non-forum node to an assigned forum node. Yes, it's a matter of hook_nodeapi, a table to keep track of associations, and hook_link. Post count ( e.g. 1 comment, 2 comments) is already handled by the comment.module once you know the associated forum topic nid. I can send you code snippets if this description is not enough. paa.kwesi
