I'm creating a site for a client that requires me to tie CCK content to a forum.

For instance, let's say that the content is a book product. The CCK fields will hold pricing info, ISBN, author, etc. When a new book is added, I want a Forum created specifically for that book.

Has anyone tackled that problem? I've gone through the modules documentation and haven't found one that enables that functionality.

Thanks. I'll repay the community with 5 helpful posts for each response I get here.

I would use the comment mover module for this.

Hi,

CCK and Forums Interaction is on my wishlist for a long time. Nice to have would be a "forum reference" field, similar to the CCK node and user reference fiels. To a certain degree this can be accomplished with a viewfield, but it's quite unflexible and unintuitive.

Even nicer would be a way to automatically "attach" a forum (-thread) to a node of a certain content type, where the forum is created dynamically as soon as a user chooses to enter a discussion. As far as I know my way around Drupal, this can't be done neither with the comment mover module nor with the views module. Or am I wrong?

Greetings, -asb

DiscussThis automatically creates a forum topic for chosen content types.

This might help #449236: Move Forum to CCK + Views

I was looking for the same functionality, to show a forum on each node page, kind of like the Amazon product pages.

I have the same problem. I solved it by creating a custom module that creates the forum... However my problem now is how to make the relationship between the node and the forum... Any sugestion? If you want i can give you my module.

How is your module different from DiscussThis?

Views Attach can show a list view of forum posts related to the current page, by the way.

Use cck_taxonomy module. Subforums are actually just taxonomy terms, really.
