Hi,

Here is the solution to your problem

In aggregator module replace this code

  if ($user->uid && module_exists('blog') && user_access('edit own blog')) {
    if ($image = theme('image', 'misc/blog.png', t('blog it'), t('blog it'))) {
      $output .= '<div class="icon">'. l($image, 'node/add/blog', array('title' => t('Comment on this news item in your personal blog.'), 'class' => 'blog-it'), "iid=$item->iid", NULL, FALSE, TRUE) .'</div>';
    }
  }

WITH

  if ($user->uid && module_exists('forum') && user_access('edit own forum topics')) {
    if ($image = theme('image', 'misc/blog.png', t('discuss it'), t('discuss it'))) {
      $output .= '<div class="icon">'. l($image, 'node/add/forum', array('title' => t('Discuss this.'), 'class' => 'blog-it'), "iid=$item->iid", NULL, FALSE, TRUE) .'</div>';
    }
  }

In forum module under function forum_form add the following lines

  global $nid;
  $iid = $_GET['iid'];
  $type = node_get_types('type', $node);

  if (empty($node->body)) {
    /*
    ** If the user clicked a "blog it" link, we load the data from the
    ** database and quote it in the blog:
    */

    if ($nid && $forum = node_load($nid)) {
      $node->body = '<em>'. $forum->body .'</em> ['. l($forum->name, "node/$nid") .']';
    }

    if ($iid && $item = db_fetch_object(db_query('SELECT i.*, f.title as ftitle, f.link as flink FROM {aggregator_item} i, {aggregator_feed} f WHERE i.iid = %d AND i.fid = f.fid', $iid))) {
      $node->title = $item->title;
      // Note: $item->description has been validated on aggregation.
      $node->body = '<a href="'. check_url($item->link) .'">'. check_plain($item->title) .'</a> - <em>'. $item->description .'</em> [<a href="'. check_url($item->flink) .'">'. check_plain($item->ftitle) ."</a>]\n";
    }

  }

I have done this form forum topic, likewise you may do it for any content types. Contact me if you need any customised solution.

A few minor revisions in v6 but worked great for me.

How can we get thos working in Drupal 6

affordableweb commented 5 July 2010 at 05:29

It would be great to have this functionality in Drupal 6 on the Aggregator Module. I have played with the code included on this page but it is not working properly. I have the code for create new forum topic included but it will not copy over the article title, body or attribution like Blog It button does. Anyone can fix the code above for Drupal 6?
