Hi everyone,

Here is a simple need... I would like to be able to post a story, which will be replicated as a forum post. Each comment to that story or forum post will be shared among them. The idea is simple, I would like to give a multi-angle view of the site and for those who prefer standard navigation and the other who are forum addicts.

Is it possible via built in Drupal functions or available modules ? Or does it require custom module development and if so, does it seem like a huge task to you ?

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to achieve such a task.

Regards,

jonjon.

You'd probably need to use a custom "Story" content type, enable comments and then use taxonomy terms to classify the stories into "Forums" Then use Views to display "Forum" lists and lists of posts within "Forums".

I suspect if you search for using CCK vs Forum module there's other information about this.

David,

This is a very good idea and I didn't see it that way. I will try that.

Thank you very much.
