Description
Hi,
It would be great if a node-reference is added into the respective forum topic's
cck field.
This way once an article has been Sent for discussion
one can see the text on the node as "See whats being Discussed"
Also, site owners would be able to show a teaser of original on the forum discussion page.
Great module...
eagerly awaiting for it's d6 release
Thank you

vineet156,
There is a D6 version now. 8-)
What would you do to tell Discuss This! to put the info the the CCK field? I don't think Discuss This! should assume that a specific field should be used, not try to determine the name from the existing fields...
Thank you.

I second this option.
I'll explain what my idea is.
I am building a website for a pop-podium. When a member of the site is watching a event-node, I want them to be able to discuss the event, basically they would be able to say "I am also going to this event!", or "it was a great night", you get the idea.
Discuss this does exactly that. BUT, what would be very handy is that the forum topic would be entered into a cck node reference field at the event, so that I can use views to show the reactions on the event on the event-node's page. To my knowledge this is not possible with discuss-this.

Okay, I will add a field in the Content type forms so one can add the name of a CCK field in the originating type. That field will receive the node number of the node created in the forum.
Then, in the main settings, I will add another name of a CCK field which will be used in the forum as a reference back to the originating node.
The CCK field will need to be a valid node type or a text field. I guess I could look into getting you a drop down with the list of existing and compatible fields...
If anyone has pointers and/or a patch I'd be happy too! 8-)
Thank you.
