I would like to know if it is possible to take all forums that are "owned" by a group, stick them into a block and show it on the group home page? I do have Views so I know I can always create a table view of 'forum topic' nodes, but I would like to know if there is a way to maintain the container view(s).
The reason why I am asking is because sites that have a large amount of public groups (and multiple forums per group) will have a long /forum page. I am looking to only show the forums for a particular group so I do not over-whelm my users with one large forum page.
Thanks.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI have started working on exposing the the og_terms tables to views. However as this is the first time that i have tried to do this i'm currently still trying to get this information availble inside an "add view" page :-(
Any help would be welcomed :-)
After exposing the data in og_term to views i'm working towards building OG Forum specific views that allow rendering of a:
forum pages / blocks that are specific to the current group context
forum page / block that shows public group forums in a site wide context

davidteall commentedI too would like to be able to do this.
The 'View' required is already there, of course, but in the guise of a Forum Container with the url /forum/xxx. All I want to be able to do is to make that Forum Container (or, in the case of some Groups which only have a single Forum - the Forum itself) the Home Page of the Group itself, but I can't find a way to do it.
