Hello

I hope that's the right place to place this question. My site (in development, still on localhost) is for a non-profit organization that runs events.
Each "event" page (which is created as a content type), should have a forum that is specific to that event.

I would like to use the core Forum module, and display it in a tab on top of the event.
I know how to create tabs in views, and how to use relationships, but:

- I couldn't add a "node reference" info to the core forum...because I couldn't figure out how to connect forum and CCK
- Also, how to call a forum (again, a specific one) from the Views display.

Maybe CCK+Views is the wrong approach? Maybe the core forum isn't right for that?

I'm comfortable with the modules but have no programming knowledge.

Thanks so much for your help!

Lior

Since you're using 1.1, this going to take programming. You'll need to create a new block and populate it like this:

          $block['subject'] = '';
          $forums = advanced_forum_get_forums(0);        
          $block['content'] = theme('forum_list', $forums, 0, 0);

Then you can use the block in Quicktabs.

If you use AF 2.x, the forum list is a view.

I am using AF2 and QuickTabs and I also like to have each container with its forums in Tabs.

I assume, I should use advanced_forum_topic_list view and pass and argument with container name. But it doesnt work. I tried container name or TID as argument and with no luck. What I missed?

Here is some other info.

Still no luck with AF and QT integration. Nobody will help?

Michelle, you wrote, that forum list is a view. But only think, I am able to get from Views, is list with topics, not list of Forums :(

This is very old and has gotten as much help as it's going to. If it's still a problem, maybe try the forums.
