Is it possible to create automaticaly a new forum post in a specific category each time I create a new story node?
What I want is to access the story node's comments in the forum, is there a way to do that?

Thanks

What happens if you edit the forum vocab to work with stories as well as forum posts, then tag a story with one of the forum vocab terms? Does it appear in the forum?

Yes, I already tried this using the taxonomy_default module (and assigning to the 'story' nodes a 'froum' node vocabulary term by default), but it didn't work as the forum module only displays 'forum' type nodes. I checked the forum module, but I didn't find where I should modify it to show all kind of nodes.

Ok, I'm still trying. Now I modified the forum module, specifically in the 'select' sentences where it says

n.type = 'forum'

changed it for

n.type = 'forum' OR n.type = 'story'

Now in the forum list it shows me a bigger count number of posts (counting the 'forum', and the 'story' nodes), but when I enter into the forum it still doesn't show me the 'story' nodes... any clues, anyone? :'(

I imagine a solution that goes somewhat like this:

Take these two modules:
http://drupal.org/project/workflow
http://drupal.org/project/actions

Code a custom "create node in forum" action (PHP and Drupal knowledge required, I don't think there's a stock action for doing that.)

Unfortunately my Drupal knowledge isn't that big :'-(

Does anyone know how to create an action who could do something like that?

I don't know how to create actions that adds or modifies content :(

Sorry for bumping, but I really have to resolve this, and I don't know if there's someone who can help that didn't see this message.

In short, what I want to do is to access the story nodes (and other ones) in the forum, I want every node which can have comments accessible in the forum. That's because I want the nodes with the last comments listed on top, like in a forum. In summary, every node should be a discussion topic.

(No, promoting forum nodes to the front page doesn't work for me, because I also have other kind of nodes that I want to discuss about)

Anyone? If not, I'll give up with this :'(

Thanks anyway
