Hi,

I'm running some sites on Drupal using its multi-domain feature. All of these sites have a common forum based on Drupal's forum module.

I would like to make the stories appear as forum topics in one of my forums section so as to have some fresh discussion always ongoing in the forums section.

I know that I can do that by using the forum topic node type instead of the story node type but I think it would be more logical if we could promote nodes into a forum, just as we promote them on the front page.

What would be really perfect is that stories of a specified taxonomy are automatically sent to a specific forum linked to the taxonomy.

Another possibility would be to be able to close comments on a story, replacing them by a message saying that the discussion continues on the forums (with link to the specific thread).

Any idea on how I could achieve that? Any advice is welcome.

Actually I tried vbDrupal which provides vBulletin integration but I decided to drop vBulletin and go with the forums module and standard Drupal 4.7.x installation.

vbDrupal provides integration like described above so I guess you could take a look on their site (http://www.vbdrupal.org) so as to get an idea of what I'd like to do with the forums module.
