Can I link Articles Or Blogs To My Forum?

[Steve038]

Is it possible to link either my Articles or Blog to my forum, so that when people comment either on my articles or blog, they're doing so on my forum? Here is an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/

Basically I want to write articles/blogs that stimulate conversation within the forum, rather than be separate from them. So although the article or blog appears on the Home page or Blog page, all the comments to it are on the forum, and the title is the thread title on the forum. The above website demonstrates exactly what I'm wanting to achieve. The person posts the blog, and the blog remains on the Home or Blog page but all comments to it appear on the forum as its own thread.

Well, not exactly like that webpage you gave us but something similar you could do is this.

* Write and post the article inside your forum NOT the CMS.
* "Now Promote The Forum Post as an Article" (look at the bottom of the post)
* Turn off Comments if you want and Play around with the settings..

This way it will display something like this,

PS: using the search under the 'Language & Phase manager' you could also edit that text "this article was originally posted xxxx" to something like "To comment please visit here:"

try it.. ;)
