Yes, basically.

In version 2.2.7, it works as follows:

LDM mantains a setting 'default_forumid' (by default set to 'none'); each category has an associated forum (by default 'default_forumid'); and each entry has an associated forum (by default the category's forumid).

Each of these associated forums can be changed: default_forumid on the admin settings page, and the category/entry forum using the add/edit category/entry forms.

The autocreate_thread plugin only creates a thread for new entries that have a valid forumid that is open for posting. It will only create posts for comments if a thread was auto-created when the entry was added. (I hope that is clear.)

In other words, the autocreate process posts in the forum which is 'associated' with the entry.

In version 2.2.8, this same mechanism works, but there is also a possibility to set an 'autocreate_forum' on a global and per-category basis. This can be a different forum to the 'associated forum' and takes precedence if set.

Forum association is explained in the on-line manual at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...Access_Control
