Question:
How can I get my entire article to post in the forum?

Issue:
Currently when I make a new front page Article, it creates a forum thread, however it only gives a link to the article on the front page. My goal is to post an article, and then have a thread created with all the data, images & video's that was written in the article for discussion.

I know that users can respond to the articles on the front page, but I am not fond of that am have been looking for a way to disable that and just have posts in the forums to discuss.

Why don't you post the material in the forum in the first place, and then just "announce" it in the CMS? I think there is a problem with SEO if you duplicate all the same information in two places.

I didn't realize I could do that. Thanks

ty Lynne, I'm trying it out now.

@ mccollin: All you get when you make something an Article is a link, I was attempting to have the entire Article posted in the forums. Lynne's addon does that.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
