README ------ This module allows for a useful connection between story/node content on your site and forum discussions about that content. For each selected node type, the module provides a Discuss This! link that will auto-generate a forum topic or link to an existing one to allow users to discuss the story within the forums rather than as standard comments. There are a number of configuration options: the administrator can choose what content types have the Discuss This! link enabled, and for each of these content types, a default forum in which to create discussion topics. For each node, the default forum can be overridden, or alternately a previously-created forum topic can be selected to link to. Features -------- * Site users can initiate new discussion topics in your sites forums instead of (or in addition to) regular comments. A "forum topic" node will be created and the user will be given the opportunity to post a comment on this. * per-content-type settings to determine what types of nodes will use Discuss This! comments * admins can configure who authors newly-created topics, and in what forum * Token-based templating of new topics title/body Permissions ----------- 'initiate discuss this topics': create a new Discuss This! topic within the within the default forum 'access discuss this links': view Discuss This! to an existing forum topic 'override discuss this links': change the default forum/topic in which discussions for a node will occur 'administer discuss this': modify the site-wide default settings for discuss this Requirements ------------ This module requires Drupal 6.x with Forum, Comments, and Token.
