Comment: Comments on articles in Forum

Bernard: Yes. This is what I'm looking for. It would like this:

Article body ...

At bottom of article a clickable link, with no. of comments in the forum, something like this:

discuss this article in the forum (2 comments)

And when the first time a member clicks the link, a new forum topic is automatically created, with the subject being the title of the article. In the message body, it has a clickable back-link to the article. Something like this:

This thread discusses the Content article: title of article

members comments here

If you are familar with joomla/mambo, there's a discussbot which does something similar.

I think this would be a useful feature for yacs, as not many CMS can do this. Many blogs just have comments below articles, sometimes with no user post count etc. And other CMS have similar type blog/commenting features, and have a separate forum, like xoops or e107. So to integrate everything together would be cool 8) and a powerful community building feature which combines commenting with forum functionality. So instead of comments being scattered throughout the site below the articles, they are organised in one central forum. The forum could have general discussion sections; but also dedicated sections which discuss the articles on the site in one place. A member can then go straight to the central forum and see all the comments/discussions on the site, and could access any article via the back-link posted in the topic starter message. Or a member could go straight to the article, and then go the discussion forum, via the comment link to forum

I'd be very impressed if you would actually code this request

ps. I posted a pic about the rendering bug as a new topic. (Couldn't work out if I could attach it this thread?)
