DiscussionAbout 1.0

Have discussions about a non-Vanilla item in your database.

DiscussionAbout lets you associate Vanilla discussions to a non-Vanilla item in your database of your choosing. For example, if you have "articles" in your database users can:

• Create a discussion about an article by visiting /yourforum/post/?article=123.
• See in the recent discussions list, category discussions list, and individual discussion page which article each discussion is about (with the article's title!)
• See a list of discussions about an article by visiting /yourforum/?article=123, or see a list of discussions about an article by a particular author by visiting /yourforum/?author=456.

See a live example!
