Hi,
I've installed the forum extension and really like it so far. But I've run into a problem with displaying forums within Wiki pages. The documentation says that you can specify which forums will appear when you use the forum tag on a wiki page, but I'd ideally like different forums to appear within different wiki pages.
A simple example would be if I had a site about video games and a separate forum for each system (PS2, Xbox, etc.) In the wiki portion, if the page was about an Xbox game, I'd only like the forum tag there to show posts from the Xbox forum. Make sense?
Would this be easy to add?

Understood.
Right now no, sorry.
I will look over the code in the next few days and post a file edit which might be helpful to you.
It is not a hard thing to do, but i did not want to give the "Normal" user the ability to make a wiki page a select any forum section they wanted with out the admin having control.
Notes to myself...
Use an Id attribute in the tag which checks the ids the admin sets in the AdminCP.
If no ID in tag, display like normal
If ID is there, check against ID Admin have saved
Myabe add anew Admin cf to desinate which forum sections can be added to the forum tag.

Heres a quick edit which will work, but there is no checking being done, so anyone can select any forum section.
.....
New usage:
<forum_info id=#></forum_info>
I do not know if this change will be permanent, but there will be a new option like this in the next release, the change will use the following tag format <forum_info id=#></forum_info> but the php code will probably change.
EDIT
Use the following:
<forum_info id=#></forum_info>

| Actually, when I hit that <forum_info id=#></forum_info> into a page, it already works with no modification to the forum_tags.php file! It even includes the forum link above the table.
