Hi there. I have a forum setup and configured, and I can link to specific topics no problem. But what I want to do, is change the .../forum.asp?FORUM_ID=xxx where I can control the xxx.
Ie, I have items on my site that each have an individual id codes, such as 1089 for example. What I want is to be able to create corresponding topics that have the same FORUM_ID. Of course, I haven't been able to do this because the FORUM_ID's are autonumbered in the access db. Anyone have an idea how I can create the proper forums so that my link to .../forums.asp?FORUM_ID=1089 etc. will work without me having to create 1088 forum topics before hand? Can I simply modify the db field to not be auotnumber, or will this break it?
Thanks |

You could try it, but make a backup of your database before you edit it!
One tip: add an extra field to the forum editor that will set the FORUM_ID. That way when you create a new forum, you can enter the ID that it'll get.

Nope, no luck.
Anyone else got any ideas? I will have hundreds of items, all with unique numbers. When I add the item to my site, I would like to have a corresponding forum created, and the easiest way to manage all of this would be for the item and the forum to share a single number. The items already have a number (ie. 11, 1036, 90004, etc.), and I want to make the forum id match this number.
Again, thanks for the help if anyone can!
