I love the knew design for forum replies. I've been working on improving some ez forums also and wanted to ask how it was possible to retrive information about the parent object while inside a objects edit view? I've looked at the available information and for example it doesn't seem possible to fetch the parent's topic in the eZp 3.6 alpha release.
Also what are the thought's about using a XML text field for the forum body, any reason this wouldn't be a good idea?

Hi Brendan,
You can fetch parent of new object:
{let parent_node=fetch('content','node',hash(node_id,$object.current.main_parent_node_id))} {$parent_node.name} {/let}
$parent_node.children holds information about node children. Can be use in section as loop param.
New forum design will be available in future eZ publish release.

Thanks LukasExcactly what I needed.
And what do you think about using XML datatype for forum messages? I guess I'd loose access to simpletag operaters and code tags but seems to then offer many other advantages. Any "gotcha's" I'm not thinking about?
