hi paul,

thanks for your kind reply.

Fetching parent node works fine for the forum reply while editing the forum reply, but that does not work while creating new forum reply.

Because system is creating a new object id when you press new forum reply and there is no parent for that object id untill you click "send for publishiing" button.

Am i right? If yes, how to fetch parent id means forum topic name or id while creating a new forum reply.

Please help.

cheers.

hi paul,

let me explain you the problem. what i am trying to do is to hide the subject input box in the forum reply page, because i dont want any subject every forum reply. I am also sending forum topic name as a hidden input field

All the alteration are in \design\news\temlates\content\datatype\edit\ezstring.tpl.

In that template i want to fetch forum topic name or id. I am not getting any thing. nothing from $path or $content_info.

Editing a forum reply is working fine.

I am using $attribute.object.main_parent_node_id.

But using the same variable generates errors for new forum reply.

Please help if you can.

cheers.

			{if eq($ContentObjectAttribute:item.contentclass_attribute.name|wash, "Subject")}
				<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_data_text_{$ContentObjectAttribute:item.id}" value="Re: New Forum" />	
			{ else }
				{attribute_edit_gui attribute_base=$attribute_base attribute=$ContentObjectAttribute:item}

<div class="block">
<label>Subject</label>
<div class="labelbreak"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_id[]" value="1395" />
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_ezstring_data_text_1395" value="Re: <Topic Forum Name>" />
</div>
<div class="block">
<label>Message</label>
<div class="labelbreak"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_id[]" value="1329" />
<textarea class="box" name="ContentObjectAttribute_data_text_1329" cols="70" rows="10">
