EE forum module hack to add forum_id variable to exp:forum:topic_titles for linking to individual topics

gistfile1.txt

In mod.forum_core.php around line 11003 find:

  		// Single Variables
			foreach ($this->EE->TMPL->var_single as $key => $val)
			{
				// parse {post_total}				
				if ($key == 'post_total')
				{
					$tagdata = $this->EE->TMPL->swap_var_single($key, $row['thread_total'], $tagdata);
				}


and change to:

  		// Single Variables
			foreach ($this->EE->TMPL->var_single as $key => $val)
			{
				
				// @hack @mk added:
				// parse {forum_id}
				if ($key == 'forum_id')
				{
					$tagdata = $this->EE->TMPL->swap_var_single($key, $row['forum_id'], $tagdata);
				}
				// END @hack

				// parse {post_total}				
				if ($key == 'post_total')
				{
					$tagdata = $this->EE->TMPL->swap_var_single($key, $row['thread_total'], $tagdata);
				}



------

this allows something like this in the template:

{path=forums/viewforum/{forum_id}/}
