    Hello,

    I have installed the forum module without problems, and have two boards that I want to display under 2 different directories (same url) for example:

    site.com/forums/art
    site.com/forums/music

    When I go to the url’s above I always see the categories and topics from the first board (art), never the ones from the other.

    I call the forum from two templates with the same name in a template group “forums” with the forum tag {exp:forum}.

    Am I missing something, I don’t think I can specify which board in the tag?

    Greetings - Serge, Belgium

    Hey there Sergee,

    Thank you for posting your question.

    The behavior you are observing is as expected. Running the forums through templates will just give you the ability to use tags that the ExpressionEngine parser will recognize since they are not all available in the forums when run apart from templates. Putting them in different template groups will not effect which board you view.

    What you would need to do to make your idea work is specify which board.

    Like so:

    {exp:forum board="board_name"}

    Then you will get the URL to look like you are thinking.

    Make sense?

    Cheers,
