I am using the MSM for a site, and each sub-site needs to have its own seperate forum.

I have created Forum Boards for each sub-site and they seem to work properly on each sub-site when used with the trigger-word, but I am trying to run the forums through the normal template engine using the {exp:forum} tag, as per the docs here.

This only seems to work for one site, as it is displaying the first forum board on all sub-sites. Changing trigger-words or template names doesnt seem to have any effect..

Is this a bug, or is there some kind of undocumented param that i can pass the {exp:forum} tag to specify which forum id or short name to use? ie {exp:forum short_name="siteB-forum"}

It should work with

{exp:forum board="siteB-forum"}

So- you were close.  Did that do the trick?

Indeedy, that did do the trick, thanks Robin!

Maybe that little param could be added to the docs next time round? =]

According to the docs it should be “boards”, but glad you’re squared away there 😊

Nevermind, that was actually {exp:forum:topic_titles}.

It’s in the docs now:

Forum Board Short Name

The “short name” for the forum board, used in the board= parameter of the Forum tag when running forums through regular templates.

But the page is kinda long, so it’s easy to miss.  (And I still get a little fuzzy on the alias issue myself, but not sure how to improve on the description.)

But for now- glad it’s working and I’ll go ahead and close this one out.
