Add "?forum_id" to thread links

[Marcus]

How could I add "?forum_id=32" to a thread link? This is to add some data to thread links so that search engines know, that it is in fact a different page: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/seo-canonical-links-for-virtual-topics.39413/

You'd have to edit the route and add it as a parameter at build time. I can't give you an example right now because I'm mobile.

Need to extend this:

XenForo_Route_Prefix_Threads::buildLink

Thread records contain the node_id, though it might not be safe to assume the node_id is available. Might have to do an isset() check on that before adding it to the link.

I added $thread['myforumId'] = 5 to ControllerPublic_Thread::actionIndex and I can see this variable on XenForo_Route_Prefix_Threads::buildLink with $extraParams['test'] = var_dump($data);

array(35) {
["thread_id"]=> int(2)
["node_id"]=> int(2)
["title"]=> string(4) "testtitle"
  ....
["myforumId"]=> int(5)}

This adds the title to the url: $extraParams['test'] = $data['title']; But $extraParams['test2'] = $data['myforumId']; does not work. Do you have any idea why my variable is displayed in the dump:$data, but it does not work here? Thank you so much.

ok I had solved it by add the parameter in ControllerPublic_Forum::actionIndex.
