XF 2.1 How to load a forum node in template by id?

[sajal]

I have a forum-id in the template, and based on that I want to load a forum-node, so that I can create a URL to that forum.

Is there any helper or easy way to do this? Since to just achieve this, I don't want to override the class and pass it as a template parameter.

You generally want to load your data in the controller. You can potentially build a link to the forum without an entity though.

Thanks @Jeremy P I'll check this https://xenforo.com/community/threa...mg-to-a-page-not-working.173611/#post-1390921 as it seems to be promising.

You can likely get away with something like {{ link('forums', {'node_id': $nodeId}) }}, but you'll incur a redirect from URL canonicalization since you aren't passing the title in.

@Jeremy P, yes you're spot on in that case.
