XF 1.4 Same forum.. different sections?

[Mike Edge]

How can you put the same forum in different sections. I searched but didn't see an add-on. I saw that Digital Point does this with several forums.

For example..

Category Search Engines has a forum called Pay Per Click Advertising with a sub forum Google AdWords which uses https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/google-adwords.35/

Then he has another category, Business and Marketing has the forum called Pay Per Click Advertising with a sub forum Google AdWords which uses https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/google-adwords.35/

How do you make different categories use the same forum?

I don't see that forum under the search engines category.
I only see it under business and marketing.

Maybe it is just a Link Forum node type?

I can see what you mean, and I'm not sure it's a "Link Forum" because it pulls last post and message / discussion count data too.

@Brogan Sorry it's Google in the search engine one.. Then the sub forum Google AdWords

@Dan No it's not the link forum as Google uses the same ID in both sections forum ID #5 and Adsense words uses #35 in both and both sections have last post info, which a forum link would not have.

He wrote a custom plugin to do this. I remember him mentioning it awhile back, don't believe he ever released it though.
