Getting at another page's ad-hoc forum

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to get at another page's ad-hoc forum.

e.g. if a product listing page has an ad-hoc forum, is there a way to put the same forum on the individual products' pages (where they are children of the listing page).

Even if the forum web part is in the parent template and inherited down onto the child pages via visual inheritance, it still seems to initialize a completely separate ad-hoc forum.

RE:Getting at another page's ad-hoc forum

Think I solved my own problem..

I can identify an ad-hoc forum's ForumName from a DocumentID, and hook it up to a ForumForum control, like so:

ForumInfo fi = ForumInfoProvider.GetForumInfoByDocument(CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentID);
ForumForum1.ForumName = fi.ForumName;

By passing in a different DocumentID (e.g. the current document's parent) I can get the appropriate ad-hoc forum.
