Adding an ad-hoc forum to an ASPX template

Hi,

I'm trying to add an add-hoc forum to an ASPX template.

http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?adding_ad_hoc_forum_on_the_web.htm describes how to add it to a portal engine template (and I had no problems with that).

After looking at the "Forum (Single forum - General)" web part details in Site Manager, I tried registering:

<%@ Register Src="~/CMSWebParts/Forums/ForumForum.ascx" TagName="ForumForum" TagPrefix="uc1" %>

And declaring:

<uc1:ForumForum runat="server" ID="ForumForum1" ForumLayout="Flat" ForumName="ad-hoc forum" />

But this just gives me a page with "[Forum divider]: Unknown forum state." on it? Am I missing some key parameter on the control?

RE:Adding an ad-hoc forum to an ASPX template

I ended up pursuing a different approach, but this might help.

I added to the codebehind:

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

That hooks up the forum correctly if it already exists.. but I seem to recall I still had a problem if the forum had not yet been created by someone making a post.
