Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-3034191-20130904130202/@comment-188432-20130904154056

There is no easy way, no.

The Forum Activity module is just the "Recent Wiki Activity" module constricted to the Thread namespace, as far as I've been able to determine. Because you can turn off Forum Activity (in your personal CSS, mind!) by turning off the RecentActivityModule, mucking around with Forum Activity could have a knock-on effect with the RAM as well.

More to the point, it's a really simple bit of code. All it seems to do is look in certain specified namespaces and return the most recent activity in those places — ns:0 for RAM and ns:1201 for FA.

It seems to me — and I freely admit this is an educated guess — that the fact that threads and boards are in separate namespaces considerably complicates the ability to select a particular thread in a particular board using the underlying code for the RAM/FA module.

I think you'd have to create an entirely new bit of javascript and bolt it underneath the existing FA module. But I wouldn't begin to know how to do that, because I don't know the specifics about how a Thread in ns:1201 knows that it's in a particular Board in ns:2000, nor do I really understand the full purpose of the Board Thread ns:2001.

SO I think it's possible, but it would take someone who'd really studied the underlying Wall Forum code to tell you.
