What I want to do is display a specific thread on a specific page. I have over 100 different pages of specific content, and I want a unique thread to correspond to each of these pages. I tried copying the news module to make a test module, and then editing that test module to show a specific thread, but the changes are also applied to my main news module.
Is there a way to have separate news modules, each with their own threads displayed? One messy workaround might be to copy the news.php file 100 times and give each a unique name, but that seems rather excessive.
Perhaps the news module is also not exactly the right kind of module for what I want. I want the entire thread to be displayed, including all of the replies, and I see the news module does not do this.
Would it be easier to simply embed the thread I want in an inline frame, or make a new template module that just displays a specific thread?
