    Description

      If you follow a link to a discussion from a block, so of the format site.url/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=xxxxx the app doesn't fetch the forum id, meaning attachments can't be added. The "advanced" section is still present, but is empty.

      For clarification, to get the forum object, discussion.ts needs either the cmid AND the courseid, or the courseid AND the forumid. courseid can be appended to the url, but the link handler can't provide the cmid or the forumid via params, only via the data object, and it's not clear how to provide this with the required info.
