Creating a fm:forum type node

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I am following the example outlined in the Alfresco 3.1 Javascript API (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.1_JavaScript_API) on writing a webscript for creating discussions for a content node.  The problem is that the nodes I am creating as "fm:forum" type are being created as "cm:content" type.  I am using the code below to create my nodes: 

    contentNode = search.findNode(nodeId);
    if (contentNode != null) {
        contentNode.addAspect("fm:discussable");  //add discussable aspect
        forumNode = parentNode.createNode("discussion", "fm:forum", "fm:discussion");  //creates the forum node with name "discussion" and type "fm:forum"
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍

The nodes are "cm:content" types when I use my webscript above.  When I create discussions via Alfresco's UI,  the resulting nodes are of "fm:forum" type.  Is there anything I am missing?

I want to add that the Primary path for a forum node created via Alfresco's OOTB ui shows that the discussions node is of "forum" type, while the nodes created with my javascript webscripts are of content type.

Primary path for Nodes created with javascript webscript:
Primary Path: /{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}company_home/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}user_homes/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}Coordinator/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}shadow people.jpg/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}discussion


Primary path for Nodes created with Alfresco OOTB UI:
Primary Path: /{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}company_home/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}user_homes/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}Coordinator/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}shadow people.jpg/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/forum/1.0}discussion
