To have the component pull in content from the board in which it's shown, you can use the "coreNode" custom context object to determine the id of the board.

The exact method you'll want is "id". You can then plug this into the URL for your REST API request using freemarker:

${coreNode.id}

After you've got the code all set of the component, you'll then want to place it on the forums. You can do this via the "Forum Page" page in Studio.

If I wanted to throw this component into a side rail, how would I go about displaying only the topic name instead of having kudos, author, and date in there along with it?
