[Building Sakai] MSGCNTR-691

[Matthew Jones]

It looks like context is only stored directly for private topics (private
messages)? I'm not seeing a context stored on either topic or forum.

My guess is you'd have to go through the area some how off the forum. I
think I'd know how to do this on the database, but not sure about through
the api's. I think the surrogateKey on the Forum relates to the Area.

Forum->getAreaindex()->Get the Area by Index somehow->getContextId()

Sounds like the better idea, I had to do this for a few things in
assignments recently to get them to work outside of the UI.:)
