Hi, has anyone else had a similar issue?
Hi domladden,
As per my understanding following is my suggestion,
1. In a post page, add a custom component.
2. In customcomponet capture sumbmit(or Post) button action using jQuery
3. Stop Lithium post activity by returning false.
4. Read user entered subject and Body using jQuery,
5. Add your data which you want to add into the body.
6. Call Lithium post message API and pass subject and body.
7. Capture new message ID and URL return from post API and redirect user to the new message page.
Following is the code snippet:
$('.lia-button-Submit-action').bind('click', function(e) {
$.ajax({
url : '/restapi/vc/boards/id/${coreNode.id}/messages/post',
type : "POST",
data: {"message.author":"login/${user.login}","message.subject":subject goes here,"message.body":new body goes here,"restapi.response_style":"view","xslt":"json.xsl"},
async : true,
error : function(data){
},
success : function(data){
redirect to data.response.message.view_href;
}
return false;
}
Hope this helps!

Phani
