Add Message body to KudosMessagePage

I am trying to display the kudoed message body on the KudosMessagePage.

I am assuming that there must be a way to access the message ID from the page, as it is in the url and has a link to the message.  I have tried to access the message ID with the context objects, but it is returning null.

Does anyone know how to get the id of the kudoed message?

    Use this updated code to fetch the board-id and message-id of the kudoed message

    <#assign urlList = http.request.url?split("/") />
    <#assign message_id = "" /> 
    <#assign board_id = "" /> 
    <#list urlList as url_split>
        <#if url_split_index gt 0 && urlList[url_split_index - 1] == "board-id">        
            <#assign board_id = url_split />
        </#if>
        <#if url_split_index gt 0 && urlList[url_split_index - 1] == "message-id">        
            <#assign message_id = url_split />
        </#if>
    </#list>
    ${board_id}-${message_id}

    After this use V1 to add these values to below API like this:

    https://saneforums.org/restapi/vc/boards/id/${board_id}/messages/id/${message_id}

    API will look like in your results:

    https://saneforums.org/restapi/vc/boards/id/le-forum-0001/messages/id/65820

    and here is the response to your community API where you can get the body of the kudoed message.

  • Han,

    Use below code to get Message ID of the kudoed message.

    <#assign urlList = http.request.url?split("/") />
    <#assign message_id = "" /> 
    <#list urlList as url_split>
        <#if url_split_index gt 0 && urlList[url_split_index - 1] == "message-id">        
            <#assign message_id = url_split />
        </#if>
    </#list>
    ${message_id}

    Parshant Thanks for your answer. This pulls the id from the url. Which is not actually the correct id. 

    The 'message-summary' component that is already on the page has the correct id, and links to the correct message. But I am not sure of a way to retrieve it from the anchor, or how to find out what variables I have available on the page as it may be in one of them already since it's being used.
