API for /view/allowed state of a board, but not for current user

  Hi Lithium developers,   In a custom component, on a forum topic page, is there a way to figure if the topic's board node is publicly viewable?   I am familiar with this REST API call: /board...

Got it. For this you will have to create a component on the client side and not server side. Use javascript to create the component and make the boards/id/${board.id}/view/allowed or messages/view/allowed  api call as an anonymous user.  If it returns true, then share it else not. Currently there is no way you can achieve this via freemarker since all the rest calls run as the user in context.


Hope this helps.

What's the best way to make a Lithium API call anonymously via JS? When the browser session is authenticated w/ a user w/ elevated permissions, we're seeing that typical ajax calls to direct API urls or to custom endpoints carry the user context.

    You might need to use API proxy to get that working. Talk to support to set up API proxy for you and they can guide you with the process.

    Hope this helps.
