Hi phoneboy 

 

 

The only difference I can see between your example and the documentation is that the docs show the body parameters wrapped in data object.  Maybe try this format?

 

{
  "data" : {
    "type": "membership_request",
      "approve_request": true,
      "user_id": uid
   }
}

 

You might also try the restBuilder FreeMarker method.

Let me know if one of those options don't work and I'll keep digging.

Tried that format, same result.
The error returned, if it's helpful:

{
 "status":"error",
 "message":"Membership Request not found.",
 "data": {
   "type":"error_data",
   "code":505,
   "developer_message":"",
   "more_info":""
 },
 "metadata":{}
}

 

Making the same call using restBuilder:

  <#assign approve = restBuilder()
    .method("PUT")
    .path("/nodes/grouphub:" + node + "/membership_requests")
    .body({ "data" : {
      "type": "membership_request",
      "approve_request": "true",
      "user_id": uid
    } })
    .admin(true) />
  <#assign resp = approve.call() />

 

I get the dreaded Freemarker error dump with this being the only potentially meaningful error:

Caused by: freemarker.template.TemplateModelException: unexpected exception during rest call: FreemarkerRestCall{version='2.0', restCall=RestCall{path=[nodes, grouphub:myCommunity, membership_requests], action=PUT}, adminCall=true, impersonationParameterSource=null}

On my page quilt, it says "Widget cannot be displayed."
