Hi neel_psl  You have to raise a ticket to Lithium support team so they can configure it on your instance.

Really?? I'm speechless... so to actually get a list of all existing ranks we have to contact support even though there is an official API call for it in v1 and v2 and neither of them works properly...

 

The v1 call to ranks/list asks for a specific user login or id (via URL parameter) which completely defeats it's purpose, I don't want a USER's rank, I want ALL ranks in the community (this time for translation purposes).

 

<response status="error">
<error code="306">
<message>
A required feature is not configured: user-node-rank.
</message>
</error>
</response>

 

The v2 call documented here https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=commv2&collection=ranks#fields-id just returns an error on a 17.12 (17.12-release r1803051017) community...

 

{
  "status" : "error",
  "message" : "undefined collection: ranks",
  "data" : {
    "type" : "error_data",
    "code" : 602,
    "developer_message" : "",
    "more_info" : ""
  },
  "metadata" : { }
}

SuzieH do you know why this is documented but then throws an error like that? It says nowhere that this has to be custom enabled by support?? I'm simply trying

SELECT * FROM ranks

If that's really something that needs to be first enabled by support, please add it to the docs so any confusion and waste of time is avoided in the future.
