Hey VarunGrazitti,

Thanks for trying.

 

You could call it private messages but they are also called notes according to the url, api v2 and such.

I am creating a component that I have added to my note item page.

 

The url look something like this...... http://communitystage.<name>.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage/tab/inbox/notes-view-mode/single/note-id/82

 

I am trying to get the id of the creator's/sender's user so I can use the API to grab messages only relating to them in my component.

 

Regards,

Jake

According to the docs posted by VarunGrazitti the response of a call to http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/users/id/<id>/mailbox/notes/id/<note_id> would return a from and to node like:

 

    <to type="user" href="/users/id/<id>">
      <login type="string"><username></login>
    </to>
    <from type="user" href="/users/id/<id>">
      <login type="string"><username></login>
    </from>

from which you could extract the information needed, no?

 

maybe it's not directly possible to grab the information needed from whatever context object you are using (code would definitely help, no matter if it works or not) and you have to make the way over an intermediate API call...
