Category or board visbility

Hi,

I'm using a custom component to list the categories & nested boards as a navigation menu.

 

We usually have some categories or boards that we hide from menus until they are ready. How can I see this option in REST Api? At the moment it's listing them all..

 

Thanks!

    Hi Lorna,

     

    I'm assuming you are retrieving the list of the boards with the following call:

    <community-name>/restapi/vc/boards

     

    If you update "Hide from lists and menus" setting on the board, it will not be returned back in boards REST call.

    You can check the board visibility by making the following call:

    <community-name>/restapi/vc/boards/id/<board-id>/settings/name/config.hidden

     

    Here's the sample response:

    <response status="success">
        <value type="string">true</value>
    </response>

     

    Hope it helps.
