Hi all :)
I'm currently working on a little something for a community I'm a member of. So far I've succeded in getting the post subject and author from the API, but how would I go about forming a link to the content on the community?
The community links have to have the board id and the board name in them, so it looks difficult.
Any ideas?
Liam
Hi Liam,
Check out the following page which has details on "view" attributes for REST API responses:
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/rest-api/bd-p/developers-rest-api?page=apiresponse
The main one you'll be interested in for getting URLs is "view_href". More information here:
If you're working with the response via FreeMarker in a custom component, you can use FreeMarker to get the value of an element attribute by using the format "@attributeName". For example, if you're assigned a message to the variable "myMessage", you could do something like this to output the URL of the message:
${myMessage.@view_href}
More details on accessing element attributes here:
