    I tried that but it doesnt give me all the threads inside each forum page for one category page.

     

    For eg: I have one category page with ID : cat1

                Inside this category i create four forum with ID: F1, F2, F3, F4

     

     

    Now i want all the latest topic to be pulled from each forum in one component, i have achieved this by looping through each forum and rendering the HTMl, but i was wondering if there is any straight forward way with one URL which gives the consolidated information.

     

     

    There is a built-in component in lithium saying 'Latest Topic' which does what i am looking for, but thats the built component and I want a custom component with similar feature.

     

     

    Putting /nested in the URL is not giving me all the threads for each forum.

     

     

    please help

      Hi,

       

      I believe this rest api should work for you :

       

      /restapi/vc/categories/id/{category_id}/topics/recent

       

      Thanks,

      Sunny

        this doesnt work because we have sub-category inside each category.

        And each sub-category has forum pages.

        Under each forum page we have threads/messages

        And i want to get all the messages/threads from each forum under each sub-category.

         

         

        The only way I could achieve this is by looping

         

        <#list rest("/categories/id/{CATEGORY_ID}").category.categories.category as category>

        <#list rest("/categories/id/{CATEGORY_ID}/${category.@href}").category.boards.board as board>

        <#assign threads = rest("/categories/id/knowledgebase/${category.@href}/${board.@href}/threads/>

        </#list>
        </#list>

         

         

        So now my threads variable has all the data for each forum under each sub-category.

         

         

        Cheers
