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
