how do i populate the body of a new post through url parameters?

Hey hobbs6487,

 

You should be able to do this using jQuery. Here is a post about how to use the Lithium loaded jQuery. Alternatively you can load your own jQuery.

You can use the <@liaAddScript> directive in a component as you see used here:

You can upload one or more .js files as assets through the Community Style tab in Studio if you want to keep the size of your javascript logic in the <@liaAddScript> directive small, but you'll need to pass the LITHIUM.jQuery object into all of the functions you define in your .js files (Thanks DougS ) 

 

Note: that there may be a lag between the page load and the filling in of the subject, and body.

 

I'm not sure if you can fill in attachments using this method.

 

Hope this helps,
