<#assign boardID = coreNode.id />
<button id="subscribe">Subscribe to this board</button>
<@liaAddScript>
(function($) {
$('#subscribe').on('click', function() {
$.ajax({
url: "/community/plugins/custom/community/community/endpoint_name",
data: {'forumId':${boardID}},
method: "POST"
}).done(function(response) {
// DO SOMETHING HERE
}.fail(function() {
// DO SOMETHING HERE
}));
});
})(LITHIUM.jQuery);
</@liaAddScript>and You can also modify the same code to Unsubscribe the board by changing "Id" selector of button in HTML and jQuery and use unsubscribe API call in endpoint .
