How to create an Idea Exchange using REST?

We need to programmatically spin up idea exchanges.  While I can create a new board and set its interaction.style setting to "idea" this doesn't work as expected.  The object is still a forum board, and trying to click on it results in a redirection loop.

 

How can we create idea exchanges programmatically?  Thanks.

 

Edit: Some more details.  The navigator and admin interfaces still think the board is a forum.  However, if I manually change the URL from /bd-p/foo to /idb-p/foo, this works.  I see the board as an Idea Exchange.  How can we get it so the admin interface and the navigator tree see this object as an Idea Exchange as opposed to a forum?

  • Hey xorrkaz,

     

    Instead of creating a new board and changing the interaction style you should be able to create an idea directly.

     

    The call should look something like this:

     

    /restapi/vc/categories/id/support/nodes/type/key/idea/add?idea.id=testidea&idea.title=IDEAS%20TITLE

     

    Hope this helps,

     

    Yuri
