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
