How to subscribe to a label using a custom link, expecially in a Forum?

Hi Inactive User ,

You can look to use the subscriptions API over here to subscribe/unsubscribe a user to a label:

https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/docs/create-user-subscriptions#section-label-subscription

curl -X POST \
    https://[COMMUNITY DOMAIN]/api/2.0/subscriptions \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -H 'li-api-session-key: [SESSION KEY]' \
    -d '{
    "data":{
        "type":"subscription",
        "target":{
            "type":"label",
            "id":"Mexico"
        },
        "board":{
            "id":"vacationBlog"
        }        
    }
}'

Thank you. Any thoughts on how I could create a link on a page with that script? I'm at a loss of where to use curl on a Community page. Component? Endpoint? Is it even valid in freemarker? Etc.

ian You can build more complex LiQL calls with this object: https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/reference/restbuilder

Would this be correct, then?

<#assign messagePostCall = restBuilder()
   .method("POST")
   .path("/subscriptions")
   .body({
            "type": "message",
            "board": {
             
                "id": "board-test"
            },
            "target": { 
                "type":"label",
                "id": "Jupiter"
                     }
        })
   .admin(true) />
<#assign resp = messagePostCall.call() />

Hi Inactive User ,

Yes, this should work in the endpoints., i.e. you can call a custom endpoint on link click, or you can also look to create a complete ajax call with jquery(convert the curl command to javascript code) if you are not comfortable with Freemarker. But the use of the freemarker object is good as it will not expose the API and Data.

I'm very confused here; trying to do it in FM but the feedback is so limited. How can I know the structure of the call response (resp) so I can work with what's returned? I try it as a list and get nothing I recognize, plus errors. Also, how do I generate A session key?

<#assign messagePostCall = restBuilder()
   .method("POST")
   .path("/subscriptions")
   .body({
            "type": "message",
            "board": {
             
                "id": "angular-test"
            },
            "target": { 
                "type":"label",
                "id": "Jupiter"
                     }
        })
   .admin(true) />
<#assign resp = messagePostCall.call() />


<#list resp as k ,v>
k: ${k}
</#list>

This is what I get from that <#list>. Looks like a list of properties but nothing I can use, until we get to an error. 

 k: getClass k: validTemplateModelObject k: toSerializedString k: isValidTemplateModelObject k: hashCode k: equals k: get k: toString

Attempt to use a type that is not allowed: java.lang.Class

Tarun, can you give me an example of the API call in JQuery?

Hi Inactive User ,

you can try the following code in a component:

<@liaAddScript>
;(function($){
$.ajax({
type: "Get",
url: "/api/2.0/search?q=SELECT * FROM users",

success: function(data) {
console.log(data)

},
});
})(LITHIUM.jQuery);
</@liaAddScript>

Thanks, Tarun  however, where would the label call go in that AJAX call? In the success part? What would the call look like? Sorry, Khoros makes this really difficult!

Hi Inactive User ,

the API Would Goi in the URL for the Ajax call.You need to pass data as json to the ajax call.

The success message would look something like:

data:

href: "/nodes/board:board-id"

id: "board-id"

type: "node"

__proto__: Object

href: "/users/id"

id: "id"

login: "login"

type: "user"

view_href: "*****"

__proto__: Object

href: "/labels/88"

id: "88"

type: "label"

href: "/labels/88/subscriptions/2121"

id: "2121"

node:

subscriber:

target:
