Lithium API to create a module to get the 3 most recent posts on other server

Lithium API to create a module to get the 3 most recent posts on other site

    You will need to traverse the response object to find out the data you want

     

    Examples:

     

        success: function(data) {
		var resp = data.response;
		
		alert("Response status is: " + resp.status);
		alert("Response messages: " + resp.node_message_context.message.length);
		alert("First message subject : " +resp.node_message_context.message[0].subject.$);
		 
    }

     Of course the above are merely examples and should not be used in production - but it gives you an idea.

Hi Mayank,

 

thanks for the additional details. The easiest way could be to implement the "Latest Topics" activecast widget. If you download the PDF attached in this article you will find all the steps for the implementation at pages 4 and 5.

 

Let us know if that helps,

    Hi mayank, since you're doing a cross-domain request, you may need to explicitly set the dataType to jsonp. If I recall correctly, XML/HTML is not valid for cross-domain requests. To get JSON data back from the REST API you can add restapi.response_format=json to your request.

        I think you'll need to close your ajax call (seems to be missing a "});" at the end), but otherwise it looks ok. Is it not working for you?
