How do I get the most recent comments?

Using the example code at the bottom of my post (got it from the Lithosphere TKB) I can get the most recently kudoed messages, but I'm looking to list the most recent comments in our Idea Exchange. ...

    Hi PerBonomi 

     

    you need to access it using the standard freemarker syntax for accessing XML attributes

     

    The below example will print the view_href attribute that is contained within the message object returned by the messages/id/XX call

     

    <#assign msg = rest("messages/id/12345?restapi.response_style=view").message>
${msg.@view_href}

     

    You can find the documentation here

     

    Cheers,

PerBonomi , you can just append it to your call in the rest / restadmin freemarker function

 

<#assign messages = rest("/boards/id/Lithium_Ideas/replies/recent?restapi.response_style=view").messages />

as just 2 cents :=)

 

we need not to add "api.response_style=view" to any rest() or restadm() calls, as the backend will automatically add them.
