Show Rank icon

Hi All,

 

I made a custom call for latest post but now I need to show rank icon infront of author name. Following is the snippet I have used for post:

<#assign messages = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE author.id='${user.id}' ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 5"?url) />
<#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${author.id}/ranking")> /* rest call for rank*/
     <#list messages.data.items as recent >
     <#if recent?has_content>
        <p><a href="${recent.view_href}">${recent.subject}</a></p>
        <p>${ranking.left_image}</p>
        </#if>
     </#list>

 

Following is the example for rank icon:

rank.PNG

Above code is working fine for post, only rank icon need to display.

    VarunGrazittithanks for your assitence over this discussion also your suggestion helped me as well. Following is the snippet which works perfectly as per my requirement.

     

    <#assign messages = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE author.id='${user.id}' ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 5"?url) />
         <#list messages.data.items as recent >
         <#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${recent.author.id}/ranking/display/left_image/url").value >
         <#if recent?has_content>
            <p><a href="${recent.view_href}">${recent.subject}</a></p>
            <p><img src="${ranking}" /> ${recent.author.login}</p>
            </#if>
         </#list>

    Note: Iam just putting it here for other help.

    bhupen - Below is the updated code

     

    <#assign messages = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE author.id='${user.id}' ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 5"?url) />
    <#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${author.id}/ranking/display/left_image/url").value > /* rest call for rank*/
         <#list messages.data.items as recent >
         <#if recent?has_content>
            <p><a href="${recent.view_href}">${recent.subject}</a></p>
         <img src="${ranking}"/>
            </#if>
         </#list>

        It should be user.id instead of author.id in the following line.

        <#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/ranking/display/left_image/url").value >

        VarunGrazitti  the answer you shared was preety close to my request but when I compiled it then it was just fetching same icon for all users. After some edition I corrected it and marked mine solution because I don't want some one else will see the error in code.

         

        As I appreciated your help already. big thanks to you :)
