Show Rank icon

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>

I hope this helps.

VarunGrazittithanks for this. But its giving me null pointer exception. Following is the exception:

If iam putting check for null pointer{author.id} records stopped showing up.

VarunGrazittiI found some issue with that. Actually its only taking left_image for rank. I see threre is some other image for some user so they are using right_image as well. following is the xml after hitting the rest call.:

VarunGrazittiI want rank icon should be display as per rank. But at the moment iam only able to fetch left_image at all posts. although I have setup the code for right image as well but somehow its not getting right_image.
following is the code, can you suggest me whats wrong iam doing in it. I have called both images and also called both images:
<#assign messages = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT subject, view_href, post_time_friendly,author.login, board.id, author.id FROM messages WHERE author.id IN (${whereclause}) ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 5"?url) />
        <#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/ranking/display/left_image/url").value >
        <#assign rank_right = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/ranking/display/right_image/url").value>
                <#if messages.data.size &gt; 0>
                <#list messages.data.items as recent >
                    <#if recent?has_content>
                    <p class="fav_user_sub"><a href="${recent.view_href}">${recent.subject}</a></p>
                        <span class="fav_user_login">
                        <#if ranking?has_content >
                                <img width="40" height="40" src="${ranking}" />
                        </#if>
                        <#if rank_right?has_content >
                            <img width="22" height="22" src="${rank_right}" />
                        </#if>
                        ${recent.author.login}
                        </span>
                    </#if>               
                </#list>
                </#if>

Note:highlighted code is for rank

VarunGrazittiits not showing error but its displaying wrong rank icon.  using this code its showing following

But Correct rank icon for the user  is following:

.

Please see the following xml  where actual icon is coming. Its coming under left_image >url.

iam not sure whether it will come in right_image or url...

I see, it is because you are passing the user.id of the user in context, i.e. yourself. In the following line, you need to pass the id of the user who is the author of the post.

<#assign messages = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT subject, view_href, post_time_friendly,author.login, board.id, author.id FROM messages WHERE author.id IN (${whereclause}) ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 5"?url) />
<#assign ranking= restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/ranking/display/left_image/url").value >
<#assign rank_right = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/ranking/display/right_image/url").value>

VarunGrazittiI think there is some confusion with it. as I passed the user.id for the user that should work fine. If i am hitting the following rest:

restapi/vc/users/id/149/ranking

its working fine at browser so it should work. See the last snapshot its the result after hiting above rest call also this is the same user who is author of the post. If you think there should be some other change please suggest me

Thanks
