Hi, I'm new with REST API and Freemarker.
I'm trying to do a widget that will get all the posts with no replies on a specific board. So far this is working well, but my problem is that I need to sort these posts according to the ranks of the users who posted them.
So I should see all the "New Members" posts first, then the "Members" posts and so on.
Is it possible do do that in only one REST API call?
Thank you,
Seb
Hey Seb,
The API doesn't support ordering based on something other than message/thread date. You should be able to however to do this by iterating over the threads with no replies, retrieving the authors, and ordering it yourself based on the date that the member joined.
You should also add your idea about ordering based on other parts of a message here: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/customer-ideas/idb-p/Lithium_Ideas
Thank you,

Thank you for the answer Yurik,
I'm having problems finding what I need on this site, do you know the command to retrieve the user who posted a message?
Thanks,
Seb
You can do something like this
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/messages/id/78044/author
or even if you do
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/messages/id/78044
you will see a value of author in the response
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Chhama
