sorting by user's rank

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

Thanks Chhama, I will try that!

I have another question.

If I show ten posts, and for each of them I make a REST API request to know the user and the rank, will it affect the speed of the widget to have that much requests?

Thanks,
Seb

You could mitigate that by creating an endpoint that makes these requests and creates the response XML you want, and then you could add caching in the endpoint.
