Hi Wali -
To limit the search to a category or board you will need to modify the rest call to include that scope. For example, the call for a category page would look like this:
/categories/id/[YOUR CATEGORY HERE]/search/messages/[QUERY STRING PARAMETERS]
A board will be very similiar:
/boards/id/[YOUR BOARD HERE]/search/messages/[QUERY STRING PARAMETERS]
To put the component on a stand alone page, you will need to create a new page in studio (on the Page tab). Then add the component to that page. Keep in mind custom pages are not tied to particular category/board.
Hi Kaela,
I am new to the lithosphere but found your post to be exactly what I am looking for - want to enable unanswered thread widget on a particular board. Below is my current component code, but can you please tell me where the board parameter string would go?
<#assign message_list_title = text.format("custom.top_five_threads_with_no_replies.title") />
<#assign results_list_size = 5 />
<#assign rest_query = "/search/messages?openresponse=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate&page_size=" + results_list_size />
<div class="lia-panel lia-panel-standard top-five-threads-with-no-replies-wrapper">
<@component id="forums.widget.message-list-panel" title="${message_list_title}" messages="rest_v1:"+rest_query style="slim" numMessages="conv:"+results_list_size />
</div>
Hi sgyani,
Let's assume that your board id is "board123".
Right now, your search query looks like this:
<#assign rest_query = "/search/messages?openresponse=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate&page_size=" + results_list_size />
This uses the "CommunitySearchContext" to search. To use a "NodeSearchContext", you could do something like this (assuming board id "board123"):
<#assign rest_query = "/boards/id/board123/search/messages?openresponse=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate&page_size=" + results_list_size />
Hi Adam
Thanks for that. I created the board specific custom component per your last message. But now I don't know how to add this custom component to the corresponding board only. When I try to do so in Studio, it ends up being a universal implementation based on the selected Page Type.
I logged in as Admin, went to the specific board, and selected Board Admin option. But from there, I do not have the ability to apply this custom component specifically to this board. Do you have any tips for this?
Are you wanting to have this component display on all boards and have the content shown be specific to the board on which it's shown, or do you just want to display this on a single board?
