user_badges blank?

Hi, I'm attempting to create a page to show off our Superusers, and I wanted to pull their yearly SU badges to show off how long they've been in the program. I'm using the API browser in Studio to ...

    Hi Kev, I looked at this one for quite a while. This looks like an API browser issue, as the following API calls return the right data, even without credentials:

     

    • /api/2.0/search?q=SELECT+user_badges+FROM+users+WHERE+id+%3D%27238%27
    • /api/2.0/users/238

    You may also notice the API browser is showing the collection with type: "user" instead of type: "user_badge".

    Could you try putting the query in a simple component? Does the component get the right data when viewed by the user ("Lemmings")? How about other users?

    By design, we allow a user to learn about badges they haven't earned yet, but only when viewing their own badges. To make that work, the backend has different approaches for getting the data, depending on who is making the query & where. It's possible there could be an issue in just one of those approaches.

I've got data when putting it in a component. The only bit I'm struggling with now is accessing the data items in user_badges.

When I code:

 

user.user_badges.size

 

I'm given the correct count based on the data. What I want to do now is access the data for the badges.

Using a <#list> didn't seem to work so I've tried delving into individual badge items 3 different ways:

 

user.user_badges.data.items[0].title
user.user_badges.items[0].title
user.user_badges.items[0].badge.title

 

For reference, I'm trying to pull the data into a list as follows:

<#list user.user_badges.items as badge>
   ${badge.title}
</#list>

This is more trial and error than anything (and most likely my error). I've done similar before but have run a query specific to user_badges in user for specific ID. What I'm working with now is querying from a list (SELECT xxx FROM users WHERE login IN [list] etc) so it's new territory for me.

Any suggestions appreciated.
