Thanks for all the help, turns out it was because I hadn't installed the dependencies for write-api 😑
how can I list topics in a category?
-
I want to list topics in a category on a custom page. I want the title, author, data and content to be showed. I basically want all the announcements on the front page. Is there a easy to do this without making a plugin or something?
-
most likely you'll need a plugin but it shouldn't be a hard task. I would love to work on this but would need some pointers
-
You'll need a plugin. Do you want a custom page, or a category as your homepage? They're done differently.
-
@yariplus since category as homepage is coming in the next release, thanks to you :), what steps would i have to take in order to have the api also return the main content for each topic in that category?

The change is transparent to the api, a call to yourdomain.com/api will return the category data along with the topics summary, the exact same data you would get if you called yourdomain.com/api/category/1/categoryname
-
@yariplus right but what if I would want yourdomain.com/api/category/1/categoryname to not only return a list of topics but also the mainPid's content of each topic?
-
@agarcia17 afaik, there is no way to do that with a single call. It does give you the mainPids, so you could do another call to api/post/pid
-
If you change the teaser post to first in the ACP it will return the content of the first post instead of last.

@baris awesome! i didnt notice there was an setting for that! thanks! I will give that a try later on today or tomorrow, but since its only a teaser i will probably need to make a modification on the 'teaser' function to have it return the full post instead, correct?
-
The returned teaser has the below data so you might not need to change anything.
"teaser": { "_key": "post:38335", "pid": 38335, "uid": 2962, "tid": 6400, "content": "<p><a class=\"plugin-mentions-a\" href=\"https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris\">@baris</a> awesome! i didnt notice there was an setting for that! thanks!
