Thanks andowson. After some debugging, it looks like PostAction.insertSave is redirecting the path. So I didn't change any of its code. What I ended up doing was in the PostREST, I retrieve the post link from JForumExecutionContext.getRedirectTo() and then set it to null with JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(null). That seem to do the trick.

Here's a sample snipplet of my modified PostREST.java

public void insert() 

{

   ...

   final Post post = new Post();

   post.setForumId(Integer.valueOf(forumId));

   post.setSubject(subject);

   post.setText(message);

   this.insertMessage(user, post);



   // new start

   String postLink = JForumExecutionContext.getRedirectTo();

   JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(null);

   this.setTemplateName(TemplateKeys.API_POST_INSERT);

   this.context.put("postLink", postLink);

   // new end



   SessionFacade.makeUnlogged();

   SessionFacade.remove(sessionId);

   ...

}

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Thanks andowson for this added feature. It works beautifully. One more request if possible. Is it possible for the PostREST to return the post id or a link to the post after the insert?

I tried to mod it like UserREST, but no success. I keep getting a response of 302 Move Temporary.

Thanks,

Thanks! I will give this a try.

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can make a post from another webapp application? We have an existing web application that when a user submit a form, we would like it to make a new topic on the jforum. I have tried following the saveMessage method in InstallAction class and have successfully added the post into the database, but somehow I don't see the new post in the jforum.

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks.
