Hello all,
Does anyone know how to add "favorite"/"like"/"share"/"comment" for existing post ?
I tried searching through the rest api but there is no information about this.
Also using hook portlets is not an option because it's too risky. We are trying to implement it using custom html design and javascript code. but I could not find much information how to do it.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Daniel -

You can create a favorite relationship with a post by using the following REST api:

POST http://webexsocialserver/api/quad/rest/users/@me/favorite
Accept:application/json
content-type: json
{   "destination": {
"id": "123",
"resource": "http://quad.cisco.com/schema/1.0/post"
}
}

The id in the Request body is the ID of the post you want to favorite.

You can read more about this operation here : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/collaboration/ecp/api/3_0/ref_guide/user_operations.html#wp1884018

You can comment on a post by using this api:
Request

POST http://webexsocialserver/api/quad/rest/posts/400006/comments

Accept:application/json

Content-Type: application/json

{
    "body":"New Comment"

}

You can read more about this here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/collaboration/ecp/api/3_0/ref_guide/post_operations.html#wp1091378

To share a post, you use the update a post API, and update the permissions on the post. You can see an example here:

hope that helps -

Hmm, I tried the rest call with Firefox REST client and it raises the following error:

<ns2:response>
<statusCode>500</statusCode>
<startIndex>0</startIndex>
<itemsPerPage>0</itemsPerPage>
<totalResults>0</totalResults>
<filtered>false</filtered>
<sorted>false</sorted>
<serverMessages>
<code>QUAD-500</code>
<description>Internal server error</description>
<message>Error: could not match input</message>
</serverMessages>
</ns2:response>

I'm using it with Basic Authentication and Content-Type: application/json.
My input is:

{ destination:
{
"id": 500002,
"resource": "http://quad.cisco.com/schema/1.0/post"
}
}

Can you provide any clues ?

Daniel -
Are you still having trouble with this or did the answer to the login question help resolve this one also?
