I´m trying to add a group to a category via the api using postman.
Is there a way to do that ?
Yes, everything in Discourse has an API. You can learn the API endpoints for stuff you see in the UI using How to reverse engineer the Discourse API
Isn’t there a other way to do it ?
I’m trying to assign a group to a category, so only people in that group can see this category.
I know that there are some similar questions out there, where you can reverse engineer DIscourse.
I want to change the marked property on the picture
In the second picture you can see what i tried inside postman
The number used in the request i got from trying to reverse engineer it as seen in the last picture
Did I make some mistake in my put request?
The _ parameter isn’t actually required - it is just there as a “cache buster”. You can remove it.
Also, you are looking at the incorrect request in your developer tools. You should be looking at the request that happens when you click the “save” button. (You will need to tick “preserve log” in dev tools so that the request doesn’t dissappear when the page reloads). Look for a PUT request to /categories/192.
Another thing to watch out for is that your parameters need to be urlencoded. In postman, you do this by changing from “form-data” to “x-www-form-urlencoded”.
Hope that helps get you a little bit closer!
Thanks for the reply.
I can´t seem to find the right request
You should not be using the “raw” option on postman
Does it work?
And do you call your group name “1” ?
no the name of the group goes in the [groupname] section
It does work - I use that exact set up all the time.
So I could write permissons[random grop name]?
works for me - as long as the group exists of course first.
I will try that later. Thanks for the replay
It worked. Thanks man. You a lifesaver
Hola @Edwin_Silva y @mikechristopher
Estoy intentando aplicar las lecciones de aquí, pero no estoy lográndolo.
En mi caso, en lugar de CREAR una categoría con acceso de grupo, estoy AGREGANDO un grupo a una categoría EXISTENTE.
Cuando aplico las lecciones anteriores, obtengo un error que indica que las subcategorías no tienen acceso a su categoría principal.
Si especifico permissions[group_name] para cada nombre de grupo que la categoría ya tiene, no obtengo un error. Así que al menos sé cuál es el problema. Creo que estoy estableciendo solo un permiso y eliminando el resto.
Ahora me pregunto si es posible agregar SOLO un nuevo permiso de grupo sin tener que establecer todo el conjunto de permisos.
¿Estarías dispuesto a ayudar?
