post id when modifying a post

[Wormopolis]

proboards.data will provide a post-id when you are modifying a post, EXCEPT the first post of a thread.  then it shows a thread-id data value instead.  In order to push/pull plugin data, we need that specific post id right?  unless I am missing something?

Correctomundo. This is a bug according to the devs. I've submitted a bug report about this.

Thank you very much!

Hey Wormo,

Just wanted to update to let you know that this is in line to be worked on this week, hopefully we can get this done and pushed out by Friday!

[Wormopolis]

excellent. someone was mentioning to me the other day they couldnt edit a bracket on the first post and I told them it was already being looked into.

great work!

Hi Wormopolis,

I'm looking at this task, but I'm somewhat confused. When are you setting the plugin key? On page load? Or on the submit? Because AFAIK we don't provide the post or thread id like that. We do have the id in the proboards.data('route') object, but that's not the recommended way of setting plugin keys.

[Wormopolis]

not on a NEW post. currently, if you edit the first post of a thread, the post-id is NOT listed in proboards data. when I set the key data, I set it for specific post ids when modifying that post. on a new post I use the function for creating a key on a new post.

look at proboards.data when modifying a post, then look at it again when modifying the FIRST post of a thread. you will see what I mean.

Hmm, I still don't see 'post-id' anywhere in proboards.data.

Could you please give an example line of code?

[Wormopolis]

here is 'route' when modifying any post other then the first post:

['route',{"params":{"post_id":"78"},"name":"edit_post"}]

here is 'route' when editing the first post:

['route',{"params":{"thread_id":"13"},"name":"edit_thread"}]


you are correct that you dont see it when you are editing the first post... and that is what I was hoping could be fixed otherwise there is no way to get plugin data for it.

Okay, I guess we were talking about the same thing then.

Absolutely we can give you the post id. But putting it in the route is not really possible for us, because that's just determined by the URL of the current page. I can however put it in another object we have, and that's proboards.data('page').

This object already gives you the board, category, and thread objects (including the ids) whenever those objects are present on a page. For example, when you edit either a thread or a post, the relevant thread object is given.

What I'll do is add the post object to 'page' as well. You'll be able to do:

proboards.data('page').post.id
If you find it easier to use than the route object, you can use a similar syntax for getting the thread object:

proboards.data('page').thread.id

if it makes it easier for you Im all for it. I wasnt using it for setting a key either (I think you were concerned earlier). Im using it to retrieve data so they can make changes to that key data.. but I couldnt find anywhere that had a post-id when on the edit post page of the first post.

I just got back from knoxville (btw dont ever have a connection in Chicago OHare airport - worst airport in the country) so I can resume writing tonight.

Thank you for the help!
