Possbile Bug in REST API

[vishuvs]

Hi Guys

i was trying to use these 2 REST API getFaqs() and getFaq(), it seems like both returning same JSON object.

as documentation says REST API getFaqs() should return this JSON Array/object, something like below
[
{
"record_id":"1",
"record_lang":"en",
"category_id":"1",
"record_title":"Is there life after death?",
"record_preview":"Maybe!",
"record_link":"\/phpmyfaq\/phpmyfaq\/index.php?action=artikel&cat=1&id=1&artlang=en",
"record_date":"20091010175452",
"visits":"3"
},
{"record_id":"2",
"record_lang":"en",
"category_id":"1",
"record_title":"How can I survive without phpMyFAQ?",
"record_preview":"It\'s easy!",
"record_link":"\/phpmyfaq\/phpmyfaq\/index.php?action=artikel&cat=1&id=2&artlang=en",
"record_date":"20091014181500",
"visits":"10"
}
]
but i think its returning this JSON object below, which is same for REST API getFaq()
{
"id":"1",
"lang":"en",
"solution_id":"1000",
"revision_id":"0",
"active":"yes",
"sticky":"0",
"keywords":"",
"title":"Is there life after death?",
"content":"Maybe!",
"author":"Thorsten Rinne",
"email":"thorsten@phpmyfaq.de",
"comment":"y",
"date":"2009-10-10 17:54",
"dateStart":"00000000000000",
"dateEnd":"99991231235959",
"linkState":"",
"linkCheckDate":"0"
}

not sure how should i handle this.

need some help!

Hi,

the code is different:

Code: Select all

        
    case 'getFaqs':
        $faq    = new PMF_Faq($current_user, $current_groups);
        $result = $faq->getAllRecordPerCategory($categoryId);
        break;
        
    case 'getFaq':
        $faq = new PMF_Faq($current_user, $current_groups);
        $faq->getRecord($recordId);
        $result = $faq->faqRecord;
        break;

But I'll check this issue. How do you call the REST API?

bye

Hi Thorsten
i am using javascript/Jquery/JSON to call the REST API's and i using these json/ajax calls in cross domain, different ports model so i have to use the JSON callbacks (only workaround (ASAIK) to make cross domain ajax calls), but since phpMYFAQ currently does not support JSON call backs so i have to modify the api.php and added a call back function to it, as you can see in the code below i am using google onload call back, i also added a parameter to the REST API (mode) so REST API's can support calls with or without call back. and this change might have caused the issue that i am seeing i will debug more.
here is my code

Code: Select all

		<title><tiles:getAsString name="title"/></title>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style-new.css" type="text/css" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/impromptu.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/validation.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/json.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/common.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" ></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.min.js""></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-impromptu.js"></script>
                 <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			google.load("jquery", "1");
			var catUrl = 'http://localhost/phpfaq/api.php?action=getCategories&mode=1';
			google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
				$.getJSON(catUrl+'&jsoncallback=?', function(categoriesList){
		 		//alert(categoriesList[0].id + "" +categoriesList[0].name+  "" +categoriesList[0].description);
		 	   });
			});
			var faqUrl = 'http://localhost/phpfaq/api.php?action=getFaqs&lang=en&categoryId=1&mode=1';
			google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
				$.getJSON(faqUrl+'&jsoncallback=?', function(recentFaqList){
		 		//alert(recentFaqList[0].record_id + "" +recentFaqList[0].record_title+  "" +recentFaqList[0].record_preview);
		 		//alert(recentFaqList[0].record_link);
		 	   });
			});

and here is change in api.php mostly at last line

Code: Select all

// print result as JSON
if ( 1 == $mode )
	print $_GET['jsoncallback'] . '(' .json_encode($result). ');';
else
	print json_encode($result);

but i think you are right when i used my browser to make the call it phpMYFAQ's getFaq and getFaqs was returning correct JSON Objects.
one more thing though, currently i can get all the faq's of a category or an individual faq based on record id, is there a way that i can get like " Recenty added Faq " result set. maybe like 20 recently added faq, which can belong to any category?

thanks for your help!

we have to write a new API function for that, shouldn't be too complicated.
