POST_ID?

[TheWorldNewsMedia.org]

Here is what one software provider told me:

Quote

The POST_ID needs to be some unique ID for the article.

We don't support URLs as POST_ID because it's not reliable.

For the article you gave as an example, the POST_ID might be the short-name of the article in the url:

40749-seven-friends-drown-after-their-boat-capsized-when-they-huddled-in-one-corner-to-take-a-selfie

 

Or just the number from start of the name: 40749

 

You gonna need to integrate with your CMS and get the POST_ID automatically.

In IPS is there a way to correctly identify the POST_ID automatically for his script?

Thanks in advance.

This is not post id. This is topic id.

Where and how you will add script?

@newbie LAC I've added the script to the bottom of my page as an add-on     real time Chat replacement .... and recirculator.... check out

Here is my current script that is not working so well:

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id=""></div>

I left "" so that it would default to the URL... which is not recommended.

How would I reference the topic ID in this script?

I'm thinking....

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id="<topic_id>"></div>

or

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id="[topic_id]"></div>

do you know which one would work?

If this script will be work on topics pages only you can use request.id

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id="{expression="request.id"}"></div>

Perhaps this?

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id="{$topic->tid}"></div>

@MDPP that didn't work either... thanks for trying though.

Depends on where you use it. It works if you use it in the topic template, but not so much in another template. What template are you trying to add this in?

I use it in the PHP TXT widget where other scripts and HTML usually run without problem.

You use "Custom text" widget.

Use php version with next code

<?php
print '<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id="' . \IPS\Request::i()->id . '"></div>';

or if you want to use txt widget

<div class="spot-im-frame-inpage" data-post-id=''></div>
<script>
$(function() {
    $('.spot-im-frame-inpage').attr('data-post-id', $('[data-followapp="forums"][data-followarea="topic"]').attr('data-followid'));
});
</script>
