message 1: by Gregg (new)

Gregg (greggmarshall) | 105 comments I'm confused by the parameters in the documentation.

There is a sort parameter that says
• sort: Field to sort topics by. One of 'title', 'updated_at', 'views', 'comments_count'

I don't see any fields in the response that correspond to all 4 fields that make any sense.

There is a title field in both the group_read/book record(s) and there is a title field in the members/group_user records

There is a updated_at in both the folders and group_read records.

I don't see a views field in the response at all.

There appears to be a comments_count in the members/group_user records.

I am totally confused how the sort will work and what it affects.

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I think that maybe the order of the topics within the group. I'm not sure though, I'll make a ticket to clean up the documention on that.

Gregg (greggmarshall) | 105 comments thanks.


message 4: by Ettore (new)

Ettore Pasquini Actually I think that the sort option doesn't belong there: the group/show api doesn't return any topics, just folders.

Gregg (greggmarshall) | 105 comments From what I can tell by experimenting it seems to be ignored.

Update the API docs???
