Update a stand-alone forum topic programmatically 

To update a topic in a stand-alone forum, send an updated forum topic document in Atom format to the existing forum topic's edit web address.

All existing forum topic metadata will be replaced with the new data. To avoid deleting all existing data, retrieve any data you want to retain first, and send it back with this request. See Retrieve forum topics for more information.

See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.

Table 1. Atom API request details

Method Resource URI Input representation
PUT forum topic Value of the href attribute of the <link> element that has a rel="edit" attribute value for each entry in the forum topics feed. forum topic


Input

Provide a feed link Atom entry document.

Note: The content type of the Atom entry document must be application/atom+xml.

To add an attachment to a topic entry without any, send the modified entry document with an attachment using a multipart PUT request. On a successful PUT, metadata for the attachment will be added to the entry. For example:

<snx:field name="resume" fid="id of the attached file node" ...>
  <link href="link to the attachment" />
</snx:field>

To update a topic entry that already has file attachments, send the modified entry document with an attachment using a multipart PUT request. On a successful PUT, metadata for the attachment will be added to the entry. For example:

<snx:field name="resume" fid="id of the attached file node" ...>
  <link href="link to the attachment" />
</snx:field>

Any file snx:fields that you want to keep must be present in the entry document. Otherwise, they will be removed from the entry.

To remove an attachment, remove the snx:field for the file from the entry document's metadata, and then send a PUT request.


Output

None.
