creating a discussion node

Hi,Can anyone post some code detailing how I should create a discussion node in OScript ?It's obviously different to a document, or folder, as I'm having trouble....My resulting discussions have the Type 215 node, but not the associated type 143 node.......Dave

Here's my code - it works, but there must be an easier way ?!// Create 215 nodedDiscussion = DAPI.AllocNode(dApiSess)dDiscussion.pName = 'Discussion'dDiscussion.pSubType = $TypeDiscussiondDiscussion.pExAtt1 = "0"// Create 143 Volume nodeiCreateNodeResult = DAPI.CreateNode(dDiscussion, dProjectFolder, TRUE)dDiscuss2 = DAPI.AllocNode(dApiSess)dDiscuss2.pSubType = $TypeVolDiscussiondDiscuss2.pName = 'Discussion'dDiscuss2.pVolumeID = dDiscussion.pIDiCreateNodeResult = DAPI.CreateRootNode(dDiscuss2)// Insert "root" record into DiscussionIDdbResult = CAPI.Exec( \ .PrgSession().fDbConnect.fConnection, \ 'insert into DiscussionID values ( :A1, 0 )', \ dDiscuss2.pVolumeId )The code I've got here comes out of the NodePreSubClass and NodePostSubClass of the Discussion OSpace. When I create a node using the GUI, these are called anyway. When I create a node of type 215 (or 143) using OScript, they aren't.....Am I doing something wrong ? Or is this how I'm supposed to create a discussion ?!Dave

Sounds interesting, but I don't follow....How would I use... webNode.('action-create2')(......)to create a discussion ?How do I make it call the "discussion" create2 ?Dave

You shouldn't call create2 on the discussion webnode. You should make your script similar to the create2 method.First get the LLNode for the discussion node typellnode = $LLIAPI.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( $TypeDiscussion )Alloc the new discussion node by calling LLNode NodeAlloc. Look for NodeAlloc in the create2 script for an example.Now that you have the new node call llnode NodeCreate. Once again look in Create2 for an example.The LLNode is what knows how to create the specific node type properly. This is how you should create all nodes.

You're telling me that I should create all nodes in OScript using the UNDOCUMENTED$LLIAPI.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem($Type...)followed byLLNode.NodeAlloc and then LLNode.NodeCreate 1) What is the DAPI package for then ?2) Is there any documentation on $LLIAPI I can refer to so I know what I should be passing as parameters ?3) Why isn't it covered on the SDK/Builder course ?Dave

....On my system it's actually inLivelink Module Index/kernel/subsystem, LLNodesubsystem and LLNode.......Thanks anyway. Pointed me in the right direction.Dave

Depending upon what you're actually doing you could get away with it, but it's kind of a kludge. If you're trying to put a new interface on creating a discussion, or make adding a discussion node part of some other process you always want to create you own RH that makes the appropriate calls to the API functions in LLNode. If you don't then unexpected things could occur when you try to upgrade.
