Simple : in api, how do you change the name of a board?

Simple : in api, how do you change the name of a board?

Wekan / General · March 4, 2020 at 8:51pm (Edited 4 years ago)

I do not see it in the api spec for v3.00 is there a more updated api reference?

All I want to do is leave the lists and cards and ids for everything in place and change the name of the board, through the api. I would have assume that was "put boards" with a title field in the body, meaning leaving everything else intact. If the board id and everything inside of it does not change its just an attribute, correct? LMK where I should be looking fro api doc. Thanks. Is it by chance a label?

let make this simple. what is the process to rename an existing board keeping the lists and cards and everything else intact?

11:49pm

also the api doc indicates the path identifier is" the board" not the "id of the board" which is different syntax for all the other endpoints. and when I use the board id I am getting a 500.

no it does not look like you can change any parameters like a title for a board as there does not seem to be a PUT api entry point. Its labels are not title in the Get board api endpoint

These are labels

10:44am

REST API is at wekan/models/*.js

10:45am

at those files, search for text REST API

10:45am

you can add more to there for additional API calls

10:45am

with pull requests

10:46am

cards and boards have name or title

10:47am

outgoing webhook etc all translations are at wekan/i18n/en.i18n.json

10:48am

if some translations is missing, it is added to that source file, and then translated at https://transifex.com/wekan/wekan

10:49am

Those board activities messages are at wekan/models/activities.js

10:49am

they do map to some translation name

10:50am

Outgoing Webhooks go to wekan/server/notifications/outgoing.js

It's possible to build a little faster when developing locally with WITH_API=true RICHER_CARD_COMMENT_EDITOR=false ROOT_URL=http://192.168.0.2:4000 meteor run --exclude-archs web.browser.legacy,web.cordova --port 4000

10:52am

so in that way it does not include legacy and cordova

10:53am

and because ROOT_URL is set to local ip address, it's possible to test website with mobile and desktop devices on local network

10:53am

when some file is changed, it rebuilds wekan

10:55am

At Wekan GitHub wiki is info at developer docs for Sandstorm, how to fork wekan repo, install dependencies, build, and then run meteor

10:55am

steps 3-5 https://github.com/wekan/wekan-maintainer/wiki/Developing-Wekan-for-Sandstorm#3-fork-wekan-and-clone-your-fork

10:56am

with that different meteor command above
