note

Community Managers can edit other members posts as well.

Steps to edit a post

1. Create a EditPostRequest object using EditPostRequest.Builder class by passing all the required parameters.
2. Call editComment() function using the instance of LMFeedClient.
3. Process the response (LMResponse<EditPostResponse>) as per your requirement.

CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
    // create a list of the attachments of type [Attachment](../Models/post-model/#attachment)
    val attachments = createAttachments(mediasPicked)

    // object of EditPostRequest
    val editPostRequest = EditPostRequest.Builder()
                        .postId("ENTER POST ID") // id of the post to be edited
                        .text("ENTER POST TEXT") // updated text of the post
                        .attachments(attachments) // updated attachments of the post 
                        .heading("ENTER POST HEADING") // heading of the post
                        .build()
    // get response (LMResponse<Nothing>)
    val response = LMFeedClient.getInstance().editPost(editPostRequest)
    if (response.success) {
        // your function to process the response data
        processEditPostResponse(response.data)
    } else {
        // your function to process error message
        processError(response.errorMessage)
    }
}

note

You must send the text and attachments as it is if you don't want to update them, otherwise the text and attachments will be set to empty.

Additional Features

Tag a User

To tag a user, use the getTaggingList() function to fetch the list of users that can be tagged, and use the format <<[user.name]|route://user_profile/[user.sdkClientInfo.uuid]>> to embed it inside the text of the post.

Decode URL

To decode a URL, use the decodeUrl() function to decode a URL and get its OGTags. Use those to add an attachment of type 4.

Add a Topic

Topics are keywords related to a post, they can be considered having the same use case as hashtags. You can add a topic to the post by sending the topicIds list in the EditPostRequest with the topics you have fetched using the getTopics().
