ISSUE SUMMARY:

First of all we are technical people and develops on joomla platform. I am finding api or code sample about how to post to a group outside of jomsocial. I checked this documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Stream_API_v2 but didn't help.

Hi,

If you wanna use our sharebox UX that is not possible, but if you wanna only post the data to database I think our API is enough documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Stream_API_v2 , and dont forget to add the groupid parameter, like this :

//....
// the rest code above
$act->app = 'groups'; 
$act->groupid     = YOUR_GROUP_ID;
 
CActivityStream::add($act);

Thanks Dimas.

Just another small query: what's extra parameter I need to add for video posting ? example youtube video url that jomsocial supports

BTW, I think you can update the documentation page about the group posting with the api, it will help other not to ask in forum.

for video its really tricky, because you need get the thumb and save it to the videos table, and we dont have API for video processing for now

I am a programmer, you can refer me some sample code or code location line numbers , I don't need 100% working sample but sample code that can lead me.

please you check this file components/com_community/controllers/videos.php and look this function :

public function link()
