Updating a course's title
...
...
When updating any content, the payload sent is trimmed down to only the fields being updated. To update the course created in the previous section, we use the URI sent, http:///your-domain.com/node/408.
...
your-domain.com/node/408.

Updating a course's external ID
After creating a course via web service, clients may need to update the E field, with a value associated to the external system. This update call is different than the title, detailed above. The title field is attached to the node entity, however the External course ID field is attached to the course entity, a separate collection of data. It is used for primarily for internal purposes, and is seldom changed manually. However, in this case of a course created externally via web service, there may be a need to associate the new course with an external system ID.
To update the course created in the previous section, we take the nid returned, above example is 408, and send a PUT call, via the course endpoint, to updated the External course ID field. The internal name of the field is external_id.
Info | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
It is not recommended to update any other fields found in the course endpoint, except external_id, as they are automatically created/updated when editing a course via the UI. |
