scele post

Start a new discussion in a forum.

post starts a new discussion in a forum. It takes the forum id plus --subject and --message.

This writes to SCELE and is visible to everyone in the course, so it requires explicit confirmation: either --yes on the command line, or answering the prompt when you are on a terminal.

Usage

scele post <forum_id> [--subject <subject>] [--message <message>] [--yes]

Arguments

Argument Required
forum_id yes

Options

| --subject | value | Thread subject text. | | --message | value | Body of the post. | | --yes | flag | Skip the confirmation prompt. |

Example

scele post 17474 --subject 'Hi' --message 'Hello' --yes

Output

Output of scele post

Returns:

ActionResult & {url: string}

ActionResult

Field Type
ok boolean
action string
... command-specific fields

Notes

  • To reply inside an existing discussion, use reply instead: post always creates a new thread.
  • The message is sent as-is; SCELE renders it with its own formatting rules.
  • There is no un-post. Check the subject and message before you pass --yes.
