Hi Kenneth,
When you say the links table has that info - are you saying that a
direct DB call is necessary, or can the links table info be got at via
REST? When I tried I couldn't determine the necessary REST syntax.
Sorry to thread hijack, but I'm trying to achieve something similar to
Keith!
Thanks,
Robin.
