          curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'postid=53&wsfunction=mod_forum_add_discussion_post&subject=Hi&message=hello&wstoken=ffbe3a3002f235bf9d01fd9369e10b66' | python -m "json.tool"

      12. Check that the post was created in the Moodle web interface
      13. Check in the activity logs that there are new entries with origin WS: Post created and Some content has been posted.
      14. Repeat the curl call but using the other user token
      15. verify that the message is also created
      16. Run the same curl request but using the postid of the forum using visible groups (use the token of the user that created the post)
      17. Verify the post is created
      18. Run the same command but replacing the user token with the other user token
      19. You should receive a nopostforum error since you are trying to post in a discussion that belongs to a different group
      20. Run the same command but replacing the postid with the id of a post created by the same user that the one the token belongs to
      21. Verify the post is created
      22. Repeat the 6 last steps with the separate groups forum
      23. Now as teacher or admin create a new discussion in the news forum
      24. Run the curl request with a student token replacing the postid with the postid for the new announcement created:
      25. You should get an exception: nopostforum

      This function will be used for creating new posts into an existing discussion.

      Parameters:
      postid (post to reply, the initial discussion or any post within the discussion), subject, message, options

      Response:
      Same response that get_forum_posts but only including the post created

      Initially, we won't support attachments or another advanced features.

      We will used a generic parameter "options" for parameters like groups or future functionality like the ones mentioned above. This will make very easy to maintain the function without further API changes
