[Building Sakai] Change the Site URL

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Wellington,

Ok I think I understand now, you only need one or a couple of tools  
copied across between sites without duplicating the rest of the  
content that comes along with it right?
If so, you can just copy the tool settings from one site to the next.  
This would be pretty simple scripted via the webservices although you  
might need to create one. You could borrow the idea from  
addNewPageToSite and addNewToolToPage.

Alternatively, you can setup the web content tools to be setup with  
the URL already and register them as tools. They can then be added to  
a site like any other tool.
Check out the article here:

configured+web+content+tools

cheers,
Steve
