[Building Sakai] Create a site by Sakai API

[Phuc Bui]

That's great !!!

But why there's no effect ?

I'll try again. J

Would you please tell me how to add some default tools (Home, SiteInfo,
Announcement, Schedule.) ? Because when I've created a site, it displayed
"SiteUnavailable" on the left panel where is the location of tools, until I
added some tools (edit that site in Admin Workspace).

 

Thanks,

Phuc Bui

Hi Phuc,

 

This all looks good. You want:

 

addedSite.setPublished(true);

 

to publish the site. 

 

You could take a look at how the webservices do it, they are a pretty good
example of some clean concise code. Reproduced below:

                        

                        Site siteEdit = null;

                        siteEdit = SiteService.addSite(siteid, type);

                        siteEdit.setTitle(title);

                        siteEdit.setDescription(description);

                        siteEdit.setShortDescription(shortdesc);

                        siteEdit.setIconUrl(iconurl);

                        siteEdit.setInfoUrl(infourl);

                        siteEdit.setJoinable(joinable);

                        siteEdit.setJoinerRole(joinerrole);

                        siteEdit.setPublished(published);

                        siteEdit.setPubView(publicview);

                        siteEdit.setSkin(skin);

                        siteEdit.setType(type);

                        SiteService.save(siteEdit);

 

cheers,

Steve

Dear all,

I use class org.sakaiproject.site.api.SiteService to create a site.

But I do not know how to publish this site, and add some default tool for it
(ex: Home, SiteInfo, Announcement .) (of course, all works should be done by
Sakai API). I tried this class - org.sakaiproject.tool.api.ToolManager, and
see the methodregister(Tool tool), but I don't know how to use it ?

I have a part of code:

 

Site addedSite = siteService.addSite(siteId, siteType);

addedSite.setDescription("create by NLU Tool as a demo");

addedSite.setJoinable(true);

addedSite.setJoinerRole("student");

addedSite.setTitle("Demo site created by NLU Tool");

             

siteService.allowAccessSite(addedSite.getId());

siteService.save(addedSite);

 

I did it, but the site that was created by this method did not have the
title and description like this ?

 

Looking forward to your replies,

Thanks,

Phuc Bui
