[Building Sakai] Web services questions

[Bryan Bakotich]

Amy,

You have to add a new page to the site first before you add a tool to the
page. Something like this:

// Add the page to the site
// Last param is pagelayout: 0 for single column, 1 for double
$active->addNewPageToSite($

session, "52ae25e2-e880-41fd-bf71-17b30c67af20", "Mailtool", 0);

// Now add the tool to the page

$active->addNewToolToPage($

session, "52ae25e2-e880-41fd-bf71-17b30c67af20", "Mailtool", "Mailtool",
"sakai.mailtool", "0,0");


Hope that helps!


-Bryan
