[Building Sakai] add a new tool into the selected sites

[Steve Swinsburg]

The general rule of thumb is that you don't add stuff to the database directly, ever.

The web service you want is
addToolAndPageToSite
It may be in trunk only, so just lift that whole method from SakaiScript.jws and add it to your own version.

Checkout the links Sam posted, there are examples there on how to do things as well as links to scripts you can use to batch this up, ie via perl.

Cheers,
Steve

Our Fall course sites have been already populated based on our scheduled timeline. We consist of several small liberal colleges and some of schools want to add new tools into Fall course sites, but some of them don't. I knew I can use !site.helper for all sites, but I don't know how I can add these new tools into only the selected course sites. Please advise me and thank you.
