The following example shows how you can create a new website based on the Blank website template:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.SettingsProvider;

using CMS.CMSHelper;

using CMS.GlobalHelper;

using CMS.SiteProvider;

using CMS.CMSImportExport;

 

 

 

        // Site name

        string siteName = "testAPIsite";

 

        try

        {

            // Create site import settings

            SiteImportSettings settings = new SiteImportSettings();

 

            //Initialize the settings

            settings.SiteName = siteName;

            settings.SiteDisplayName = "Test API site";

            settings.SiteDescription = "Site for testing the API examples";

            settings.SiteDomain = "127.0.0.254";

 

            // Get 'Blank site' web template

            WebTemplateInfo template = WebTemplateInfoProvider.GetWebTemplateInfoByCodeName("BlankSite");

 

            // Template exists

            if (template != null)

            {

                // Set source file path

                string templatePath = template.WebTemplateFileName;

                settings.SourceFilePath = Server.MapPath(templatePath.TrimEnd('\\') + "\\");

 

 

                // Load default selection to preselect the objects

                settings.LoadDefaultSelection();

 

                // Create new site using 'Blank' template

                ImportProvider.ImportObjectsData(settings);

 

                // Run site

                SiteInfoProvider.RunSite(siteName);

 

                this.lblInfo.Text = string.Format("New site with code name '{0}' has been created.", siteName);

                return;

            }

            else

            {

                this.lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Failed to create new site '{0}'.<br />Web template 'Blank site' doesn't exist.", siteName);

                this.lblInfo.CssClass = "ErrorLabel";

            }

        }

        catch (RunningSiteException)

        {

            this.lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Failed to run site '{0}'.", siteName);

            this.lblInfo.CssClass = "ErrorLabel";

        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {

            this.lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Failed to create new site '{0}'.<br />Original exception: " + ex.Message, siteName);

            this.lblInfo.CssClass = "ErrorLabel";

        }
