The following example shows you how to modify website properties using the API:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.CMSHelper;
using CMS.SiteProvider;
using CMS.WorkflowEngine;
 

...
 

    // Get current site name (you can use code name of the required site instead)
    string siteName = CMSContext.CurrentSiteName;
 
    // Check if the site name is available
    if (siteName != null)
    {
        try
        {
            // Stop the site because we will change the domain of the site
            SiteInfoProvider.StopSite(siteName);
 
            // Get site info
            SiteInfo si = SiteInfoProvider.GetSiteInfo(siteName);
 
            if (si != null)
            {
                si.DisplayName = "New display name";
                si.Description = "New description";
 
                // Change domain of the site
                si.DomainName = "mynewdomain.com";
 
                // Save the changes
                SiteInfoProvider.SetSiteInfo(si);
            }
 
            // Run the site
            SiteInfoProvider.RunSite(siteName);

 
           lblInfo.Text = string.Format("Site '{0}' has been edited.", siteName);

        }
        catch (RunningSiteException ex)
        {

           lblError.Text = "Site cannot be started.<br />Original exception: " + ex.Message;

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

           lblError.Text = "Error when modifying site properties.<br />Original exception: " + ex.Message;

        }
    }

 

The following sample code shows how you can add a new content culture to an existing website:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.SiteProvider;

 

...

     

        // Get site and culture objects

        SiteInfo si = SiteInfoProvider.GetSiteInfo("CorporateSite");

        CultureInfo ci = CultureInfoProvider.GetCultureInfo("AR-Sa");

 

        // If both exists

        if ((si != null) && (ci != null))

        {

            // Add culture to site

            CultureSiteInfoProvider.AddCultureToSite(ci.CultureID, si.SiteID);

        }
