Re: [SPAM] - Manually creating containers through code (programmatically)

Thanks for the quick response. I will need to explore this route to see 
if its suitable.

Is it possible however to create site pages and containers within them 
all programatically - without ever visiting the site? In your example 
below I presume this site and containers have been declared previously 
and your simply adding to them.

I will need to ultimately create an instance of the page as though it 
had been executed - allowing the code to run to setup all the 
containers, and then populate some specific ones. He main thing is that 
I need to plug into Jahia's code far enough up the chain that the pages 
are setup in precisely the same manor as they would be if I selected 
them manually.

Any ideas?

PS I apologise if this post is a little short sighted. I have yet to 
look at the API documentation for creating pages.

Thanks,

Richard.
