Automatically Create Sites

Asked By: Morgan Curry Date: Dec 22, 2003 Category: Sharepoint Views: 311

Does any one know of a way to automatically create team sites either
through code or through sharepoint itself. I have a large client
database and would ideally like to create a site for each client
without doing it my hand.

Also I have a template that I would like each to use.

What is the catalyst/event that would cause the creation of the new
site? You can use the SharePoint API to create a new site.

I just want to run a one of program. I found this and think it might
work

SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://localhost");
SPWebCollection sites = siteCollection.AllWebs;
sites.Add(<path>,<name>,<description>,1033,<template>,true,false);

I want to use my own template as in a .stp file.

I think what he is looking for is the ability to generate sites when
some other event occurs. We've had lots of clients that want the
creation of an account in a CRM or ERP system cause the creation of a
WSS site automating this activity. Maybe I'm reading too much into the
question.

Anyway, I think that the C# API code that Dan posted subsequently is on
the right track.
