function example_create_site in Hosting 7.4

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 7.3 hosting.api.php \example_create_site()

Easily create a new site and a platform by passing just a name and a makefile URL.

To get a new website running from a new codebase in Aegir, you need to create a platform, and then a site node. With the latest version, you can use code to do both at once.

This function will create a platform node for /var/aegir/mywebservice/$name using the $makefile specified, and will then create a site node with the URL $name.mywebservice.com.

Code

function example_create_site($name, $makefile) {

  // Create site node.
  $site = new stdClass();
  $site->type = 'site';
  $site->title = "{$name}.mywebservice.com";
  $site->status = 1;
  $site->uid = 1;
  $site->client = HOSTING_DEFAULT_CLIENT;
  $site->site_status = HOSTING_SITE_QUEUED;

  // Create a platform node.
  $platform_node = new stdClass();
  $platform_node->type = 'platform';
  $platform_node->title = "mywebservice_{$name}";
  $platform_node->publish_path = "/var/aegir/mywebservice/{$name}";
  $platform_node->makefile = $makefile;

  // Attach platform node to site node:
  $site->platform_node = $platform_node;

  // Save the site node, along with the platform.
  // This is possible thanks to the patch in https://www.drupal.org/node/2824731
  if ($site = node_submit($site)) {
    node_save($site);
  }
