create new portal in custom module

Hi,

I'm building a module that can create a new portal (like the admin/portal module). So I checked how the portals module does that and used the same function: PortalController.CreatePortal(...).

But when I run this function I keep getting a security error, which I don't understand. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Error:

Error parsing Portal TemplateViolation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_FolderPermission'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.FolderPermission'.
The statement has been terminated. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)

Code:
blnChild;string strPortalAlias;int intPortalId;string strServerPath;string strChildPath = "";PortalController objPortalController = new PortalController();//Portal Name

blnChild =

strPortalAlias =

strServerPath = DotNetNuke.Common.

false;"test213321414324";Globals.GetAbsoluteServerPath(Request);//Get Home Directory

string HomeDir = "";//Template

{

Templates.Add(

}

List<string> Templates = new List<string>();string[] fileEntries = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostMapPath, "*.template");foreach (string strFileName in fileEntries)if (Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strFileName) != "admin")Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strFileName));string strTemplateFile = Templates[0].ToString();//Create a user

objAdminUser.FirstName =

objAdminUser.LastName =

objAdminUser.Username =

objAdminUser.DisplayName =

objAdminUser.Email =

objAdminUser.IsSuperUser =

objAdminUser.Membership.Approved =

objAdminUser.Membership.Password =

objAdminUser.Membership.PasswordQuestion =

objAdminUser.Membership.PasswordAnswer =

objAdminUser.Profile.FirstName =

objAdminUser.Profile.LastName =

UserInfo objAdminUser = new UserInfo();"wimpie";"none";"wimpie2348798432";"wimpie2348798432";"willem@spam.la";false;true;"password1234";"question";"answer";"Wimpie";"None";//Create portal

intPortalId = objPortalController.CreatePortal(

"titlem321321", objAdminUser, "dsad", "adasd", DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostMapPath, strTemplateFile, HomeDir, strPortalAlias, strServerPath, strChildPath, blnChild);

bool

Re: create new portal in custom module

Better readable and complete code here:

bool blnChild;
string strPortalAlias;
int intPortalId;
string strServerPath;
string strChildPath = "";

PortalController objPortalController = new PortalController();

//Portal Name
blnChild = false;
strPortalAlias = "test213321414324";

strServerPath = DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.GetAbsoluteServerPath(Request);

//Get Home Directory
string HomeDir = "";

//Template
List Templates = new List();
string[] fileEntries = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostMapPath, "*.template");
foreach (string strFileName in fileEntries)
{
if (Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strFileName) != "admin")
{
Templates.Add(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strFileName));
}
}
string strTemplateFile = Templates[0].ToString();

//Create a user
UserInfo objAdminUser = new UserInfo();

objAdminUser.FirstName = "wimpie";
objAdminUser.LastName = "none";
objAdminUser.Username = "wimpie2348798432";
objAdminUser.DisplayName = "wimpie2348798432";
objAdminUser.Email = "willem@spam.la";
objAdminUser.IsSuperUser = false;

objAdminUser.Membership.Approved = true;
objAdminUser.Membership.Password = "password1234";
objAdminUser.Membership.PasswordQuestion = "question";
objAdminUser.Membership.PasswordAnswer = "answer";

objAdminUser.Profile.FirstName = "Wimpie";
objAdminUser.Profile.LastName = "None";

//Create portal
intPortalId = objPortalController.CreatePortal("titlem321321", objAdminUser, "dsad", "adasd", DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostMapPath, strTemplateFile, HomeDir, strPortalAlias, strServerPath, strChildPath, blnChild);

Re: create new portal in custom module

I found it:

string

strTemplateFile = Templates[0].ToString();

should be this:

string

strTemplateFile = Templates[0].ToString() + ".template";

perhaps there should be a check if the file excists in the createportal function so there will be a more clear error?
