I've set up the Umbraco webservices environment on my website. Through the DocumentService I am able to add a new document to the content tree.
To add a document to the tree, I need to specify the DocumentTypeId. I can get this manually, by checking the nodeid of the document type I want to add through the Umbraco CMS interface, but is there a way to get these programatically, by alias, through the webservice? Or is it only possible with the standard API (DocumentType docType = DocumentType.GetByAlias("Message"))? To get that information I would have to write my own webservice.
And I would also like to create a microsite using the webservices. Adding a new document to the root of the content tree is working (specify -1 as the ParentId), but is there also an option to add a hostname to this new root through the webservice, or trough the standard API? I couldn't find this option in the documentation or by searching through the API anywhere.
If you have any suggestions on how to achieve this, thank you in advance.
