    Creating Nodes and items programatically with data from website entered by user

    Hi, I need a new node and subnode to be created programatically in Umbraco

    Scenario: Website user(not umbraco user) will input some details through a webpage in our site. I need to create a node/childnodes and new items under these nodes using the data from the webpage.

    How can I do This?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I just typed you up a very simply insert. I am sure you can adapt this for your needs!.

    public static int InsertExample(int parentNodeId)
{
    var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
    var name = "Enter name of the node here"
    var data = contentService.CreateContent(name, parentNodeId, "Enter document type alias here", 0);

    //set the properties of the doument type here. Use the property alias
    //for example purposes I just assumed my document type has firstname, lastname, phone

    data.SetValue("firstName", "Peter");
    data.SetValue("lastName", "Pan");
    data.SetValue("phone", "0123456789");

    // save and publish
    contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(data);
    return data.Id;
}

    hope this helps.

    Kind Regards

    David
