CCAPI Library Component

Overview

CommonSpot has an extensive API for creating content (pages, subsites, images etc...). The API can however, be a bit difficult to work with. The CCAPI is a library utility packaged with the ADF. Using the CCAPI you can complete simple tasks like creating a page easily with code like this:

metadata=structNew();
metadata.templateID=9122;
metadata.name="My New Page";
metadata.title="My New Page Title";
application.ADF.csPage.createPage(metadata);

The CCAPI is essentially an application but is located in the ADF Library in the /ADF/lib/CCAPI directory. The CCAPI components work together to make it easy to add/modify content programmatically.
