Programmatically copy a site?

Help
1

Hey,

I’m working on a Team APP as an extension of Intranet content.
Is it possible to copy a site programmaticaly with pages parts… ?

My user story is something like:

  • A user on the intranet wants to create a “Team App” for its user.
  • The user goes to the profile page
  • clicks teams
  • enter a “Team name” and clicks the create button.
  • The team room is created from a “Template site”

The user has and shall not have any direct acces to the XP Admin UI.
I want every team to have a site so I can change teams parts, config and pages and have content separated between teams.

Yes, just like you can do from the admin, think you will have to invoke the contentService.duplicate in Java though…

If you have a “Template” team site, you could duplicate it first, then update it with proper members etc.

However, not sure if you should duplicate an entire site, or just a part of the tree structure, sound overkill to duplicate all templates and stuff?
