This topic explains how to use Sitefinity Pages API to programmatically create new templates.
Create a new template with specified name and assign it a master page file:
| CreateTemplate(string name) |
 Copy Code |
|
// create a new instance of CmsManager
Telerik.Cms.CmsManager cmsManager = new Telerik.Cms.CmsManager();
// create a new template with specified
name
Telerik.Cms.IPageTemplate newTemplate = cmsManager.CreateTemplate("New
template");
// before we save the template, let's assign it a master page file
// master page file HAS TO BE located in root/App_Master folder
newTemplate.MasterPage = "Default.master";
// finally, let's save the template with
CmsManager
cmsManager.SaveTemplate(newTemplate);
|
Create a new template by duplicating existing template and then change the theme:
| DuplicateTemplate(IPageTemplate template) |
Copy Code |
|
// create a new instance of CmsManager
Telerik.Cms.CmsManager cmsManager = new Telerik.Cms.CmsManager();
// let's get all templates and make the duplicate from the
first one in the list
IList allTemplates = cmsManager.GetTemplates();
// create a new
template by duplicating the first in the list of all templates
Telerik.Cms.IPageTemplate customTemplate =
cmsManager.DuplicateTemplate((Telerik.Cms.IPageTemplate)allTemplates[0]);
// before we save our new template, let's change
its theme
// the themes are located in App_Themes folder
customTemplate.Theme = "Blue with right
sidebar";
// finally, we are going to save the template with CmsManager
cmsManager.SaveTemplate(customTemplate);
