Hello Magnolia Community,
I am new to Magnolia. I have learned so much in the past weeks but I need some
help regarding using Web Services to create nodes that will represent a page
and the areas and components nested within it. I have read the documentation
at https://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DEV/REST+webservices and I pretty much
understood how to create an xml document that I can push to the repository
(under Website workspace). I was able to figure out that in order to create a
node for a black page with a particular template, I can use the following xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<node>
<type>mgnl:page</type>
<name>My2ndExcentusPage</name>
<path>/My2ndExcentusPage</path>
<properties>
<property>
<multiple>false</multiple>
<name>title</name>
<type>String</type>
<values>
<value>My 2nd Excentus Page</value>
</values>
</property>
<property>
<multiple>false</multiple>
<name>mgnl:template</name>
<type>String</type>
<values>
<value>templating:pages/standardExcentusPageTemplateDefinition</value>
</values>
</property>
</properties>
</node>
.... when I use it as a body in the webservice call to create a node, it works
OK and it simply creates a blank page. However what I really wanted is a
complete page with all the nested components that I created. I tried adding
"children" elements for the component sub nodes but it does not render. Please
see the xml output of my entire page and if someone could provide me the
correct xml format that I can use to push in the webservice call, I would
really appreciate. Any help or directions would be appreciated too!
