I need to create news in sitefinity database from my web application,

can I use web services to do this?

for example:
var usersService = new WebChannelFactory<IUsers>("mysite.it/.../UserProfileTypesService.svc");
            var usersChannel = usersService.CreateChannel();
            var auth = usersChannel.AuthenticateUser(new Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Credentials() UserName = "user", Password = "password", Persistent = true );

EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("mysite.it/.../");
What is the News Interface to insert in ChannelFactory ?

Or is it better to use newManager?
for example:
NewsManager newsManager = new NewsManager("News");
NewsItem newsItem = newsManager.CreateNewsItem();

In this case how can I connect to sitefinity database?


thanks!

Hello Paolo,

It is not very easy to create news items using our services, so I can recommend you to use either the Fluent or Native API. If you correctly write the code it will create all necessary records in the database. Please consult the following article:

Hello Victor,
Allthough it may not be very easy to create news using the web services, is it possible? For someone who is skilled with JSON/WCF and other scripting languages, it may be easier for them to use web services than learning and implementing the API's.

If it is possible, can you help me find a sample of HTTP Push to NewsItemService.svc that creates a News Item.

Thanks,
Dave
