<# .Synopsis Build-PorteoSite -TenantUrl "https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com" -Credentials (Get-Credential) ` -SiteName "Site1" -Title "The Site" -Owner "name@mysite.onmicrosoft.com" -Type "TeamSite" ` -SrcConnection $srcConnection .Description This function builds a *Porteo* site. A *Porteo* site is a ***SimpleSharepoint*** base site, based on either a **TeamSite** or **ComunicationSite** template type and has the following ***SimpleSharepoint*** lists: * Site Assets (SiteAssets) * Documents (Shared Documents) * Journal * Requests * SiteCollectionList * Links * SubsiteLists At this point, you would create this base site, then add contents to the above lists. You may also add some other lists, add to the _SiteAssets_ and any other *Pages* with content and branding. This created and modified site will be used to provision other sites on other tenants. To provision a new site, you extract a template from the desired site using Get-SSPSiteTemplate with a file name (.pnp extension) and now use the `-Template` argument to specify this file and use the `-TenantUrl` and `-Credentials` arguments to create the site on the target tenant. See the series of Examples below to see the process and sequence of operations. Then the target site is provisioned from the site associated with the template file. The site Pages are copied as well as the Pages' contents. Furthermore, the *Porteo* standard lists, which are listed above, have their structure and contents copied. The examples provide in sequence the process by which you may create a base *Porteo* site, modify it, and then use the result to provision another site. ***Note***: If the tenant site already exists, this function will return with an Error. You must either delete the target site first, or give use a different name. .Parameter TenantUrl This parameter holds the tenant adminstrative site url, e.g. https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com .Parameter Credentials This parameter holds the credentials for the tenant adminstrator. .Parameter SiteName This parameter holds the name of the site to be created. .Parameter Title This parameter holds the title for the site to be created. .Parameter Type This paramter holds the type of site to be created, e.g. TeamSite or CommunicationSite. .Parameter Owner This paramter holds the owner of the new site, which is an email address. .Parameter Template This paramter holds the template file. .Example $dstCreds = Get-Credential Gets the tenant credentials to to build the new site. .Example $newSiteUrl = Build-PorteoSiteFromTemplate -Template /tmp/template.pnp -TenantUrl "https://client-admin.sharepoint.com" -Credentials $dstCreds ` -SiteName "new-site" -Title "The New Site" -Type "TeamSite" ` -Owner "admin@company.com" Builds the new site "New Site" at https://client.sharepoint.com/sites/new-site and provisions it from the template file. #> function Build-PorteoSiteFromTemplate { param( [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $template, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $tenantUrl, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $credentials, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $siteName, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $title, [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $owner, [parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Default is TeamSite")] [string] $type = "TeamSite" ) $baseUrl = $tenantUrl.Replace("-admin", "") $siteurl = "$baseUrl/sites/$siteName" Write-Host "Establishing Connection to the $type site '$title' at $siteUrl" $connection = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $tenantUrl -Credentials $credentials -ReturnConnection $site = Get-PnPTenantSite -Url $siteUrl -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if (-not $site) { $handlers = Get-PorteoDefaultHandlers Write-Host "Creating $type site '$title' at $siteUrl" $site = Add-SSPSite -Owner $owner -Url $siteUrl -Title $title -SiteName $siteName -Type $type -Connection $connection if ($site) { $siteUrl = $site Write-Host "Created $type site $title at $siteUrl" Write-Host "Provisioning $type site $siteUrl" $destConn = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteUrl -Credentials $credentials -ReturnConnection $ignore = Set-PnpSite -NoScriptSite $false -Connection $destConn $ignore = Add-PorteoSiteDesigns -Type $type -Connection $connection $ignore = Invoke-SSPSiteTemplate -FileName $template -DestConnection $destConn -Handlers $handlers Write-Host "Provisioned $type site $siteUrl" return $siteUrl } else { Write-Host "Did not create $type site $siteUrl" } } else { Write-Host "Cannot create $type site $siteUrl as it already exists." } } |
