How to programatically create a Manila site WAS:Re: Best place for hooking into Manila site creation?

[Roland Tanglao]

Hi David:

Thanks for the re-direct info.

I agree that my approach is back to front.  How do I programmatically 
create a Manila Website from a Frontier script? (I've searched 
Frontier-Users and Google but can't find anything! Pointers to a manual 
or anything at all would be appreciated!)

  I don't like the other approach of creating and then scheduling a task 
to delete it or force the user to pay because too many things can go 
wrong (server reboots, etc.)

Cheers!
....Roland
