SPSite Object Problem When Trying To Loop Through Sites

Question

I'm working in a Sharepoint 2007 environment. I'm trying to loop through a site, and it's subsites, and add a webpart to any pages found.

#Add SharePoint assemblies
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint.publishing")

#Get site and web objects
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite(http://test.fake.com/en-us/testsite/)

#Walk through each Publishing Web and add the content editor webpart
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) { #add webpart here }

My problem is that $site returns http://test.fake.com.. so when I hit my foreach loop it starts hitting anything under fake.com, and not /en-us/testsite/ and whatever sites below it. Is there something other than the SPSite object I should be using to accomplish what I want? Saying I'm new to this would be an understatement.. so bear with me.

Thanks for any help/insight.

Answer 1

You can start from the SPWebApplication

[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint.publishing") 

$wa = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplication]::Lookup("http://test.fake.com")
foreach ($site in $wa.Sites) {
 foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) {
  #add webpart here 
  $web.Dispose()
 }
 $site.Dispose()
} 

Answer 2

I ended up doing the below:

$site = new-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://fake.test.com")
$web = $site.OpenWeb("/en-us/testsite")
foreach ($subweb in $web.Webs)
{
 #do checking if publishing page / if checked out / add webpart / checkin and publish
 #dispose subweb
}
#dispose web && site

This allows me to target the site I was aiming for, and then go through all of the subwebs and add webparts to the pages within those. I did run into a problem checking a file in, which has me baffled as to why it's throwing an error, but I'll save that for another post & another day.

Answer 3

Try to use Get-SPSite instead of New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite(http://test.fake.com/en-us/testsite/)
