I have created a community site programmatically and I want to add a web part to the home page using coding.

I want to add the web part above the red squared area.

How is it possible? Please help.

Got the solution by referring this and this posts, thanks a lot to them who posted.

My code is:

    SPFile file = web.GetFile("SitePages/Community%20Home.aspx");

    file.CheckOut();
    SPLimitedWebPartManager wpmgr = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
    Guid wpStorageKey = Guid.NewGuid();
    string webPartId = string.Format("g_{0}", wpStorageKey.ToString().Replace('-', '_'));

    ContentEditorWebPart cewp = new ContentEditorWebPart();
    cewp.ID = webPartId;
    cewp.ChromeType = System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PartChromeType.TitleOnly;
    cewp.Title = "Custome Web Part";
    wpmgr.AddWebPart(cewp, "wpz", 1);




   // string markup = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "<div class=\"ms-rtestate-read ms-rte-wpbox\" contentEditable=\"false\"><div class=\"ms-rtestate-read {0}\" id=\"div_{0}\"></div><div style='display:none' id=\"vid_{0}\"></div></div>", new object[] { wpStorageKey.ToString("D") });

    SPListItem item = file.Item;

    string wikiField = item[SPBuiltInFieldId.WikiField] as string;

    XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
    xd.PreserveWhitespace = true;
    xd.LoadXml(wikiField);
    XmlElement layoutsTable = xd.SelectSingleNode("div/table") as XmlElement;
    XmlElement layoutsZoneInner
     = layoutsTable.SelectSingleNode("tbody/tr/td[2]/div/div") as XmlElement;

    //changing text
    XmlElement layoutsZoneText 
     = layoutsTable.SelectSingleNode("tbody/tr/td[1]/div/div/div") as XmlElement;
    layoutsZoneText.InnerText = "This is testing";



    // - wpBoxDiv
    XmlElement wpBoxDiv = xd.CreateElement("div");


    // getting first child [if you want to put at first otherwise comment the following line.
    XmlNode firstChild = layoutsZoneInner.FirstChild;

    layoutsZoneInner.InsertBefore(wpBoxDiv, firstChild);
    //layoutsZoneInner.AppendChild(wpBoxDiv);
    XmlAttribute attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("class");
    wpBoxDiv.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "ms-rtestate-read ms-rte-wpbox";
    attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("contentEditable");
    wpBoxDiv.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "false";
    // - div1
    XmlElement div1 = xd.CreateElement("div");
    wpBoxDiv.AppendChild(div1);
    div1.IsEmpty = false;
    attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("class");
    div1.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "ms-rtestate-read " + wpStorageKey.ToString("D");
    attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("id");
    div1.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "div_" + wpStorageKey.ToString("D");
    // - div2
    XmlElement div2 = xd.CreateElement("div");
    wpBoxDiv.AppendChild(div2);
    div2.IsEmpty = false;
    attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("style");
    div2.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "display:none";
    attribute = xd.CreateAttribute("id");
    div2.Attributes.Append(attribute);
    attribute.Value = "vid_" + wpStorageKey.ToString("D");

    item[SPBuiltInFieldId.WikiField] = xd.OuterXml;
    item.Update();
    file.CheckIn("");
    file.Update();
    web.Update();
}
Console.WriteLine("Completed..");
Console.ReadKey();

This is console, you can add in event receiver or feature receiver as per your requirements.

Hope this helps others too.

We have done this using powershell for which i found a source on google.

In this they have stored webpart information in a config file and then checkout the page, then add webpart, then checkin and then approve
