absuite-content-cli

name: absuite-content-cli description: > Manage web content in the Alliance Business Suite (ABS) using the absuite CLI — web portals, web pages, web-page categories/tags, web content blocks, web templates, website themes, web components, menu contexts, localization strings, business domains, and the full blog system (posts, authors, categories, tags, comments). Covers list/ count/search/get/create/update/delete plus service actions. Requires an authenticated CLI session (see absuite-login-cli). For atomic PATCH updates or raw HTTP, use the absuite-content (REST) skill.

Alliance Business Suite — Content Skill (CLI)

Drive the ABS ContentService through the absuite CLI's content service. This is the comprehensive content surface: web portals (and their settings/options/domain bindings), web pages, web-page categories/tags, web content blocks, web templates, website themes, web components, menu contexts, localization strings, business domains, and the full blog system. For a blog-only subset, see absuite-blog.

• For raw REST/curl, JSON Patch (PATCH), and the full DTO field reference, use the absuite-content skill. The CLI does not support PATCH — use update (PUT) instead.
• For CLI session setup and conventions, see absuite-cli and absuite-login-cli.

Prerequisites

1. Authenticate first: absuite login (see absuite-login-cli).
2. Set your tenant once: absuite config set --tenant-id <tenant-guid> (referenced below as $TENANT_ID), or pass --TenantId <tenant-guid> on each call.
3. Discover commands: absuite content list-commands, and --help on any command for its full parameter/DTO schema.

Command structure

absuite content <verb> <entity> --Param value

Verbs: list, count, search, get, create, update, delete (plus service actions such as initialize, verify, bind/unbind, relate/unrelate, reply). The canonical function-name form also works, e.g.:

absuite content Get-PortalsAsync --TenantId $TENANT_ID
absuite content Initialize-CurrentWebPortalAsync
absuite content New-WebPageAsync --TenantId $TENANT_ID --WebPageCreateDto '{...}'

DTO parameters are passed as a single-quoted JSON string whose field names match the API DTOs (PascalCase), e.g. --WebPageCreateDto '{"Title":"About Us","CodeType":"Html5"}'.

Tenant scoping (per-command)

• Tenant required — pass --TenantId $TENANT_ID on portal list/create/update/delete + settings/domain-bindings, all business-domain commands, web pages create/update/delete + relations, web-page categories/tags, web contents, web components, web templates, website themes, menu contexts, localization strings, blog categories/tags, and all blog write/relation/comment commands.
• Tenant optional — list blog-posts / count blog-posts / list blog-authors: omit --TenantId for the global view, pass it to scope to a tenant.
• No tenant — portal get current-web-portal, get root-web-portal, search-web-portal, initialize-current-web-portal; get web-portal-by-id and its options/settings reads; get blog-post-by-id and the blog sub-reads (get categories-for-blog-post, get tags-for-blog-post, get comments-for-blog-post, get replies-for-comment, author reads); get categories-by-web-page / get tags-by-web-page; and update-themes. These ignore --TenantId.

Enums

• CodeType (used by WebPages, WebContents, WebComponents, BlogPosts): Razor | CSharp | CSHtml | Liquid | Html5 | Markdown | Markup.

Critical Rules

• Authenticate first (absuite login).
• Tenant scoping is per-command — pass --TenantId $TENANT_ID where required/optional; never on portal current/root/search/initialize, by-id portal reads, blog sub-reads, or update-themes.
• No PATCH in the CLI. Use update (PUT, full object) for changes; for atomic partial updates, switch to the absuite-content (REST) skill.
• Create-and-relate vs relate-existing: create category-for-blog-post / create web-page-category-relation (with a DTO) creates a new taxonomy term and links it; relate-category-to-blog-post / relate-web-page-to-category (with an id) links an existing one.
• Note the field spelling AllowSerachEngines (the API uses this exact spelling).
• Use --help on any command for its full DTO schema and parameter names.
