I'm writing this code to import a bunch of blog entries from a csv file. I'm just having a wee problem writing the record to the database - It's not creating the SiteTree database record... it is however creating everything else ie. the SiteTree_Versions and SiteTree_Live records, Page and BlogEntry records. I can click the restore action in the CMS which seems to create the SiteTree record but I don't want to have to do that for 200 entries!

Do I need to call some other method or something on $page to insert the regular SiteTree record?

$page = new BlogEntry;

$page->Title = 'testing';
$page->MenuTitle  = 'testing';
$page->Content = 'testing';
$page->URLSegment = 'testing';
$page->ParentID  = 16;
$page->ProvideComments = 1;
$page->ClassName  = 'BlogEntry';
$page->Status  = 'Published';

$page->write();

Thanks for any help...

Try $page->writeToStage('Stage')

followed by...

$page->publish("Stage", "Live");

...if you want to publish it too

Thanks for your help, I ended up finding $page->doRestoreToStage(); which also worked. Cheers!
