using CategoryService from webscript

[orha]

Hi again.
Sorry to bother you twice a day, but I have one more question I couldn't find the answer to: I want to use categoryService API to add a new category from my webscript. I tried using:

function addCategory(newCat) {
   var tags = search.luceneSearch("PATH:\"/cm:generalclassifiable//cm:Tags\"")[0];
    var newCategory = categoryService.createCategory(tags, newCat);
   return newCategory;
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Where Tags is the category under which I want to create the new category, and newCat is a string with the name of the new category.
When I run it, I get an error saying that categoryService is not defined.
Is there a way to use cateogryService? Is there anything else I should try?

Thank you!

Hi,

you can't use that right out-of-the-box.
Have you looked at the JavaScript Classification API, does that solve your problems?

If it does not help you, then you first need to make categoryService available to your web script.

Thank you!
I did what I needed with the javascript API, and it worked magnificently.
