Re: Adding Content Management to live site

Hi olinux I wonder how to do that :) i mean converting static pages to database driven web site. looking for your comments & sugessions / code Tariq olinux wrote:

Depending on the size and current format, you may want to import everything into the CMS. Might work well for searching etc. I recently converted our companies static website (11,000 pages - we're a magazine publisher) to a mysql database. Tough work, but not as gruelling as it sounds. I wrote a script to parse thru the static html files and grab the title article and date. Also made use of the naming conventions to construct the date. A couple days work to get something that worked accurately for the different article formats but well worth it. Putting together index page and archives pages is pretty much cake work. A simple query will grab todays news, the past week, a month from 2000 or whatever. You can email me if you'd like some code pieces. olinux --- Maxim Maletsky <maxim@php.net> wrote:

You could leave the site links the way they are by working out a good logic within apache's mod_rewtire routine. So, basically you would install CMS for the site and forward there the whole site's used links accordingly. It's the most elegant solution, but not the easiest to accomplish. I have done that once for a site with over 600Mb of static pages. It was a site for the printed magazine. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net www.PHPBeginner.com // PHP for Beginners

I need to add some type of Content

Management System to an already existing

site. All my client wants to be able to do is

adding new articles every week,

and have the system update the main (index) page

with those articles (adding

excerpts and keep a list of published articles.)

The criteria is that the

current index page has to stay the way it is

now, just the management has to be

somewhat automated. Right now everything is

being done manually, every article

manually linked in the index page and the little

excerpts written out by hand.

Can anyone suggest a CMS program that I can

feed the current page to and

have it work without having to rewrite the whole

site into the CMS program?
