Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
As per the title really, it'd be great to have the cms to edit content on one of my websites, however a lot of the site is created dynamically by asp, our server can run both though, so will it work?
Re: Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
Since CMS Made Simple relies heavily (if not solely) on the use of PHP and MySQL (or Postgres) the quick and short answer is... NOPE.
You are talking about two completely different technologies. The two systems are probably structured completely different than the other so migration would be very difficult. Your best bet is a new CMSMS install and then creating new pages based on the content of the old system.

Re: Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
I would agree with tyman's assessment. ASP and PHP are essentially two different technologies for accomplishing many of the same results, but they are not interchangeable or compatible.
I had the same question when I first found CMSMS, because my previous programming experience was all in ASP. I now use ASP when I hard-code sites, and use CMSMS (mostly) when I put together a CMS-driven site.

Thanks it made me laugh the first time I saw it. I was very tempted to get "IH8IE" for my custom license plate today when I went to go license my truck.

Theoretically I can't see why not. If you had CMSMS running on IIS then executing ASP scripts shouldn't present too great a problem. If you can run your own php scripts from within a page then asp should be no different. The server would just interpret the tags differently wouldn't it?
fyi - CMSMS does run well using IIS as the server.

Re: Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
Executing ASP scripts inside of a CMSMS page which is PHP is like trying to cook dinner on your Honda's exhaust manifold. Possible? Yes. But, that's not what it is meant to do. If you are stuck on using ASP in your CMS install find a ASP based CMS system.

Re: Hmm, can you use dynamic ASP within the CMS
I wouldn't dream of it- I like CMSMS & PHP.
One guy I work with is obsessed with ASP tho He can't code in anything else. It would be nice to be able to include some of his scripts in a good CMS. And in answer to the first post in this topic - i should be possible I think.
