How do handle my old php-scripts?

[martinG]

Hello,

I've been working with Joomla before but now when I've tried this CMS I have to say I'm very impressed over its simplicity and construction.

My new CMSMS site is now beginning to take form but what are my options if I want to use my old php-scripts (with connections towards another DB and stuff)? Can I just upload them and start using them within a "Content"-page in some how or what?

Thanks for answering! / Martin

You can use UDTs (user defined tags) or place php right in your content in {php}foo{/php} after you enable it in config.

old php scripts will work.

just create a udt called "my_old_php_script"

and inside that do an

Code: Select all

include('my_old_php_script.php');

Then in your page, or template just use

Code: Select all

{my_old_php_script}

the only thing you have to worry about is conflicting variable names... (there shouldn't be many, but just to be on the safe side, don't use $db)

Regarding db stuff, that's easy. do whatever you want, and just call

Code: Select all

adodb_connect(); 

at the end of the UDT.
