Incorporating plain html pages into CMS

[shtepawski]

Hello.

A have a question on incorporating a dozen of HTML pages without any CSS styling into CMS.

For example i have a bunch of man pages in HTML or a library pages linked altogether (i.e. Prev, Next, ToC) or whatever. And my aim is to show the content of those pages on my site inside the content block of CMS exactly the same as for other content, i mean pages, news, etc.

What is the correct way of doing it so the design and the site markup remains the same, but the body of a HTML page is shown in the preferred block?

Please suggest. Your help is appreciated.

There is no easy way of doing that. You will need to create a template that emulates the current design then migrate the content into each page manually. To make it easier for yourself, create css styles for the content. It will be a bit more work at the beginning but will save you a lot of time when styling each page.

I think on if it's have anything to do with the content tag

User tag does the include of content of a file (text or html), then passes it to content through smarty..

My suggestion would be to just use CMS Made Simple for the whole site, copy what you have in the html pages into pages in cmsms and be done with it...

Yes it's ok but what if have a lot of pages. I mean 100 Mb, 1000Mb or more?
Say it may be a library with the pages grouped by topics with their own index files.

I surely can just leave it as is, no design and feutures within the cms site, but it's not the best choice for me.

There is the {embed} tag, extensions > tags...

Hello.

{embed} is ok, but the problem is that it uses frame html tag. Though it's not possible to provide the information on the page included to the search engine except letting it to index the HTML page itself which in our case looks very different from the main site.
