Is it possible to install CMS Made Simple 'on top' of an existing database of content and use the CM tools going forward? Thanks.
i believe cmsms has it's own db stucture and may not be able to read the other one, it can be used on a shared db, step six from the HandBook page...
"Note: Some hosts only allow you to use one database. Then you will have to use that database (and the username and password that you use to login to your database). If that is the case, you can skip step 6. Only make sure to use a prefix for the tables (step 10 below) that separates the CMSMS tables from other tables that you also may be using in the same database."
