| Hi folks, we have a critical need to preserve some ASP pages from legacy
website (non-MCMS) in our MCMS 2002 roll-out.
Ideally, I think I would like to be able to cut-and-paste legacy code and
put into placeholder. But, this doesn't seem to work even in mixed mode. As
a test, I have a Response.Write inside a text placeholder. The literal code
(<% Response.Write("test"); %> is output in the client html, but it is not
evaluated on the server.
To make matters worse, the code in the legacy ASP pages is, of course,
VBScript.
It seems my only options at the moment are:
1) Reskin the ASP pages and place into website. But this requires massive
HTML tinkering and then these pages will not be sucked into breadcrumb and
side nav because they are not postings.
2) Create new template page and template definition for each ASP legacy page
and cut-paste ASP code into the code-behind for the template. This is pretty
time consuming and still requires that the VBScript be re-written as C#
code-behind.
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

| Hi Will,
placeholder content cannot be executable ASP code.
Only static html content.
You will have to create a separate template for each page.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Thanks. That's about what I expected. It's painful reality over here, but
at least I have some confirmation that I'm missing a silver bullet. Thanks
much!
