Location of Older but Linked Non-Concrete Pages
Permalink
Where to locate and link to old web pages for reference.
Yearly changes to webpages, with references back to previous years.
We have about 10-15 new pages every year. We have been locating each years web pages in a yearly subdirectory: Cruise2008, Cruise2009, Cruise2010, etc. These pages are all accessible to the current year's main page via specific links
We have been keeping an index.html in the home root directory which points to the current year's folder, say Cruise2010. These are all non-concrete pages.
How would I properly organize this with a new Concrete5 website for year 2011? 2012" etc? I would like to be able to link back to previous years non-concrete years and to future year's concrete pages). Where should I locate those years webpages? Where should I locate future years webpages for linking and reference?
I hope this is clear.
Thanks
Rick

This should be useful. I have used redirect commands to relocate a website to a new url and was very pleased with the successe.
Under c:/wamp/www/ I think I would like to put the web folders for each year:
Cruise2008
Cruise2009
Cruise2010
etc
Then I need to create links to each of these urls from within Concrete5 that do NOT activate the CMS system.
Also I need to create a link back to the main Concrete5 webpage from those index files in each directory.

In Dashboard > sitemap, you can create "link" pages that attach old html pages, but show up in your site navigation just like regular c5 pages. I suggest making a folder page for each year inthe C5 sitemap, then creating links to each old page.
I'm in the process of upgrading a site that had nearly 600 flat html pages into C5. The first thing I did was create a ton of links from c5 to flat pages, and now I'm changing out the pages one-by-one. Technically I could leave them but i want the consistency and tracking of having everything in c5.
Hope that helps.

This sounds a little more elaborate than I was going to do for getting it all up and running, but I like the idea of a Concrete5 webpage for each year with links back to the Yearly Folders with index.html's. I can then gradually convert as needed.
It is good to know that Dashboard/Sitemap is where I can do this.
Any suggestions for going forward in time? For example how do I move this years (2011) pages into a folder called Cruise2011? and then start the next year 2012 for example?
OR should I set it up under a folder Cruise2011 right now to start?
Since this is really a database how do I move pages that are stored in a database into a folder called Cruiise2011 in order to make room for Cruise2012 pages?
Is there any way to "flatten"' the webpage and export it from Concrete5 because it is last years material and that is archived but available for reference but no longer needs editing?
Underlying all these questions is also the thought that if the database keeps getting bigger, with more year's of material, won't it get slower?
Sorry for all the questions.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.
