classic ASP
Permalink
I run a site that is built in HTML, JavaScript, ASP & ACCDB databases.
I know ACCDB databases are not the best for a website but various offices maintain the databases and I simply upload them to the site to update contents of the site.
The communications department has decided to redesign the site. Concrete 5 was mentioned as a CMS to build the site. Other CMSs have been mentioned. What I need to know is if I will still be able to add classic ASP to the pages built in Concrete 5 or if I will need to learn another language to maintain the functionality of the site.

Thanks much.
Do you know if there is a tool I can use to convert complex ASP pages with thousands of lines of code to PHP?

There might be some such tools but I don't believe the end result would be very optimal.
Every framework comes with their own conventions and ways of doing things. Even if you used such converter, it would have no idea what are e.g. "blocks", "single pages" and "attributes" in concrete5. It would probably just do plain conversion of your code.
I would suggest starting from scratch and learning how to use concrete5 to solve the problems at your hand. Your co-workers or possible other developers following after you will thank and hug you later.

(but please note basic theme development does not require you to know much PHP)
