make custom php pages

Permalink
I am just considering using C5 , and I have been searching for a couple of days on the site to find out if I can add my own php functionality to a page.

I have already got some php pages created, and now I want to wrap them in a CMS.

I am also using include files.

I don't want to have to go thru the hassle of learning to make plugins/blocks as I have the pages already coded up.

Can I easily do this with concrete5 ?

There is something like a single page that might fit your needs.
They are added quite easily and you can see how here:

You will have to put them into the single_pages directory and then add it through the pages and themes->single pages page.

You can't exactly build on Concrete5 with the idea: "I don't want to have to go thru the hassle of learning to make plugins/blocks as I have the pages already coded up."

You have to take some functions and actions into account. They might make your pages preform differently.

OK, there is hope for me yet.

I will give it a go and see if I am happily impressed or sadly dejected.

I like the marketplace idea. I have no problem paying for extras. And it seems the constructors are sensitive to the community.

I would however like to see more stuff in the marketplace. (perhaps affiliate marketing stuff?)

You mean the Ad server?

Well yeah the offering in the marketplace is a bit low, but who knows that might change over time. More and more people adding small extra's will make it much better.

if the single pages solution works for me then the first thing I will do is buy the add server tool
