I am trying to figure out if the following is possible.

I want to integrate the Manifold Internet Map Server (IMS) into a Drupal site. Here are the requirements for the IMS:

http://www.manifold.net/info/ims_requirements.shtml

A more general question is, can you easily wrap Drupal around ASP pages? Is there a sort of ASP Page module out there that would allow this?

If this cannot be done, I wanted to at least keep the IMS on the same server that Drupal is on but maybe in a different directory. From the Drupal site at http://www.example.com/ a user could click and link to the IMS pages at http://www.example.com/ims/.

Any thoughts on this? Please ask questions about what I wrote if I've been too vague about this stuff.

Thanks.

Drupal runs fine on IIS and windows (or so I've been told), but you lose some nice features such as cleanurls, imagecache (great image api wrapper for CCK), and maybe other things.

I do not know of, nor have I ever search for an ASP filter, so no help there sorry.

If all else fails, you can simply wrap a call to custom asp pages to grab the map servers data and embed this into the content area of your drupal site.

I just gave some directions (very simple step outlines) for including a offsite page into a page, http://drupal.org/node/267665, the same logic would apply.

And Drupal never interacts with subfolders, and runs great for a subfolder, so your last point would work fine.

Hey,

I just wanted to let you know I have spent the last couple years integrating Drupal and Manifold for a company internally and been very successful.

I have managed to port just about all of the existing functionality, add point functionality (using drupal content types), and all kinds of other features.

I am running Drupal under Windows Apache/PHP and using the PHP COM functionality to make all the necessary calls to the Manifold API.
