Hello !

I'm trying to migrate an old website to a Drupal-based website.

Everything is OK except it still a web-application from the old website to migrate to the new Drupal website.

Is there a way to "include" that web-application into Drupal (through an Iframe, maybe ?) or is the only solution is to fully rewrite that application to build a new Drupal module ?

Thanks in advance for any tips !

Regards,

I am working on the same thing at this very moment. I'm still getting ready to start - but my thinking was that I'd simply use the "PHP code" input format and either put the code(and all code that is included by the app) in the body of the node, or even take it one further and just create a fresh node and include("myapp.php"); and call it a day.

I'll cross my fingers for you if you do the same for me.

I have reviewed forums, modules and other posts and sofar
I do not really understand how to integrate external web site
with drupal.

I see people asking the same question (and unfortunately no answers).

http://drupal.org/node/190686
http://drupal.ro/how-to-create-a-direct-external-url-link-from-a-menu-it...

---------------
I found one place that taks about having the Menu items pointing to external
links
http://www.translationdesigns.com/en/creating-and-editing-menus-drupal

But I would like to know if there is a more complete explanation/examples
and perhaps modules.

I think my situation is very similars to others where I need the following

-----------------
Have drupal be the 'Front end menu' for my web site (the site to integrate with)
Where Drupal menu links can point to various pages on my web site.

When the user clicks on the link to my web site via drupal menu,
I would like to have a flexibility to pass in via Cookies and/or the input
URL the following information from the 'Drupal' site

a) chosen language of preference
b) any field value configured in the Profile (and populated by the user)
c) users Drupal login ID

---------
I am using (evaluating really) Drupal 6.6 with PostgreSQL as a DB engine.
I have looked at

subdomain module
pathauto module

but it does not look like they do this.

-----------

So again, any help from experienced drupal users would be appreciated
I am sure this would be of great usefullness to newbies.

Hopefully it is usefull to others (I am still in the process of implementing what I wrote in the post, so there may be quirks)
