Hi All.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how best to do this.

We have an existing directory on our server called ‘shows’, within that folder there are a number of folders named by year containing mini websites.

So the address to a particular years show would be:  mysite/shows/2010/
 
I am in the process of creating an overall index of all the shows using expression engine so I have created a template called ‘shows’ and an index page that will list all the shows give details and link to the mini sites contained within the existing server directories.

Obviously as I have created a template called ‘shows’ the url mysite/shows/ now loads the template which is fine however I still want to access the original mini sites in the static directories (mysite/shows/2010)  how is this best done?

Thanks very much.

Joe

Hi, Joe.

That’s going to be problematic. When you say mini-sites, what do you mean? Could you convert them to be an entry in EE?

Thanks for getting back to me.
It would be very time consuming to recreate all the websites.
Would using an htaccess file work?
otherwise i guess i would have to keep the ‘show’ directory out of the EE templates and forward to it.

thanks for the reply

( mini sites are say 20 page static or php driven gallery type websites )

Hi, joemo.

I suspect you’d have to keep them outside of EE, or the easiest thing would be to install EE in a folder.
