    Hi, I’m doing up a small site, only half a dozen pages. I only need to use EE for one page. So, basically I have all of my pages set up in the main site directory as page1.htm, page2.htm, page3.htm, etc.

    Is it possible for me to make an ee page template which would be ee.php/main/index.php or something and have that embed into one of my other webpages? I thought maybe just grabbing it with a php include would work. Didn’t seem to work for me.

    Help? I’m sure this is super basic

    Why not just pull the entire page into EE?  Even if you made one template for the whole page it’d be easier than trying to piecemeal EE and static HTML together.

    For that matter - with a bit of work EE could just drive the whole site—since you’re using EE anyway it seems like a waste not to.

    yes, I could drive the whole site, but there are two folks updating it. One of which is used to Adobe Contribute, so I’ll just let them use that.

    Sorry, thought this was a common practice by some people. I guess I could use an iframe, but yes, just putting the whole page into the template will work.
