after using own custom cms for over 6 years, I decided to go for Drupal from now on. I will use Drupal for all my works. I’m pretty new at Drupal, started just 2 days ago 😀

just a simple question;
I have a simple xhtml-css site (5 pages), and client is asking cms for gallery page (xhtml for now). so is it possible to make only 1 page with drupal and rest pages are using current xhtml somehow? How would I create the base with Drupal for such custom (out of Drupal) pages’ links? or do I have to transfer all other html pages into Drupal as Page (drupal page)?

ps, as a new drupal user, i didnt see anything complicated as everybody complains, it is pretty well structured-clear… love it so far 🙂 ps, i say 2 days but I had only few hours so far 🙂

Thanks a lot!!

    The Drupal URL rewriting rules only apply to files and directories that do not exist on the file system, so as long as you avoid naming conflicts, you can put ‘static’ pages more or less anywhere you like, and Drupal will not interfere with them being served.

    That said, it would probably be a good idea to consolidate them within a ‘static’ folder, either on the top level of the document root, or (more appropriate) within the ‘sites’ or the ‘files’ folder of the new Drupal install (which implies adjusting your current paths).

    However, I agree with Kevin (+1) that for only 5 pages, it is probably less work in the long run to ‘migrate’ them to Drupal right from the start, as you will save work and trouble down the road as soon as you further enhance the site.
