    ColdFusion hosted on BC

    William Noel Community Member

      Client has old site build with ColdFusion.

      Can I import this site into BC server?

      Can I build a new site in Dreamweaver using the old files for content?

          Hi Will,

          Have you not asked this question before in regards to PHP a little while ago?

           

          Like with PHP or any server side coding - You can not install this on BC. IT is a SAAS - Software as as service and a closed system. You can not access the server side code.

          It is also a .NET based system setup and server so other sources like PHP and Coldfusion will not run under this environment anyway.

           

          In terms of using DW you can take the rendered pages from a ColdFusion site and certanly convert it into a BC site. I have done this before. Any extra work you need you can develop ColdFusion code that runs on your server and API's into your BC site if you need to as well.

           

          Does that cover it for you, any other questions in regard to this?

            Liam,

             

            Thanks for clearifying this - That was not me regards the PHP question.

             

            Taking the rendered pages from the ColdFusion site is what I need to figure out.

            So then do I just FTP it to my local thru Dreamweaver and then use the pages for content?

            I can then but new site on BC which will not be ColdFusion.

              You would get all the coldfusion stuff and you need what it renders out.

              If you are on a map you can use this tool :http://www.sitesucker.us/mac/mac.html

              Sucks the html etc from a site.

              Not sure on a PC version, you will need to google.

               

              Once you got that you can stop building your site fresh and use that as reference through DW and the BC Extension.

              Where you got news thats repeated etc build web apps and start forming it up where a footer is a contnet holder in templates, templates formed, pages built up, menus created etc.

               

              Hope that helps, good luck.
