Question

In moving some of our web pages into TWiki, I am wondering how to deal with shtml pages. The cases I am wondering how to handle are the #include of other html files, and executing cgi-bin scripts to build up the page. How would you get this functionality into a TWiki page?

Answer

Include: Use %INCLUDE{"http://..."}% to include other pages outside TWiki. If you convert pages to TWiki use %INCLUDE{"AnyTopicName"}% for the converted pages.

Executing scripts: If these are scripts called by forms you do not need to do anything special in TWiki, simply paste the HTML code of the form into a TWiki topic (make sure not to break up tags into multiple lines). Otherwise create a TWiki Plugin that does the extra functionality.
