Depending on the size and current format, you may want
to import everything into the CMS. Might work well for
searching etc.
I recently converted our companies static website
(11,000 pages - we're a magazine publisher) to a mysql
database. Tough work, but not as gruelling as it
sounds. I wrote a script to parse thru the static html
files and grab the title article and date. Also made
use of the naming conventions to construct the date. A
couple days work to get something that worked
accurately for the different article formats but well
worth it.
Putting together index page and archives pages is
pretty much cake work. A simple query will grab todays
news, the past week, a month from 2000 or whatever.
You can email me if you'd like some code pieces.

You could leave the site links the way they are by
working out a good
logic within apache's mod_rewtire routine. So,
basically you would
install CMS for the site and forward there the whole
site's used links
accordingly.
It's the most elegant solution, but not the easiest
to accomplish. I
have done that once for a site with over 600Mb of
static pages. It was a
site for the printed magazine.

I need to add some type of Content
Management System to an already existing
site. All my client wants to be able to do is
adding new articles every week,
and have the system update the main (index) page
with those articles (adding
excerpts and keep a list of published articles.)
The criteria is that the
current index page has to stay the way it is
now, just the management has to be
somewhat automated. Right now everything is
being done manually, every article
manually linked in the index page and the little
excerpts written out by hand.
Can anyone suggest a CMS program that I can
feed the current page to and
have it work without having to rewrite the whole
site into the CMS program?
