ASP code in presentation template (tpl)

Hi

I do not know any perl and i need to convert existing .ASP pages into teamsite. Is it possible for me to develop an ASP page in visual studio then insert that code in a presentation template and make changes to it (for dynamic content)?

Put in another way: Is it possible to insert "raw" asp code in the tpl files?

Thanks.

I think SiteCore will be helpful for you in this case. Smiley Happy

Im a consultant working for a client that uses teamsite, so sitecore is not an option Smiley Sad

The last post in this thread says to it is possible, but doesn't say how.

You need to learn about XSL and or TPL. TPLs are easier read the manual. XSL are more commonly used.

You indicate TPL - which therefore means perl - and the answer is basically "yes" - but you need to learn at least some basic perl in order to do it.

I suggest you pick up a copy of Programming Perl - spend a day reading it, and looking at existing TPLs, then a day trying to write the code you need.

If you cannot solve it yourself at that point (after really trying) - post your code here (as an attachment with a .txt extension) with an explanation of the problem(s) you are running into, and someone may be willing to help you get to the next step.

Yes it is possible and not hard at all. As pointed out, learn some PERL and also, learn the syntax for Perl PT used within Formpublisher for authoring TPLs. Please refer to the Formpublisher Dev guide for it.
