    Hi.

    I bought for my clients nice PHP application on CodeCanyon, nothing fancy, a small booking engine. Unfortunately it is quite badly coded so I'm not even considering re-factoring it to ModX.

    So here is my question - is there another way to make external PHP application work in Modx?

    Did I mention that I'm stubborn and not considering other CMS? ;-)

    Any input is appreciated.

    Cheers.

        Thanx Bruno, I was thinking about it. I really don't like iframes thou, they always seemed to me more like a hack than a concept. What's more I believe that this little app uses iframe already so managing two iframes.. yikes!

        Thank you anyhow for your time and effort.

        Cheers.

          Very much depends on the application. If it's just simple PHP you may be able of including it through a component that does nothing more than include the main php file. But if it's more complicated, as multiple pages etc, an iframe is probably easiest.

            Thanx Mark, I was afraid that this will be the case.

            Thank you for your effort, and I must say, love your ModX work.
