I'm using codecharge studio PE, ASP with templates
some of the project i work on involve an already existing site. I'm trying to figure out an easy was of integrating a CCS app into an existing website.
when i try to include a CCS generated asp file...
<!--#Include virtual="/news/news.asp"-->
I get an internal server error.....
The only way i've been able to get around this is to take the existing site and rebuid it in CCS.. which i think is bull cuz the whole reason for using includes is to make the site easier to maintain... now.. i have two or possibly more areas where updates have to occur.. instead of just the one include file on the existing site....
hope this is clear... 
any help?

I suspect such method won't work with most Web applications, whether created with CCS or not. I just cannot imagine for example including some portal application into another portal, both technically and functionally. Application integration is sometimes very complex and some companies specialize only in this area.
Of course in some cases it may be possible and even easy to include some program into another, but you'd have to understand what both of them do, how they work, and what it is that you expect to happen after you include one into another.
The best integration of two Web applications may be via separate pages or sections of the Website, each handled by one app.

Maybe i'm not explaining it well enough.... another example i can give...
I've done it with codecharge.
say i build a small system so i can enter a link to a website, title and description. Using codecharge i can generate the file in ASP only (with out templates) i can then include that file into an exsiting website and it works. I would remove all the text formatting (i.e. <font >, etc...) from the codcharge asp file and it would also then pic up the css formatting of the site.
The problem with codecharge is i have to modify the generated asp file outside of codecharge, then if there are any changes i have to make in the app.. i have to regenerate and reformat everthing again... I like CCS in that sense cuz all the formatting can be done within CCS then generated
I'm not talking about including one app into another, just including one app into an exisiting and for the most part "static" website.
cheers,
Geary

I see. CCS supports template-based approach which may be better suitable for reverse approach - including your other HTML within CCS application, for example by creating a Label and assigning your HTML content to it.
Let's hope that others may have experience with this or other approach, and more specific suggestions.

hi together,
sorry i drop in giving my comment, but i can agree peterr
I personaly use to integrate other applications into CCS not CCS into other applications
because
1. it works allmost every time just include things into CCS not vise versa
2. i use to "change" the into CCS included files and programms to be later "real CCS applications.
