Hi all! I was given a project where I need to take a site built by another company that uses Drupal. The site exists and currently, they have tweaked the Zen template to customize their site theme. On this site is a link that is currently going to another directory of standard HTML pages. These flat files are in another foreign language.
My task is to take those flat pages and implement it into Drupal using the same theme as the main site. I have gone through some tutorials i found online as well as replicating a project from the O'Reilly book on Drupal. I am starting to understand how and where things are at, thanks to the O'reilly book. My question is in regards to this existing site.
The original designers already have a structure in place with the current site. At the top are links to other foreign language sites.
I want to basically "duplicate" the existing site and then have the link on the main site "link" to the "duplicate". To me, it seems logical to just download another instance of Drupal and repopulate that site, but I don't have the DB information (only admin login and ftp access, no cpanel access) to the main site.
Or do I need to put the pages within the same site? I'm not sure how to attack this problem. My boss wants to know ASAP if I can do this task or not. I'm willing to learn and would like any advice you can point me to the right direction.
