Serves flat HTML files, Working PHP files, or even remote website mirrors (realtime or cached) in a Drupal context.
Originally designed to just serve a subsection of legacy, malformed HTML pages under a Drupal theme, this module has been extended to enable wrapping a Drupal shell around legacy applications, (PHP, ASP, Perl) allowing most of the old functionality to keep working, without much code review needed.
Say you have a set of old pages that just can't, won't, or shouldn't be migrated into Drupal nodes.
- A Discussion board archive,
- Exported Presentation Slides,
- Files that are updated from an external tool (eg statistics dumps)
Custom, Crappy HTML, or an external PHP script
- any Web application that's too much work to rewrite.
- Even an old CGI script in another language can be 'wrapped' in Drupal
by entering the URL as a source.
Wrapper attempts to automatically take most of the hard work away from getting this done.
