Hi, I really wish it could, but that is no longer an option. I realised early on that it wasn't going to work (well, not easily), but by that stage it was already too late (as the project was already so far behind schedule it wasn't funny) and was told to "just make it work". No doubt once the site is up and running and the dust has settled, we will review the structure and then start a new project for next year's revision, but I still need to get this current one to work.
It can be done, but I have to do so many dodgy hacks it worries me about things breaking down the track. Thanks for your reply.
