Using Cumulus software in Joomla 2.5 wetsite

Post by Rev320 »

Can anyone give instructions on using Cumulus code in Joomla? How are the files uploaded, and where are they placed. Perhaps there is an extension needed. If so, can someone recommend one? Thanks.

Do you thinking of using the html files that cumulus uploads to you're web server and insert them in to joomla?
In that case you can define in which folder/directory you want them to be placed.

Have you read this: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Simple_Website_setup

But joomla is a real nice content management system, why not try to use some real nice template that you can customize and insert some cumulus data in to.
In that case you probably can use php webtags together with some extensions.

I can't tell you exact how, or which extension that is best.
But you can try some of these: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... in-content

Info about php and cumulus webtags can you find here: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Php_webtags

I have only used joomla 1.5 and it was a while ago.

This is an example:

- Data to show: http://www.meteotortosa.cat/liveview/strict.htm

Then, in adminstrator

Menu
- Main Menu
- New -> External Link

And then -> http://www.meteotortosa.cat/web/index.php

P.D.: this is my old web, the newest is http://www.meteotortosa.cat/web3/
