We’re trying to set up our Sailwave program to import into a new website based on Joomla. We are using Sailwave Importer. The .htm results file goes into Quarantine in Joomla. I tried to load up the attached recommended files into Sailwave Templates, but it wouldn’t allow it — said I needed to contact administrator. Any suggestions?

Sailwave Updates Required
To get Sailwave Importer to work automatically without Quarantining Files you will need to add some files to your Sailwave Installation.
There will eventually be a windows installer for this stage. Until this is released, you will need to manually install these files. This is a relatively simple process.
Download the files in the SailwaveWindowsFiles folder from the Sources Folder.
Copy these files into your Windows Sailwave Folder which is likely to be C:/Program Files/Sailwave/Templates
Now run Sailwave and go to View/Refresh Publish Menu

It’s hard to give you advice without knowing more about your particular Joomla installation. There are a couple of ways that people generally publish to Joomla websites. The first is just to upload to a separate folder using FTP, then implement a menu item in Joomla that points to the HTML page in that folder. This will give a completely separate page showing the results, with no real connectivity back to the joomla website, aside from the user’s back button. I recommend if you do this you use the option of opening the URL in a new window, so that the user can go back to the original website by just changing tabs.
The second option is to publish using the “Publish to a new post on your blog” option. For this, you need the URL that will open a new article on your Joomla website, and put the website editor in “source” mode. If the administrator has provided a means for you to publish articles from the website front end, you may not have this option as he may have set it up to prevent source input. You’ll have to ask him/her. One potential challenge with using this option is also that the Sailwave CSS might interfere with the Joomla website CSS, causing page formatting problems.
I’m not sure that the quarantine issue is that you are referring to. The site may be set up so that new articles need to be reviewed by an administrator prior to publishing.
Oh, and one more thing… Calum’s Joomla Importer hasn’t been updated for a couple of years. It may not work anymore. I don’t know if he’s still on this forum. Perhaps he can comment.
Thanks — I will get with my web developer with this info and get back to you.
