Publish Results To A Blog Help

Imported from Yahoo

Hi there,

We are trying to publish results to our Woollahra Sailing Club Results page (a wordpress website) and after clicking ‘publish’ in Sailwave we are taken to the URL of our website where we wish them to show up but they don’t seem to appear.

Any tips?

Cheers,

WSC

Hi Woolhara SC,

You publish results to your club website using FTP not a web site

URL. So you need to agree what folder the results will be stored in
on you club web site and you will need to know the user name &
password for the FTP service. Once you have this information it is
entered on the FTP tab of the Global options.

If this is what you already have set up I apologise. Things to check

as the HTM page is not appearing:

  •     check the file being uploaded is actually in the place you

    think it should be, i.e. is the folder path on the FTP tab of
    Global Options correct.

  • try using passive transfer

  •     try saving the HTM file locally and then uploading using an

    FTP package like FileZilla

  • try publishing to Sailwave results
    All the best in resolving your problem.

    Kind regards,

    Huw

WSC,

The only difference between Publish to blog and vanilla Publish is that the former doesn’t contain HTML for the whole page - it’s just a snippet that can be pasted into a new blog post (or anything else that handles HTML or that matter I guess - email etc).

When you then choose the Blog destination, you enter the URL (if there is one) that would create a new post - but you have to manually paste the results into the post - Sailwave puts them in the clipboard, so it can be quite slick, but it’s a manual operation.

As I recall the tips on the Blog destination window explain this a bit. Note also the tip that you probably need to switch to plain text mode before pasting so the html is interpreted correctly. When doing this is best to use the ‘None’ style so the results follow the table style of your blog.

You can alternatively publish to your browser, copy the HTML and manually create a new post and paste etc.

It’s a bit clunky but there is no consistent blog API to automate it that I could find at the time.
