– when i installed the JA_Teline i didn’t go w/ QuickStart [first mistake] and now i got it working on my localhost.

The question is now i have just about everything ready to move to the active site but not sure of the proper procedure.

Questions I have
1) How do i move over from the localhost?
2) Is there a way to make sure i can SAVE my content on my active server?
– IF not and i re-did all my content then how do i move it over to the active server….?

If someone could let me know i would GREALY appreciate it….i’m needing to this asap.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure exactly what you are asking here. Moving is usually a simple procedure.

1: Make sure you have a db on the “live” site. Fill this with the sql data from the localhost.
2: Copy/ftp all files/folders from the localhost to live site.
3: Make a few changes in the configuration.php file to reflect that you are now in fact on the live site and not on your localhost…

You are done. It is a really simple procedure but can of course be a bit tricky if you have never done it before.

okay – when i do this – will it erase my current “live” content?

the way I’m reading this it will overwrite your live site.

you could also use joomlapack or joomla clone to transfer to the live site

I don’t think their is a way to move it without over writing your database and files including graphics

I know in windows you can copy files from one folder to another and tell it to not overwrite existing which will make it only add new files, but I don’t know how to do that in mysql, is it possible?

quickinstall is a full joomla install with the template all set up with sample data and needed modules

you can install any template in joomla without affecting your data.

I did this with the template, I uploaded just the template to a live site and then added the modules and redid my content to suit.

Quickstart is not a template you just upload thats why you get the message xml not for template you need to read the guide on installing the quickstart or view the video tutorial i put together It should be stickied at the top of teline thread

That never got sticky ShannonN. Also the link I had for that tutorial comes up with an error. I’m not sure what happened to it.

No worries, I hope to make time and co operate with MiCCAS to produce some more basic tutorials specific to the templates I’ll try to do something on layered graphics it seems to be a stumbling block for many hobbyists
