Who's in charge of the 'Try Caving' Website?
- Thread starter martinb
- Start date
It's Hellie Brooke, BCA's Youth & Development person. You can e-mail her on youth {at} british{hyphen}caving{dot}org{dot}uk. In her defence, she is new to the job and I know she has plans for the Try Caving site. Let me know (secretary@ ...the above...) if Hellie's e-mail doesn't work for some reason.

I last had dealings with it in January 2009. It's running a VERY old (2006) & unsupported version of Joomla. (1.1.8, I think, difficult to tell.) It could really do with migrating to Joomla 2.5 like the latest DCA web site...
See:- http://thedca.org.uk/
DCA are now updating this themselves with occasional minor advice from myself. (I specialise in Joomla web sites.)

You just ask cookie to create you an account on the server. You get a control panel and ftp access, you create your mysql database via the control panel, copy the Joomla files to the server, then run the setup scripts. I have set up 4 web sites on the BCA server(s), you don't need anything else, except maybe setting up a few mail boxes. Job done.
All the above sites were migrated from other servers too, just did server to server copies of the files and exported / imported the database structures / data....

Les W said:If you install via Fantastico (one click install) then the current offering is Joomla 1.5 however, as Mel says, you can install any version of Joomla yourself although you need to be a bit techie.
Aah, I guess that's what Graham was referring to then. Nowt wrong with Joomla 1.5, my own company web site is running it. (Has been for 4 years.) It is a mature, stable and secure product.
And I have no intention of upgrading my company web site to a later version!
TBH, if the Try Caving web site was upgraded to the latest 1.1.n version then it would be fine. The Darfar PC web site is running on it and I've had no problems with that. May even have the upgrade packages available on my external backup drive...
