Joomla help required please

Anyone manage a website in Joomla?

I'm trying desperately to get our rugby fixtures on our site but can't and the webmaster is too busy to help me and I'm fed up of the daily emails from everyone asking where the fixtures are. :bang::bang:

Can anyone help.

And it's not as easy as copy and paste - already tried that.

Been a while but I could probably help. What's the site and which bit do the results need to go on?

Hi, I have had a quick look but you seem to have deleted all the previous fixtures so I cannot see a template, however this might help? Copy and paste it into html part of site and then insert data - OR if you have it in Excel you might be able to copy and paste direct
<table width="97%" border="0">
<tr>
<td><strong>Date</strong></td>
<td><strong>Opponent</strong></td>
<td><strong>Home or Away </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1.9.08</td>
<td>Whoever</td>
<td>Home</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

</table>

It must be a component or module that you have installed to input and display the fixtures yes? If so what is it called and where can we find a copy to check how it works?

What format is your fixture list currently in?

www.vigorfc.com and the Ex A Xv fixturelist is how it needs to be and the 1st XV table is how not to do it. The 1st XV was a straight copy and paste from excel. I tried to look at the html for it but it came out even worse when I tried to insert the new fixtures. I don't really have a grasp at all of html.

Thanks Christine but that's what we've tried already - see above

well, this is what we had a thought about earlier but I'm not 100% au fait with all the stuff and couldn't find a component on it

What format is your fixture list currently in?

I have it in excel at the moment, well I did have - just realised it's on my work computer which means I only have it in pdf here.

I think it's taking us too long to work out how to do it easily so it might be quicker for me to just type it into the table direct. It's just I have 5 fixture lists and it's getting on my nerves now.

Thanks for all your replies though, appreciate you trying to help.

p.s. get yourselves another web master too, if the one you have is too busy to explain something that should take only a few minutes, maybe they are no longer interested?

Mmmm, trouble is, he's a member of the club and not charging us for the work he did to do the site and bits and pieces he did, we only pay for the domain.

I doubt we'll get any money from the committee to get a new one rebuilt so it will be left for me and my Dad to stump up the cash which isn't too good as my Dad is retired and I'm skint :|

So for the moment, I am trying to battle with working out how bits of it work in my spare (!) time

Ok, it's just a plain article then by the looks of it.

email me the fixtures and I'll build the HTML you need so you can copy and paste it straight into the HTML view of the article editor.

Thanks Christine & pxl8 for your kind offers, I will speak to you tomorrow about it. In middle of thunderstorm at the moment and keep losing internet connection so off to bed to watch lightening
