Your results on your website, without Wordpress

It is entirely possible to host the rankings directly on your site, even without the Wordpress plugin.

Install the g-live app files on your site

The first step is to copy the files from the g-live application to your site.

To do this, you need to use your web host's file manager or an FTP client.

An FTP client is a program that connects to your server's disk space. It lets you transfer files between your computer and your server. Several free FTP clients are available, including Filezilla and WinSCP. On your hosting provider's website, you will find information about FTP accounts and FTP client configuration.

The g-live application files are located in the Wiclax installation directory on your computer. They are usually found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Wiclax\G-Live\public\ . This is the left-hand side of the FTP client software connected to your server.

These files must be copied to your server (on the right-hand side of the FTP software in the screenshot below), in a directory that you have to create (here the G-Live directory) in the location you want (here at the root of the site).

Most FTP client software allows you to drag files back and forth. In our case, you need to select all the files and folders in your computer's public directory (left) and drag them to the G-live directory you've just created at the root (right).

Go to the g-live administration page

The address is that of the folder where the application was downloaded, for example www.my-website.com/G-Live/admin. The login details for this page are those for your Wiclax user account. Modify the publication parameters as you see fit.

Now all you have to do is upload your first file from Wiclax (my-event.clax) to your server.

First of all, you need to structure the space on your server to organise the repository for many different events.

For example, we could create a results directory at the same level as the G-live directory we created earlier at the root of the site. This operation can also be carried out using our FTP client software. Then, in this results directory, create a directory for each race. Finally, we could imagine creating a directory for each edition.

The result is roughly as follows

/G-live g-live app files /results /10KM-de-la-plaine /2025 10kmplaine.clax /marathon-de-marseillle /2024

The access address to the event results page will be formatted as follows: [...]/g-live.html?f=[clax-file-path] where [...] represents the public path to the G-Live folder in your context, in which the main file g-live.html can be found and [clax-file-path] represents the relative path of the Wiclax file to load (relative to the root G-Live folder). Special characters such as slashes must be escaped according to the URL encoding standard.

Using the example above, an address will look like that : http://my-website.com/G-Live/g-live.html?f=results/10KM-de-la-plaine/2025/10kmplaine.clax

Here we are! Your rankings are now accessible worldwide. But we still need to figure out how to update them in real time from Wiclax, during the timing.
