If you are running a Joomla! website, you’ve already heard about the Joomla 1.7 upgrade. It’s recommended to upgrade to this version specially if you run Joomla 1.6.

Basic steps to update/upgrade to Joomla 1.7:

• How to Upgrade 1.6 to 1.7 http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrade_1.6.5_to_1.7
• How to Upgrade 1.5 to 1.7 http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrade_1.5_to_1.7
• How to Install 1.7 http://docs.joomla.org/Install_1.7

In some situtations, you might have trouble upgrading Joomla with the built-in “Joomla Updater”.

Joomla 1.7 Upgrade errors:

• “Update: :Collection: Could not open http://update.joomla.org/core/list.xml”

  To solve this errror, you need to “allow fopen” on your server:

  1. Create a php.ini file in your Joomla site’s root. This file should contain the following line:
        

     allow_url_fopen = on

  2. Make sure that the file is having the 644 permissions at least.
  3. Check if fopen is allowed by running a simple php file inside your Joomla root directory containing the following line:

     <?php phpinfo(); ?>

     and look for “allow_url_fopen”, it should say “ON”

  To upgrade to Joomla 1.7 on a Godaddy hosting running PHP5, you should create a “php5.ini” instead of the php.ini stated above.

• Joomla updates do not appear, and Joomla says there is no upgrade available at the moment?

  If you run Joomla 1.6.x,

  1. Go to the “Extension Manager”, hit the “Manage” tab, click the “Refresh Cache” button.
  2. Go back to “Update” tab, click “Purge Cache”
  3. Click on the “Find updates” button,
  4. Joomla should appear as an update option, check it and click the “Update” button.

• Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class JDatabaseQuery in mysite/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/joomla/modulehelper.php on line 292

  When you run a JoomlaArt template, as of today, you will get an error after upgrading to Joomla 1.7.

  As the error message says it, the error is on line 292 of the above file. With your FTP client, or web file manager, navigate to the file mentioned above and edit the file.

  On line 292, comment out this:

  $query = new JDatabaseQuery;

  and insert this line below it:

  $query = $db->getQuery(true);

  so the final result at lines 292 and 293 looks like this:

  //$query = new JDatabaseQuery;
  $query = $db->getQuery(true);

• Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class JDatabaseQuery in mysite/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/menu/base.class.php on line 329

  If you use the mega menu of JoomlaArt, you need to do the same proccess for the file base.class.php

  That is, the lines 329 and 330 should be as follows:

  //$query = new JDatabaseQuery;$query = $db->getQuery(true);

You are asking “Why?”, right?

Well, I think the main reason is that people start reading from some point and see for example JohnChow is making 40 thousand dollars a month. Naturally people try doing the same things that John or even Jeremy is doing. But things don’t work the way they should be!

Let me be clear here

There’s no legal “get rich quick” method. Successful people spent time, effort and money to build their success.

Reading blogs from the first post is not very smart as there are lots of “test” posts; i.e. posts that have been written to see “what happens?”.

You need to be aware that nothing comes free, and you get what you pay for.

You should know that there are different methods to make money, not only the ones you read about at JohnChow‘s.

You should know when to quit if the way you’re going isn’t the right one.

You should be open to ideas and see your past as experiences, not defeats.

What it takes to make money?

Basically all the tools you need to make a full living on the internet are available to you almost free! What you need to do is to make them work together so you make real money.

Creativity is the first tool you need. ALWAYS remember it.

Patience is one of the most important tools you will need, motivation too.

You need to know some human language of your choice.

The remaining comes by itself.

What do I do??

What I will let you see here are the steps you are not seeing, which are the reasons why you don’t make enough (if any) money. Always remember that you need to take the first and though steps before reaching success.

Get it on paper! Good old paper.

First step, there is something you’re not doing, at least not right! it would be easier to find what you “are” doing. Take a paper, define your project, goals, time lines, methods and results you got.

That might require some time and some work, but you need to put effort in everything you want to “work”.

Smaller Goals

Set smaller goals, so you can achieve them in a relatively short time. Like “Buy a domain” by the end of the week, or “send an email” tomorrow. This way you will “progress” in a positive way. That is what you need.

I’ll get back to you soon to continue this discussion. Post in your progresses to succeed easier by being first commenters as you’ll be more “visible”…

There’s a great plugin for the WordPress platform, called SEO Super Comments, which creates a single “virtual” page for each comment on your site. It increases the number of pages you have on the site, and improves your SEO a lot. Read more on SEO Super Comments on the authors page: SEO Super Comments by Vladimir Prelovac .

“The concept relies around optimizing the target page using title and H1 tag using the context of the comment. So basically we will take the excerpt of the comment and use it to create the page title and H1 tag and in the body we will hold the content of the comment…” says Vladimir.

Download modded Google XML Sitemap Generator 3.2.3

I created a modded version of XML Sitemap Generator 3.2.3 to work with SEO Super Comments which puts all your comments pages in the sitemap, and once submitted to Google, you should see a huge raise in your traffic.

Installation

To install, you should replace the downloaded sitemap-ui.php and sitemap-core.php in your Google XML Sitemap Generator Plugin’s directory and overwrite the original files. I would recommend you back up your original files.

Once installed, Go to your administration panel, and to the XML Sitemap Generator settings, and check the ‘Include Comment Pages’ option, click ‘Update Options’ at the bottom, and “Rebuild Your Sitemap”

I personnaly recommend this plugin and would thank the developper for it.

Please send your comments and queries here if you have any issues regarding my modded version of Google XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress.

Donate

Please go to the Donations Page  and contribute to the developpment of more updated plugins if this modded version helped you increasing your traffic.

The first goal of the PrestaShop Revolution, is to use the latest JS librairies, as latest jQuery, and its plugins. Here is the place for everyone interested to share their knowledge, and work toward making PrestaShop a better e-commerce solution.

To be more efficient, I beleive that loaded JS and CSS files should all be defined in template files, and not main PrestaShop PHPs; e.g. the JS files for the Product Page, which are defined in /prestashop/product.php rather than prestashop/themes/mytheme/product.php

For longtime I’ve been a WordPress developper and I beleive that the success of WordPress not only relies on its community, but also on its way of handling themes and interfaces.

 Basically, Smarty – the templating framework used for PrestaShop – is complex and difficult to understand, so why making it more unreliable by using unclean and unhealthy coding?

I’m actually working on integrating latest jQuery 1.4.2 on PrestaShop and updating latest jQuery Plugins, and most important, I moved JS librairies to theme’s folder, rather than PrestaShop’s JS directory.

I invite everyone interested in this project to share their work, knowledge, experiences and ideas here, and on a dedicated forum in PrestaShop Forums called PrestaShop Revolution.

Making money online is one of the most researched topics for many of web developpers, bloggers and website owners. It takes a lot of efforts to produce quality content and get enough traffic, to be able to rank better in search results and improve your different ranking factors. After a while of being online, website owners will get advertising offers from different companies, which might be interesting at first.

Well, this is a good sign, as it means that your site is getting some interest and attention; but it’s also an alert, warning you to be cautious.

There are lots of scams out there, which try to fool you by offering great business opportunities and make you run some ads or malicious scripts on your website. They (the scammers) will try to get detailed information about you, your website, personal details and even your bank account(s).

You Should be carefull…

You would get an email, from an unknown party, who shows interest in your website and usually represents himself as an advertising company who wants to buy some ad space, or publish some content on your website (or blog) for one of his clients.

First thing to do is : DO NOT reply with your personal information and  DO NOT show that you’re very interested!

Second, start to gather some information about the company who sent you the email. See its WHOIS record (you can use InterNIC WHOIS ) to find out more about the website owner, registrar, their address, and phone numbers if any.

Use your favorite search engine to find out more about the company, visit their website, check their “About us” page, check their portfolio, recent clients, latest works…

Look for user reviews on the company, search to find out if ” {the company name} + scam ” returns anything in your search engine? Search and investigate a little bit to keep your website (blog) safe from advertisement scams.

Use SiteAdvisor form McAffee to check if the website is a safe website or not.

If you come across any types of scams, just DO NOT reply to their emails and ignore them. You would help other website owners and bloggers if you write a post on how to identify scams and spams and how to avoid scams.

You can share this post and link back to it from your website (given that you mention the source).

Recently I’ve came across a scam from Production-Time.com . They’ve sent me an email in French, in which they shown interest in Gibni.com and asked me to reply if I wanted some more information.

I’ve done a WHOIS research and some investigation and found out that the email, even if it was well personalised, has been sent to thousands of people and some website owners have already announced Promotion-Time.com as a scam. I’ve found a detailed article about this scam in EPN.dk, which I translated to English to be able to understand it.

Here’s the a part of the email they’ve sent me:

Bonjour,
J’aimerais vous faire part d’une proposition commerciale à propos de votre site Web, qui pourrait très fort vous intéresser.
En effet, ma société Promotion-Time, souhaiterait vous rémunérer pour la publication d’une petite publication textuelle sur votre site pour un de nos clients.
Il s’agit d’une annonce francophone ciblée qui convient à certaines pages de votre site.
N’hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin de plus amples informations.

Sincèrement,
Francq Petit
francqp@promotion-time.com

Si vous ne souhaitez plus recevoir d’emails de Promotion-Time, répondez à cet email avec comme sujet : STOP.
It is possible to continue this correspondence in English, if you prefer to do so.

Here in this post, you can help the community by letting other know about the scams you faced and also know about scams already running on the internet. Type in the information you have in the comments section (Be carefull not to spam the comments section) .

Making money online, avoiding the scams, aims to help you avoid scams, help spread the word and show your support.

Many people have visited Gibni.com since its first day and the number grows everyday. Do you want to mark the history of this site by bringing some help to it?

• Articles like TOP N95 Applications, Symbian S60 Applications – Part 1 , 2 , 3 brought a lot of people to this site, and gave them useful information on mobile phones applications.
• Articles on the Delayed Write Failed error message or the second version, helped a lot of people solve their hard drive issue and get their data back with no data loss!
• About 20 000 people read the article on MSN Messenger and its conflict with NOD32 and got connected back again with friends and familly.
• The Conficker removal article, is getting a lot of attention as it helped many people to delete the virus and protect themselves from conficker’s infection.

Currently I am writing the 3rd article on the Delayed Write Failed error message which will hopefully help people with this issue to get their hardware work properly as expected.

The 4th part of TOP Symbian Applications is on the way too.

I expect an increase in my unique visitors by 7 000/month. Which will lead to about 30 000 unique visitors per month.

My first goal is to provide information for free, and make it accessible to everyone. All of this takes time, a lot of time.

Many visitors wanted to say “Thanks” for the information I provided here and that helped them in some way, so I recently started a new section, which you might have already seen, it’s the Donations page. Here you can donate any amount of money to help me continue the developpement of Gibni and if you donate more than 10 USD, you can show a name and a link of your choice on the Donators list.

Go ahead and Buy me a drink (Coffee: 3.5 USD, Beer: 4.5 USD or Fresh soda: 2.5 USD) at least if you can’t donate a larger amount.

Thanks for your great support.

Well, some may answer with “Yes! in French!” (or Portuguese, or Italian…), but, what I mean is in other languages like Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Chinese…, languages which have characters other than the basic “A,B,C…”

Basically, when you write a blog post on your blog, it is stored in a database, and what characters that database supports, defines the characters you can use for writting your post.

Well discuss about the two general types of WordPress, the WordPress.com blogs and self-hosted WordPress installations.

WordPress.com blogs:

Typing other languages such as Farsi or Russian or Arabic should be supported by default and you should be able to write in almost any language without problem.

But if it’s not enabled on your account, according to Fatih Syuhud [1], you should:

- Login to your administration area on WordPress.com

- Go to “Settings” > “Reading”

- and set the encoding for “Pages and Feeds” to “UTF-8″

This procedure gives you the possibility of writing all kind of characters on your pages and posts and feeds.

Encoding for other specific character:

• Latin/Hebrew: ISO-8859-8
• Hebrew: windows-1255
• Latin/Arabic: ISO-8859-6
• Arabic: windows-1256

Self-hosted WordPress installations:

Remember that you take full responsability for the modifications and actions you do on your blogs/sites! Proceed at your own risk.

The contents of posts are stored in a table called wp_post (by default) inside your WordPress main database.

What defines the type of characters supported by a table, are the charset and collation of the table.

By default, all installations of WordPress (prior to 2.3.1), use the latin1_general_ci (or latin1_swedish_ci) encoding for their rows and tables.

To post articles in Arabic or Farsi (Persian) (or Urdu, Chinese, Russian…), you should change the encodings of specific tables and respective rows to utf8_general_ci.

Step One: Backup

You should first of all, backup your files and database! use Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan’s WP-DBManager plugin, or do it manually by following the procedure from this article: WordPress Backups.

Step Two: Convert

First Solution proposed by Fatih and Mukhlas Rowi [3] ( 70% success rate , maybe some data loss)  is:

- Open your WordPress database in phpMyAdmin (in cPanel),

- Click on the “wp_post” table and then click on “Operations”,

- Change the collation to “utf8_general_ci”,

- Save.

- Now, browse to the “wp_post” table, and check all rows with a collation attribute,

- Click on “Edit” bellow the list of selected rows,

- Change all collations to “utf8_general_ci”,

- Save.

That’ it.

Second solution: Use a plugin to do the conversion! I’ve tested the bbwp2UTF8 plugin and it works great (at least with WordPress 2.7.1), you can download it from my Downloads Page or from WordPress.org home page: bbwp2UTF8 Home page. ( 30% success rate, big data loss)

- Install the bbwp2UTF8 plugin by extracting its content in your plugins directory (usually /wp-content/plugins ),

- Go to the plugin’s page (link is below the “Plugins” section on the left side of the page in WordPress 2.7) .

- Check the desired tables to convert ( I recomment you convert all tables),

- Proceed with the steps to complete the conversion procedure.

That’s all! Your database and tables have been converted in the right manner, and you should not face any loss of data.

(In case you don’t like the plugin suggested above, or it doesn’t work for you, you may try: UTF-8 Database Converter by g30rg3_x ( I haven’t tried this out!) )

Geeks’ solution: Follow the guide at WordPress.org : Converting Database Character Sets

Now you can type UTF8 characters in WordPress and let your visitors type in UTF8 characters in the comments section.

If you ever heard about Microsoft (the maker of Windows and a full bundle of problems attached to it), and if you have already heard about Conficker, or also called Downup, Downadup or Kido, I suppose that you’ve already taken steps on protecting yourself and your friends from this computer worm (or computer virus as some may call it!).

I’m writing this urgent post to warn everyone and help my dear visitors protect themselves and repair their infected computers.

Please spread the word and get people to read this article so you can help and save them! (

Immediately)

Conficker was born in October 2008, and targets Microsoft Windows Operating systems, so if you run Windows on your computer, YOU ARE A TARGET FOR CONFICKER! So, let’s get straight to the point, that is how to know if you’re already infected and how to remove the worm and how to protect yourself from later infections.

Symptomes of infection according to Wikipedia are:

• Account lockout policies being reset automatically.
• Certain Microsoft Windows services such as Automatic Updates, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), Windows Defender and Error Reporting Services are automatically disabled.
• Domain controllers respond slowly to client requests.
• System network gets unusually congested. This can be checked with network traffic chart on Windows Task Manager.
• On websites related with antivirus software, Windows system updates cannot be accessed.
• Launches a brute force dictionary attack against administrator passwords to help it spread through ADMIN$ shares, making choice of sensible passwords advisable.

The worm spreads through movable drives (USB Flash drives, Memory cards, network drives, shared devices with storage memory and networks (the internet, your office’s LAN, your home’s network…) Conficker uses the Autorun feature (if you can call it a feature!! ) of Windows and a specially crafted RPC query to spread it self. more information and advanced technical details on how the worm operates is available on my other post: Conficker Worm, Advanced Technical Details (Coming Soon)

On the next page(s) I’ll discuss detailed solution to remove the Conficker virus and Patch your computer…

Remove and Patch:

Here’s how I did remove the virus for my friends and patched their computers so they won’t get infected again by this worm!

1 – First of all you need to disable the Autorun “feature” of your computer so that it won’t run CDs, DVDs and USBs automatically.

To do that, Microsoft provides a well describe article that you may read and apply for your Windows. Click : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715/ But if you’re already infected, you may not be able to access the Microsoft’s download page to download the required files.
I provide you another workaround which was initally described on US-CERT website :

First, download the autorun_patch.reg file and run it. This file contains the following code and is applied to your Windows Registry:

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf] @="@SYS:DoesNotExist"

• If you don’t want to download the file, then;

To import the above value to your registry, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the text above
2. Paste the text into Windows Notepad
3. Save the file as "autorun_patch.reg" Note: In certain circumstances, Notepad may automatically add a .txt extension to saved files. To ensure that the file is saved with the proper extension, select All Files in the “Save as type:” section of the “Save As” dialog.
4. Navigate to the file location
5. Double-click on the file to import it into the Windows registry

According to US-CERT website, Microsoft Windows also caches the AutoRun information from mounted devices in the MountPoints2 registry key. It’s recommended restarting Windows after making the registry change so that any cached mount points are reinitialized in a way that ignores the Autorun.inf file. Alternatively, the following registry key may be deleted:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2

Once these changes have been made, all of the AutoRun code execution scenarios described above will be mitigated because Windows will no longer parse Autorun.inf files to determine which actions to take. Further details are available in the CERT/CC Vulnerability Analysis blog. ^{[ref:US-CERT]}

2 – Disable System Restore:

Steps for Windows XP:

1. 1. Click Start.
   2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
   3. On the System Restore tab, check Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives.  If you do not see the System Restore tab, you are not logged on to Windows as an Administrator.
   4. Click Apply.
   5. When you see the confirmation message, click Yes.
   6. Click OK.

3 – Install Microsoft Security Update [KB958644] for your Operating System:

Go to this page and download the right update based on your Windows Operating System version: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx In case you cannot access Microsoft website for any reason, I provide you mirror downloads here on Gibni.com: For Windows XP SP2 and Windows Xp SP3 (English) : [Mirror on Gibni] For Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1 (English): [Mirror on Gibni] Once downloaded, (open/double click/run/execute) the file and procceed with the installation.

4- Download the Conficker Removal Tool of your choice:

You should download a Removal Tool (listed bellow), then save it to a convenient location like your Windows Desktop.

There are free Conficker Removal tools provided by:

• Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (En) : [Direct Download] or use the [Mirror on Gibni]
• ESET: [Direct Download] or use the [Mirror on Gibni]
• Symantec : [Direct Download] or use the [Mirror on Gibni]
• BitDefender : [Direct Download] or use the [Mirror on Gibni]

5 - Now, the next step is to check your computer for infection and clean it!

1. Once you have the Removal Tool file, (if neseccary save your work and) close ALL programs and running sotftware.
2. Disconnect your computer (PC) by PHYSICALLY disconnecting the network cable or switching OFF the Wi-Fi adapter you have.   (You may need to go to Control Panel>Network Connections then right-click on each network connection available and select “Disable”)
3. Then run (double-click/open/execute call it what you like!) the Conficker Removal Tool you have!
4. Then restart your computer once the Conficker Removal Tool’s job is done.

Follow all the instructions for the conficker removal process. The remaining steps are on the next page(s) …

6 - Install( or update) a good Security solution

I would personally recommend BitDefender Total Security 2009 (http://www.bitdefender.com)

7 - Turn System Restore back ON!

You may want to run the Conficker Removal Tool again to be sure your PC is clean. Keep your Windows and Antivirus UP-TO-DATE!!!! (Check once a month manually at least)

8 – Feel GREAT!

That’s it. Digg this article by using the “ShareThis” button or the Digg It button either below the post, or at the beginning of the post, to help others stay safe. Please spread the word and get people to read this article so you can help and save them! (

On October 23, 2008, Microsoft released a critical security update, MS08-067, to resolve a vulnerability in the Server service of Windows that, at the time of release, was facing targeted, limited attack. The vulnerability could allow an anonymous attacker to successfully take full control of a vulnerable system through a network-based attack, the sort of vectors typically associated with network “worms.” Since the release of MS08-067, the Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC) has identified two variants of Win32/Conficker in the wild to date:

• Worm:Win32/Conficker.A: identified by the MMPC on November 21, 2008
• Worm:Win32/Conficker.B: identified by the MMPC on December 29, 2008

If you ever heard about Microsoft (the maker of Windows and a full bundle of problems attached to it), and if you have already heard about Conficker, or also called Downup, Downadup or Kido, I suppose that you’ve already taken steps on protecting yourself and your friends from this computer worm (or virus as some may call it!).

On February 12, 2009, Microsoft announced a U.S. $250,000 reward for information that results in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for illegally launching the Conficker malicious code on the Internet. Microsoft’s reward offer stems from the company’s recognition that the Conficker worm is a criminal attack. Microsoft wants to help the authorities catch the criminals responsible for it. Residents of any country are eligible for the reward, according to the laws of that country, because Internet viruses affect the Internet community worldwide. ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dd452420.aspx )

According to Yahoo Tech news:

“The criminals behind the widespread Conficker worm have released a new version of the malware that could signal a major shift in the way the worm operates.

The new variant, dubbed Conficker B++, was spotted three days ago by SRI International researchers, who published details of the new code on Thursday. To the untrained eye, the new variant looks almost identical to the previous version of the worm, Conficker B. But the B++ variant uses new techniques to download software, giving its creators more flexibility in what they can do with infected machines.

The new B++ variant uses the same algorithm to look for rendezvous points, but it also gives the creators two new techniques that skip them altogether. That means that the Cabal’s most successful technique could be bypassed.”

Also known as Downadup, Conficker spreads using a variety of techniques. It exploits a dangerous Windows bug to attack computers on a local area network, and it can also spread via USB devices such as cameras or storage devices. All variants of Conficker have now infected about 10.5 million computers, according to SRI.

Here’re some statistics according to SRI:  ( http://mtc.sri.com/Conficker/ )

Total IP Addresses: 10,512,451
Total Conficker A  IPs:    4,743,658
Total Conficker B  IPs:     6,767,602
Total Conficker AB IPs:   1,022,062OS Breakdown:
WinNT=0, 2000=163395, WinXP=10189556, 2003 Srv=75361, Vista=82495, Win98=44, Win95=32, WinCE=3, Other=1565Browser Breakdown:
IE5=26,525, IE6=7,494,466, IE7=2,988,039, FireFox=893, Opera=150, Safari=166, Netscape=12

SRI says that China is the most infected country by Conficker, and follow Brazil and Russia.

I’ve noticed that Indonesia, Thailand and India are some of the most infected countries today and people are actively searching about this virus/worm.

To note that more than 9 million computers are infected worldwide till date!

Ever heard of the word RSS? I bet you’ve been invited many times by website owners and bloggers to “Subscribe” to their “feeds”! And you asked yourself “What is (s)he talking about!?”

So I’ve decided to put up a video which explains RSS and subscribtion in pictures! This is a very easy to understand and friendly movie clip.

The movie is created by CommonCraft . Checking up their website, I was amazed that only two people are working in this company and they do such a great work! They work from home it seems, and they worked for big companies like Microsoft and Google. There are lots of interesting videos and the website looking very friendly! Just watch this movie on RSS and you’ll love it!

(Small tip for webmaster, bloggers and “make money online” people! : The more your website looks friendlier to a user, the more clicks and increased pageviews you will get!)
