			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I needed to disable the image resize on uploads in cubecart. I wanted to keep it for products but I wanted to block the resize from categories and a custom slideshow module I created. Below are the steps I took: ( be sure to back-up your files before you start )</p>
<p><strong>1. in <span style="color: #0000ff;">admin\includes\rte\editor\filemanager\connectors\php\commands.php</span> : line 258</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p><strong>Replace:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;"><code> if (($size[0] &gt; $config['gdmaxImgSize']) || ($size[1] &gt; $config['gdmaxImgSize'])) {<br />
@chmod($sFilePath, 0777);<br />
$img = new gd($sFilePath);<br />
if (isset($_POST['no_resize'])) {<br />
$img-&gt;size_auto($size[0]);<br />
} else {<br />
$img-&gt;size_auto($config['gdmaxImgSize']);<br />
}<br />
$img-&gt;save($sFilePath);<br />
}</code></span></p>
<p><strong>With:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;"><code> if (($size[0] &gt; $config['gdmaxImgSize']) || ($size[1] &gt; $config['gdmaxImgSize'])) {<br />
if($_GET["noresize"] == </code></span><span style="color: #008000;"><code>'</code></span><span style="color: #008000;"><code>1'</code></span><span style="color: #008000;"><code>){</code></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;">@chmod($sFilePath, 0777);<br />
$img = new gd($sFilePath);<br />
if (isset($_POST['no_resize'])) {<br />
$img-&gt;size_auto($size[0]);<br />
} else {<br />
$img-&gt;size_auto($config['gdmaxImgSize']);<br />
}<br />
$img-&gt;save($sFilePath);</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;">}<br />
}</span></p>
<p>Notice I added a check for <span style="color: #008000;">noresize.</span></p>
<p><strong>2. If you want to block image resize on categories for example this is all you have to do.</strong></p>
<p>go to: admin/sources/categories/index.inc.php : line 366</p>
<p><strong>Replace:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;"><code>browser.html?Type=uploads</code></span></p>
<p><strong>With:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #008000;"><code>browser.html?Type=uploads<strong>&amp;noresize=1</strong></code></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><code><strong></strong></code></span><br />
Notice I added a check for <span style="color: #008000;">&amp;noresize=1.</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  I hope this saved you some time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok if you are like me then you use the FF Web developer toolbar allot. I noticed it went away after a windows update. My productivity went down since the addon makes it so easy to debug websites or test out some css w/o committing the style. It took a few hours of testing / searching but here is the FIX:</p>
<p><span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">1.</span> Open Regedit (Start &gt; Run &gt; “regedit”)<br />
<span style="color: #3366ff;">2.</span> Goto “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions”</strong></p>
<p><strong>(or “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions” for 64-bit versions of Windows</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
<span style="color: #3366ff;">3.</span> You’ll see “{20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}”. Right click it and click Delete.<br />
<span style="color: #3366ff;">4.</span> Restart Firefox.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to Piel @ ghaks for the tip.<cite class="fn"></cite></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately ive been receiving a ton of compliments on my new phone system. People think i paid a ton of money for it, but in reality I used Toktumi which is  14 bucks a month. Toktumi is a phone service that is perfect for those who work from home or want to setup a virtual PBX that extensions ring to different cellphones.  I got the service and the phone adapter, its similar to the magic jack. The voice quality is decent and when im not signed in the auto attendant routes my calls to my cellphone. I moved over  from vonage and the folks at toktumi moved my number.</p>
<p>If you want to get a free month trial to this service go here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.toktumi.com/welcome.aspx?agentid=107157"><span style="color: #006d95;">http://www.toktumi.com/welcome.aspx?agentid=107157</span></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before you start - backup your table, do an export with phpmyadmin.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Move the non duplicates (unique tuples) into a temporary table</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #d25836;"><code>CREATE TABLE new_table AS<br />
SELECT * FROM old_table WHERE 1 GROUP BY [COLUMN TO remove duplicates BY];</code></span></p>
<p><strong>Step 2: delete delete the old table<br />
We no longer need the table with all the duplicate entries, so drop it!</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span><span style="color: #d25836;"><code>DROP TABLE old_table;</code></span></p>
<p><strong>Step 3: rename the new_table to the name of the old_table</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #d25836;"><span class="kw1">RENAME</span></span></p>
<input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" /><span style="color: #d25836;">TABLE new_table <span class="kw1">TO</span> old_table;</span></p>
<p>Now you can fix that buggy code thats causing duplicate entries.</p>
<p>Just use &#8220;insert IGNORE into ….&#8221; to prevent duplicate entries, or add an &#8220;ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE …&#8221; at the end of your mysql query.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted.  Hopefully we can learn something from this one.</p>
<p>In the past  couple of months i&#8217;ve heard people say that the job market and business opportunities are not the same, and in a way I agree with them but is it really. Yes those in entertainment industry have suffered because their product is a want not a need and in return the advertising industry is taking a hit.  <span id="more-14"></span>This is good news for the small business, why you ask. Well.. now you can squeeze that advertising director for a cheaper rate on an ad on the local news website or newspaper. You can offer a payment plans, no payments for the first 30 days or even discounts to entice your customer to spend now.  A large business that need to make payroll for 10+ employees cannot give someone credit or a payment plan but you can.</p>
<p>This brings me to one of the most important aspects of a web business, you can go global.  Countries like China and India will soon have more English speaking folks that what we have in the US.  Surely you have a product or service you can offer them.  Is your site translated in to Spanish, you can hire someone to create a language file for your site and your developer can make the translation happen based on a button on the site or with some ip to location script. This will increase the size of your market substantially.</p>
<p>I not asking you to go buy a set of Rosetta stone dvds but if you have some free time think about expanding your reach at least to the next state or the region it very easy with craigslist or backpages.</p>
<p>Mobile is also a sector most people are forgetting about, there are numerous ways to engage the mobile user. You can create a mobile version of your website, menu or direction. Some companies like promoters and retail shops have used text messaging to offer clients exclusive deals like VIP access to the venue or a coupon barcode that the cashier can scan from the recipients cell phone. I have implemented these system before and they can be implemented for less than a grand.</p>
<p>Below is a cool video inspired by the stats gathered by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod.  It realy outlines where the world is going.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pMcfrLYDm2U&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pMcfrLYDm2U&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>S.E.O - Search Engine Optimization, is a topic that strikes fear in a web developers heart. Its the most unpredictable aspect of web design/development. SEO is not difficult however you need to have patience. There are thousands of companies that promise you number 1 rankings on Google. This is the first sign that the company is not being honest, I don&#8217;t care if your are Sergei Brin - you cannot promise a company number 1 rankings with out a competitive analysis. Don&#8217;t get me wrong there are some companies that can get you to number one using some black hat tactics which can result in getting &#8220;Google PWNED&#8221; ( this is when Google figures out the exploit you used to get to the top and kicks you to the end of their index).  Believe it or not you need Google if your goal is to earn a living from the products or services you sell online.  This is google&#8217;s way of keeping things fair.  OK OK I digress, so you want to know the top secret stealth l33t way to make it to the top of google. ( I sound like those lame ebooks you see online ). Here is the answer:<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<h2>FOLLOW WEB STANDARDS</h2>
<p>2 months ago I set on a mission to rank number 1 for &#8220;web development providence&#8221; on google. Below is what I did:</p>
<ol>
<li>I analyzed the market ( ask myself what keyword will my client use ).</li>
<li>Created a page title and a meta description that included those keywords.</li>
<li>Made sure the the first paragraph on my page includes my targeted keywords.</li>
<li>Made sure all my images had alt tags and my links had title tags.</li>
<li>Used little to No flash.</li>
<li>Kept things table less.</li>
<li>Validated all my html and css ( http://validator.w3.org ).</li>
<li>I patiently watched my analytics.</li>
</ol>
<p>This paid off because I kept things natural. When the search engine indexed my site it saw that it was well coded and there was keyword continuity on all pages. I was happy with this result and now I am working on &#8220;RI web development&#8221; in the same fashion.  But woody I did what you suggested and it did not work? well maybe your market is super competitive or you aimed for a keyword that is too broad or you did one of the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>You duplicated content ( is ok to quote another site, but don&#8217;t copy content).</li>
<li>You have 10 domains going to your site ( is called a 301 redirect use it ).</li>
<li>You went and submitted your web design business to a tattoo artist directory ( you want back links from relevant pages ).</li>
<li>Your hosting your site at a $3 shared host who also hosts spammers. ( bad neighborhood )</li>
<li>You got inpatient and completely changed your content around. ( I&#8217;ll get some comments about this )</li>
<li>You got inpatient and paid a guy named Sam to spam your link on blogs.</li>
<li>Your urls are not friendly (index.php?id=89&amp;page=34 &lt;- is not friendly)</li>
</ol>
<p>I don&#8217;t claim to know the inner workings of the number one search engine in the world but I know web standards, if you follow them and you are patient; you will get results. This is what is tried and true, anything else is a gimmick that will yield temporary results and or get you banned completely.</p>
