			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There seems to be a bug in the Docman Component 1.4.0 rc3. The component works fine except that it does not allow users to download the document . (Download button is missing)</p>
<p>The simple fix to it is as follows</p>
<p>1. login to FTP and browse the &#8216;docman&#8217; folder under &#8216;plugins&#8217; folder in the Joomla root directory</p>
<p>2. Now extract (unzip) the com_docman_1.4.0_rc3.zip file on your harddisk</p>
<p>3. copy 2 files from the &#8216;plugins&#8217; folder (standardbuttons.php and standardbuttons.xml.php) from the files extracted in step 2 above</p>
<p>4. paste the files referred in step 3 to your FTP path mentioned in Step 1 above ie &#8216;plugins/docman&#8217;</p>
<p>Thats it&#8230; You will see the download link working now.</p>
<p>NOTE : If you are not able to copy the files to your FTP, this might be due to the fact that the apache user is the owner of the&#8217;docman&#8217; folder under &#8216;plugins&#8217; folder</p>
<p>To change the ownership</p>
<p>Login to SSH using &#8216;root&#8217; user and  change the ownership of the docman folder (under plugin folder) to your user</p>
<p>command</p>
<p>chown username:usergroup filename</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>chown username:usergroup foldername</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span class="mw-headline"> Custom error pages </span></h3>
<p>Joomla! uses the templates/system/error.php file to handle several HTTP Status errors, including &#8220;403 Forbidden&#8221;, &#8220;404 Not Found&#8221;, and &#8220;500 Internal Server&#8221; Errors. You can style the error results, if desired.</p>
<p>It is important to understand that the error.php is an independent file from Joomla!. Plugins do not run on the file. You cannot include modules or use <em>&lt;jdoc:include&gt;</em> statements.</p>
<p><a name="Overriding_the_System_Error_Results"></a></p>
<h4><span class="mw-headline"> Overriding the System Error Results </span></h4>
<p>To override the system error results, copy the <em>templates/system/error.php</em> file into your <em>templates/&lt;template-name&gt;</em> directory.</p>
<p>If it finds one, Joomla! will use the <em>error.php</em> file from the current template, in place of the system file.</p>
<p>You can format the page, as desired, to match your template.</p>
<p><a name="Overriding_the_System_Styling"></a></p>
<h4><span class="mw-headline"> Overriding the System Styling </span></h4>
<p>If you want to change the styling, copy the <em>templates/system/css/error.css</em> file into your <em>templates/&lt;template-name&gt;/css</em> directory.</p>
<p>Next, update the your <em>templates/&lt;template-name&gt;/error.php</em> file to reference the new location of the stylesheet by changing this line, accordingly:</p>
<div style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">
<pre class="source-css">&lt;link rel=<span class="st0">"stylesheet"</span> href=<span class="st0">"&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;baseurl; ?&gt;/templates/system/css/error.css"</span> type=<span class="st0">"text/css"</span> /&gt;</pre>
</div>
<p>For eg.</p>
<p>&lt;link rel=&#8221;stylesheet&#8221; href=&#8221;&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;baseurl; ?&gt;/templates/&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;template;?&gt;/css/error.css&#8221; type=&#8221;text/css&#8221; /&gt;</p>
<p>Then, simply change the error.css, as desired, for your styling requirements.</p>
<p><a name="Customizing_Error_Messages"></a></p>
<h4><span class="mw-headline"> Customizing Error Messages </span></h4>
<p>You can add conditional logic to vary the message returned, dependent upon the specific error code.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to trap a 404 error and provide a custom message.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">
<pre class="source-php"><span class="kw2">&lt;?php</span> <span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$this</span>-&gt;<span class="me1">error</span>-&gt;<span class="me1">code</span> = <span class="st0">'404'</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span> <span class="kw2">?&gt;</span>
	&lt;div id=<span class="st0">"errorboxheader"</span>&gt;Page not found&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div id=<span class="st0">"errorboxbody"</span>&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sorry! That page cannot be found.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
<span class="kw2">&lt;?php</span> <span class="br0">}</span> <span class="kw2">?&gt;</span></pre>
</div>
<p><a name="HTTP_status_code"></a></p>
<h4><span class="mw-headline"> HTTP status code </span></h4>
<p>When a request is made for a page on your site, the server returns an HTTP status code in response to the request. Joomla! returns a &#8216;200 - the server successfully returned the page&#8217; for error pages. This is problematic for those working with Google Webmaster Services and trying to get a sitemap resolved.</p>
<p>If you want Joomla! to return a status code for the error, you can do so by adding logic before the DOCTYPE line, as follows:</p>
<div style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">
<pre class="source-php"><span class="kw2">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="kw1">if</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="re0">$this</span>-&gt;<span class="me1">error</span>-&gt;<span class="me1">code</span> = <span class="st0">'404'</span><span class="br0">)</span> <span class="br0">{</span>
	<span class="kw3">header</span><span class="br0">(</span><span class="st0">"HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"</span><span class="br0">)</span>;
<span class="br0">}</span> <span class="kw2">?&gt;</span></pre>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The favorite icon (commonly referred to as the favicon) is an image file that is 16&#215;16 pixels, and is normally named favicon.ico.</p>
<p>You need to upload it to the template directory of the template that you are using. If you are using multiple templates you&#8217;ll need to upload it to different directories. If I were replacing the favicon in the Joomla! 1.5 default template Rhuk_Milkyway, You need to upload the favicon to: joomlaroot/templates/rhuk_milkyway/favicon.ico</p>
<p>Since your browser has already downloaded (cached) your old favicon, you probably won&#8217;t see the changed icon till you clear your cache and refresh (you may have to refresh multiple times before you see the changed icon).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. cPanel Remote Backup</strong></p>
<p>This is the most easiest method used to transfer whole site backup from server to server. It makes use of the “Backups” feature in cPanel and needs to be enabled by your host.</p>
<p>To use this</p>
<p>1. Open the Backups manager in your cPanel and click “Generate/Download a Full Backup”<br />
2. For Backup destination choose “Remote FTP Server (Passive Mode Transfer)”<br />
3. Enter the FTP server, username and password<br />
4. Enter the FTP server port (this is usually “21″)<br />
5. Leave Remote Dir field empty<br />
6. Hit “Generate Backup”</p>
<p>Your backup will now be passively generated and transfer from server to server using the net2ftp protocol. If you don’t see this option in your cPanel then you need to ask your host to enable it.</p>
<p><strong>2. SSH</strong></p>
<p>SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. Now a days nearly every web host provides this on request. You will need the PuTTy client to connect to your server via SSH.</p>
<p>Once you are connected via PuTTy just follow the instructions:</p>
<p>1. Login to server 1 via SSH and open the folder which you want to backup e.g.<br />
cd /home/somepath/to/yourwebsite/public_html<br />
2. Make a compressed archive out of this folder using the command<br />
tar -cvf sitepack.tar ./<br />
3. Login to server 2 via SSH and use the command below to fetch the backup from server<br />
wget yourdomain.com/sitepack.tar<br />
4. Now uncompress the archive using the command<br />
tar -xvf sitepack.tar</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How to Set Up A PPC Campaign</strong></p>
<p>The important factor that affects your PPC campaign is the amount you intend to spend and your target keyword.</p>
<p>Obviously, the larger PPC search engines like Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and MSN have the widest coverage, so the cost for bidding on their keywords is going to be more expensive than if you try the smaller, niche PPC search engines.</p>
<p>Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture) provides a free search tool that not only provides you with a wide range of keywords, but also a tool which indicates the current bidding price for those keywords. However, you&#8217;ll find a better free tool here: http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/. This tool will help you determine how many and which keywords you should plan on using in your campaign.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE: This free tool gives you a good ROUGH guide. However, it does not give you sophisticated, accurate research.</strong></span> For example, it combines singular and plural and also combines word order. It shows the same number of searches for &#8220;cheap books&#8221; and &#8220;books cheap&#8221;, which is nonsense. You need to know which phrases people are REALLY using.  For in-depth reviews of keyword research tools, see KeywordWorkshop.com.</p>
<p>If you are new to the industry, it’s advisable to take it slowly to begin with. Set yourself a small budget and choose keywords that are well searched for and as cheap as possible.</p>
<p>* The first step is to choose the PPC search engine you are going to use. You can choose from the “Big 3” - Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing or MSN, or one of the smaller PPC search engines.<br />
* When choosing your keywords, choose wisely (the more focused and targeted the better) and keep bids within your budget. Just because a keyword has the most searches does not necessarily mean it will be the most profitable.</p>
<p>For example: the keyword “batteries” might have a large number of searches, but it is too general. How do you know if the visitor wants the batteries your site is going to sell? More targeted keywords and phrases, even with fewer searches can be profitable. Example:  the keyword “buy rechargeable AA batteries” is much more focused and more likely to result in a sale.<br />
* <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Tip: Do not target only keywords with the highest number of searches, especially if you are just starting out. </strong></span>These will be the most sought after keywords and phrases for PPC and they will cost you more to bid on them. Don&#8217;t be afraid to use keywords from the middle, and even lower end on the list. Fewer click-throughs that convert to sales are much better than paying for a lot of click-throughs and fewer sales. Remember, you want quality targeted traffic.<br />
*  The next step is to design and implement your ad. This will depend on the PPC search engine you have chosen. Incorporate your keyword or key phrase into the Title and if possible, either the main keyword or a secondary keyphrase into the description.</p>
<p>Create a number of versions of your ad so you can split-test them to see which one works most effectively. PPC Marketing requires a good deal of tweaking – especially when you are starting out – so tweak, test and monitor until you find the right word combinations that not only draw you visitors but make the sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Pay Per Click Search Marketing?</strong></p>
<p>A simple definition of Pay Per Click (PPC) is the placement of an ad on a search engine results page or web page that appears for specified keywords or key phrases. The advertiser pays a pre-determined price (or bid amount) whenever a visitor who lands on that page clicks on the ad you have placed there. That’s why they are termed “pay per click” because you only pay when the visitor clicks on your ad.</p>
<p>* A PPC ad usually consists of a heading, a short summary and the URL which is the landing page you have selected.<br />
* Some PPC search engines strictly control and monitor the title and description you can use in your ad while others are more open to the type of ad you can place.<br />
* In some cases, once you have devised your PPC ad, decided on the amount you are willing to bid and lodged your application with the PPC search engine, your ad will appear within minutes, other PPC search engines may take a couple of days for your ad to appear. So unlike organic SEO, PPC marketing can generally give you immediate results.</p>
