Last week, one of our clients discovered what appears to be a conflict between Docman and SEF Advance (don't get me started on SEF Advance or this will turn into a much longer post.) For the time being, here's the solution.

If you've tried upgrading CiviCRM from 3.0.x to 3.1.3 in Joomla, you may have run into the following error:
DB Error: no such table Database Error Code: Table 'your_database.civicrm_contact_type' doesn't exist, 1146
The solution is really simple, just follow these instructions, expertly provided by Deepak Srivastava over at the CiviCRM community forums:
Workaround - 1 ========== As soon as you see the error, doing a page reload should bring the upgrade screen back. And hitting upgrade button should work normally. - OR - Workaround - 2 ========== Before installing the new codebase increase the session lifteime, so that session doesn't expire between installing the new codebase and hitting the upgrade. Note: Session lifetime could be increased from Global Configuration >> Session Settings >> Session Lifetime. Change the session timeout back to previous one, once you done with upgrade.
Other than that, follow the official instructions, and you should be home-free!

Greg Grothaus of Google’s Search quality team posted a video on the Google Webmaster Central Blog dispelling the duplicate content penalty myth. The video is a reproduction of a talk he gave at the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose last month on Duplicate Content and Multiple Site Issues. In the video, Greg explains that Google does not automatically penalize you for having duplicate content on your web site as many have believed. Many have accepted this myth because of Google’s search feature that hides similar pages from the user. However, it has never been Google’s intention to penalize well-meaning webmasters who might happen to have multiple copies of the same page by accident. Anyone who has been developing web sites for a while (specifically dynamic ones) will tell you that it’s quite common to have several different variations of the same URL. Greg crystalizes this with the following example: These URLs are all different:
- example.com/
- example.com/?
- example.com/index.html
- example.com/Home.aspx
- www.example.com/
- www.example.com/?
- www.example.com/index.html
- www.example.com/Home.aspx
The URLs are all slightly different, but they are all displaying the home page of example.com, which is obviously not duplicate content. Google, in its infinite wisdom, understands this and will even attempt to pick the best url and combine all of the extras into one listing in search results. However, just because there is no penalty for duplicate content does not give us an excuse to become lazy about keeping our URLs and URL re-writing techniques as clean as possible. You are still at a major disadvantage if people are linking to different copies of the same page, in that the link juice that could be captured by one single url on your web site is now being dispersed among two or more. Greg rightly states that if you have two identical pages with slightly different links, and 10 people are linking to one and 10 to the other, your listing is going to have half the rank from incoming links that it should. This is called dilution of link popularity. In addition to problems with linking, multiple URLs could also result in user-unfriendly URLs in search results, as well as inefficient crawling by search engines: you want them digging for new content, not re-reading the same thing.

Hello and welcome to the new Hint Media. We're still working on different sections so please excuse the dust and also be sure to let us know if you run across anything that looks out of place or doesn't work right. My name is Joshua Wood, and I am the guy behind Hint Media! I've been in the Web Design and Development industry for quite some time, it's been over 10 years now professionally, although as with many of my colleagues, all of this started out as a hobby and grew into a career. I was 11 or 12 years old when I built my first (admittedly awful) web site, and have been building them ever since. (I like to think I've improved some too...) Be sure to check back often for updates -- what you see so far is only the beginning and we've got a lot of cool stuff in the works. As always, if you're in the market for a new web site or would just like to improve or extend the one you already have, we're here to help! Call us at 208-964-5372 or fill out our online contact form to learn more about what Hint Media can do for you. Thanks for visiting!
