Should I move my Joomla 2.5 installations mysql tables from myISAM to InnoDB

Another programmer who was looking at my code was horrified to see that my Joomla 2.5 website was using myISAM table format in my MySQL tables.  This is default but should I be bothered.  Well running fast and stable myqsl queries is very important to the program I am creating.  So if doing so is an improvement that it's certainly something I should look at doing.

Take a look at this blog. Should you move from MyISAM in InnoDB

So the next question is 'what do I need to do to upgrade my Joomla 2.5 installation from MyISAM to InnoDB

[code]

ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=innodb

[/code]


I'll let you know any difficulties when they occur.

WiseMonkeyMedia - Adding A Client

here's some notes on Adding a Client to www.wisemonkeymedia.co.uk , which is Joomla 1.7 installation.


This is the process that needs to be followed.  I'd put it as a INTERMEDIATE thing to be able to do.  For example yoy should be able to confidently add articles and find your way around Modules etc. A video of this process will follow shortly.


Adding A Client


* add the category in Article Manager

* add the menu item

* add menu to 'our client' module

* make a article

* Article ID add to module

In my case I'd realised I'd deleted some information about the user from the table 'comprofiler' - once reinstated I was up and working again. 

Joomla Migration to 2.5 stuck at "checking and cleaning"

Using JUpgrade to move a Joomla 1.5 installation to 2. 5 it was getting stuck.  Here's what I needed to do


> create a JUpgrade Folder and give it 755 chmod

> download the latest Joomla Package and unzip into that folder

> run JUpgrade but bypass the creating directory and download features in the settings.

Here's the post where I found this answer on

Joomla Virtuemart - The image URLs submitted seem to be blocked by robots.txt

I got this mesage in Google Base




Roboted images (113 items)
The image URLs submitted seem to be blocked by robots.txt. Google will not be able to display these images together with the products. Please change your robots.txt file to allow Google to download the image.



I am working on a Virtuemart Joomla installation and I think it could either be from

Disallow: /components/
Disallow: /images/


To check this I've search for


' is Disallow: /components/ blocking image for google '

' joomla virtuemart image blocked from google merchant '


and found the answer in this forum
Red Mystic Forum

that its the  Disallow: /components/ 

however I am going to remove the Disallow: /images/ as well, as I would like this site to be findable in Google images .  In fact I will check that all my Joomla sites are searchable in Google Images. 

get rid of virtuemart Error Login denied! Your account has either been blocked or you have not activated it yet. Did you not get an activation e-mail and follow the validation link?

When browsing round my clothing store website I've started to see this message

Error Login denied! Your account has either been blocked or you have not activated it yet. Did you not get an activation e-mail and follow the validation link?

So what's the deal.  Well I checked the site in another couple of browsers and it isn't appearing there.

After that I deleted my cookies and hey presto! the problem is gone.  So it seems it's only an issue after I'd logged in.  Which I can live with.


This may not be the same in you case but it's worth checking ;)
