How To Do Joomla To Drupal Migration Export Import 2015

Category

I just migrated this site from Joomla 1.5 to Drupal 7. I am done with Joomla, it is really awkward. It still is not 100 % seo compliant. And that bothers me a lot. 

IN this video you can see how I extracted all the articles from Joomla, they are neatly packed in the database table, then I imported that data to excel and later on imported all the articles to my Drupal site. 

I used feeds module of course. I successfully mapped each field from my Excel CSV file. And with Drupal things works like you expect them to work. Not like Joomla where everything is broken. 

How to prevent seach engine to index your subdomains

I was so pissed with my host that this could happen. I am not talking about preventing the Google and other seach engine to index our subdomain if we want it to. 

For example, we could have a subdomain like this    blog.universal.com and we want the search engine to index this. So google bot comes and index all pages inside that subdomain for example

Jewelry Retouching -How to?

I need to write you some tips, but I can't reveal all the secrets. I use latest photoshop CS6. That is it. No 3d programs, in fact 3D rendering programs usually look very fake. 

YOu need to get good images. At least the stones need to be somewhat decent. You can send shank usually, but if the stones are messed up, then you have a problem. 

YOu need to learn how to cutout the jewelry first. That means using the good old pen tool. Nothing else is as accurate as pen tool in Photoshop.

Jewelry Retouching - Removing Scratches In Under 1 Minute From Precious Stones, Diamonds

Here is a quick video of one of our tips on our Jewelry Retouching DVD. With this technique you will be able to remove all scratches, dust, and other artifacts from jewerly in no time. 

Or you can use the old clone tool and spend hours to remove each dust, scratch from stones. 

In this video you can see before and after retouch. It took me only 20 seconds to retouch this piece. I could spend over 1 hour if I would be using the clone tool.

Compositing in Adobe Photoshop - New Sports Poster

Here is our new Photoshop compositing sports poster for a major Thai boxing event in Bangkok Thailand. We used many stock images and put them together in one big poster. The original pictures had to be darkened, HDR toned, of course we needed to cut them out from the background, especially the fighter.

Photoshop compositing is very popular right now, even more than retouching. It contains of course basic elements of retouching, but it is much more than that.

How To Import Or Export Database Through SSH

Category

A designer sometimes comes across the problem, where the database is too large to be imported through phpmyadmin. Phpmyadmin allows usually only maximum 50M database size. If your database is larger than that, you can use putty, cmder, or gitbash. I mean every CLI works pretty much.

I prefer to use cmder. It is a small program and it works.
