Some of Gmail users were so desperate that you could feel their desperation from tearfull words on the computer screen.

One of them was even convinced that Google went down intentionally for him to ruin his life:

Twitter was also pumping messages with “Gmail own” in every 3 words.

This Gmail blackout demonstrates how we are all dependent on one service provider.

Some tips how to prevent future downs of Gmail.

1. Have an alternate email account where you can forward emails to. You can set up to forward your emails automatically and even if the front-end doesn’t work there is a chance that some services are still functioning.
2. Do not use Gmail for business. If you have a website, you must have your own domain email address. You can forward emails, but the opposite way: from @yourdomain.com to @gmail.com

To view file properties for a single file or a group of files you have to:

1. Select them;
2. Right click on them;
3. Select properties;

Hovewer this method is sometimes very time consuming, especially if you have installed many programs which has additional functionality while right click on the file.

To view file properties really quick just place a properties shortcut button in your explorers’ toolbar area.
 To do that:

1. Right click on the explorer toolbar and select customize;
   
2. From the available toolbar buttons select Properties button and add it to Current toolbar buttons;
   
3. Click close;

Now you have your own properties shortcut available everytime you have some file(s) selected. Just click on the file and that Properties shortcut and you will have properties window in moments not seconds.

ERROR! Profile does not exist, loading default Profile instead. (PL_DEFAULT_PROFILE)

Read some suggestions experienced by me on how to fix it.

At first this error could be thrown because SQL patch was installed incorectly. Try to at first install this module on your local machine at localhost and see if everything works.

I have 4 different Zen Cart stores set up for testing purpose and here is what I noticed. In 2 Zen Cart sites SQL patch was succesful when all code from pricelist-3.sql was copy-pasted. But these Zen Cart installations were plain and without any other modules. On my main Zen Cart site there is some other modules like Google XML sitemap and other installed so maybe something is interfering there and when I tried to copy paste SQL from pricelist-3.sql, Zen Cart resulted in message: Failed.

Although in readme.txt it is forbidden to use upload feature but this is what worked for me to update database correctly. So if copy pasting SQL from pricelist-3.sql doesn’t help you, try to upload that file and see if this works.

Uploading pricelist-3.sql or copy-pasting code in the window saves you from manually changing/adding table prefixes if your database’s tables for Zen Cart use prefixes like: zc_categories.

Another option for running SQL query not from Zen Cart is to use phpMyAdmin. Navigate to your Zen Cart database and press SQL in the  middle top. Then copy paste SQL code from pricelist-3.sql and hit GO button. You should see succesful message.

 If you uploaded all files from includes folder and installed SQL patch correctly you should see new line in the Configuration drop down menu: Printable Price-list; Price-list Profile-1; Price-list Profile-2 and Price-list Profile-3. Here you can adjust many options of the price list for your store.
