To give room for other plugins and modules i have made a lot of changes this time. I have renamed all tables to singular from plural and changed all file names and variables accordingly. I have now combined common files for frontend and backend. This time i have given some time for SEO stuff as well, so all pages, blogs and links are SEO friendly and I'll continue to optimize as I'll discover the SEO secrets and tricks in the future versions. I would love to hear some feedback from SEO specialists out there. As i am not selling this software and providing 100% free, I won't be able to pay you guys, who send me tons of proposals everyday. If you are happy to provide feedback for free, that will be most welcome.
This week has been amazing week as i got chance to get the training on Zend Framework and hopefully will get chance to learn more next week in advance classes. Thanks to Mike Larcher, Managing Director of Acidgreen Pty Ltd (A Web Development Company) for paying my training fees. I Still love Codeigniter though.
Thanks for all the feedbacks you guys sent me through twitter, email and forum. All the feedbacks re-generates the power inside me to take the codefight cms to the next level. When you know that someone is using your software and when you see it in action that gives a real happiness and encourages to make it better and more powerful.
After watching Masterchef Australia grand finale and see Adam Liaw win the title, refreshed my mind again and sat to write this blog post long time after my last post. So, I must congratulate him (Adam Liaw) for the great title and lot of cash prizes. I was also inspired by the Callum Hann's deserts. Being so young and beating every other contestant was great to watch. As its over now hopefully Masterchef Australia Junior will be as exciting as this was.
Before i wrap up my post i would like to request all the users of the software to help me by providing feedbacks, ideas, libraries, plugins etc.
I need to wake up early in the morning and its already 11PM so I would like to say good night to everyone out there and have a sweet dream.

Are Search Engines indexing your pages that have no content and you don't want them to be indexed and waste search engines visit to the page that have absolutely no value for your website? Then there is a simple solution meta noindex.
I was searching google to see how many pages of my sites are indexed and saw 25K pages. I was adding to many stuffs with less value. One of them was "On The Web" which was just a webstat of the sites out there. People started adding to many adult websites so i decided to close that section. I am planning it to move to zoosper. I thought that those pages were just wasting time of the search engine. So, I turned of stats and added noindex, nofollow.
That reduced the pages indexed in google. Now google will have time to visit my pages which i want it to visit more often and index.
After, few days of above update i started to see better result for codefight cms in search engines. But less in advertisement revenue though. I was making like $20-$30 per week from google adsense only. Now, it has gone down to $1 - $10 per week.
Now i have updated codefight cms to add meta noindex, nofollow to those pages which have no content like: http://codefight.org/page/index/sorry-i-have-no-content-to-display-for-you.html
So, I think in next few days google index will drop from 25K to less than 1K. But it will be easier for those people to find Codefight CMS who are looking for Free Codeigniter (CI) CMS.
If you are using Codefight CMS and want to add this option then you need to edit two pages.
app/frontend/views/templates/core/blocks/head.php and app/frontend/controllers/blog/page.php
On page.php update:

I mistakenly canceled one order and spent a day to go through magento & different forums and blogs and searching for a solution and this is how i fixed myself after few tries. I am still not sure how to extend the controller so i modified the core file and made a copy so i can paste back if overwritten when upgrade or i can copy when i find the solution how to extend or override a magento controllers.
Create a file @ app\code\local\Codefight\Adminhtml\Block\Sales\Order\Grid.php
