This works:

order allow,deny deny from 203.97.120.87 deny from 121.73.214.121 deny from 219.88.68.120 allow from all

Can anyone confirm it before I test tomorrow?

Sorting Multidimensional Arrays

kiwinewt — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:32:29 +0000

For future reference really:

Controller::loadModel('Student');
$students = array();
foreach ($courseStudents as $crsstd) {
	$students[] = array($crsstd, $this->Student->find('first', array('conditions' => array('Student.id' => $crsstd['student_id']))));
}
 
function compare($x, $y) {
	if ( $x[1]['Student']['lastName'] == $y[1]['Student']['lastName'] )
		return 0;
	else if ( $x[1]['Student']['lastName'] < $y[1]['Student']['lastName'] )
		return -1;
	else
		return 1;
}
 
usort($students, 'compare');

Why

kiwinewt — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 08:58:59 +0000

Why does RoR not support multi-table inheritance? Theres no way at all (apart from an obscure plugin that noone knows how to use) to get it working without writing SQL views and such, which just gets messy.

It should not be so hard!

New Design

kiwinewt — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:39:14 +0000

As many of you may have seen (If you have ever visited my blog), I have implemented a new design. It’s still based on the good old wordpress backend but now is more oriented towards the business end of things (since I will be getting business traffic pointed here.

Yeah I know, I’m only a one-man shop and put in a load of ‘we’ stuff, but it does sound a bit more professional I think. Just a case of working out where ‘I’ ends and ‘We’ begins… See. Even the grammar associated with that is buggering up!

Oh, and yes I did do the logo myself

Currently working on a project that I really dont want to be doing any more on now…
So, from Procrastinators-r-us:
user = User.new(:username => “Frankie”, :password => “Fishy”, :password_confirmation => “Fishy”, :email => “frankie@fishlovers.com”, :first_name => “Frank”, :last_name => “EnStein”)

RoR – Reloading Classes

kiwinewt — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:17:03 +0000

For future reference…

With the later version of Rails, you can reload your models and controllers with the following command. Be sure to recreate any instances of your models as they will still be using the old class

reload!
