Vim Replace All Reminder

Replace all occurences of foo with bar in the file: 

%s/foo/bar/g

Svn error: .. has unexpectedly changed special status

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:53 — sham

To solve this delete the svn:special property by doing this:

svn propdel svn:special FILETOCHANGE

You can also use svn proplist FILETOLOOKAT to see the svn properties on that file.

I had just used this script: http://arctic.org/~dean/scripts/unln to unlink but keep a copy of the symlinked file.
Seems to work quite well.

Cakephp 404 not found (The requested URL .... .xsd was not found on this server)

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:26 — sham
This happened when i had a controller called Types and a file in my webroot called types.xsd. When i turned off Multiview in my site configuration file it started working. 
<Directory ....>
 
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiView
 
</Directory>
I just removed the MultView option for now.

ExtJS ext.data.jsonwriter and cakephp

Sun, 03/14/2010 - 21:23 — sham
Just spent quite abit of time getting an EditorGrid properly creating and updating rows automagically using Ext Writer. Except it wasn't so magical.
Notes:
- Create requires success: true and then the created record (including the id).
Use this snippet: 
echo '{"success":'.$success.', results:'.$javascript->Object($record).'}';
in the above results should be whatever your roots property is in your store reader config. For example: 
                reader: new Ext.data.JsonReader({
                        totalProperty: 'total',
                        successProperty: 'success',
                        root: 'results',
                        idProperty: 'id', etc
Example of working create json string: 
{"success":true, results:{"id":"47","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101012","partDescription":"3.0 Metre Crossover Network Cable",
"quantity":"1","price":"3.5"}}
Example of working update json string: 
{success:true, id:11}
After an update you can use $this->MODELNAME->id to get the id for the json.
Destroy just needs 
{success:true}
Read example (all records for grid): 
{"total":2, "results":[{"id":"46","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101104","partDescription":"Dual Back Box","quantity":"1","price":"4.26"},{"id":"47","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101012","partDescription":"3.0 Metre Crossover Network Cable","quantity":"1","price":"3.5"}]}

You can dump the database into a file using: 
 
  mysqldump -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename > filename 
 
you can restore the info to the database again using: 
 
  mysql -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename < filename

Logitech G15/Z-10 LCD Spotify status/currently playing script

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 01:18 — sham

Here is a quick script I put together to be able to see what song is currently playing from Spotify on my Z-10 speakers.

Download here : g15spotify.zip

Released under the GPL 2.0

Please note this is my first 'big' bash script so please let me know about any problems/improvements needed.

Cakephp Session object destruction failed / session_regenerate_id() annoyance

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 21:17 — sham

While writing a webapp I suddenly started getting this error:

Session object destruction failed

Apparently it is related to session_regenerate_id(). For now I have solved it by setting security.level to medium in core.php.

On my todo list for a proper fix before release.

Print Arrays nicely using pr

Sun, 06/07/2009 - 23:59 — sham
I recently had to do some debugging of arrays. Print_r() is very, very ugly: 
Array ( [0] => struct SidAndAttributesType { string SecurityIdentifier; unsignedInt Attributes; } [1] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfGroupIdentifiersType { SidAndAttributesType GroupIdentifier; } [2] => struct
I did some research and found a nice solution: use pr() instead of print_r. 
Array
(
    [0] => struct SidAndAttributesType {
 string SecurityIdentifier;
 unsignedInt Attributes;
}
    [1] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfGroupIdentifiersType {
 SidAndAttributesType GroupIdentifier;
}
    [2] => struct NonEmptyArrayOfRestrictedGroupIdentifiersType {
 SidAndAttributesType RestrictedGroupIdentifier;
}
Shorter, simpler, sweeter!
