Yesterday, i’ve updated my desktop computer from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty to 11.10 Oneiric. But after system reboot, it stuck on “checking battery state”. After some googling, i’ve found a solution on a comment by Josh.C in here.
This issue was resolved for me by running the following command at a command prompt (ssh, or Ctrl+Alt+F1):
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter
Apparently the upgrade didn’t bother to install the greeter for LightDM, so it fails to fully initialize.
And it’s works!! 🙂
CodeIgniter have a powerful form validation class out of the box. We also can create our validation method using a callback. By default, “callback” just accept 1 argument. I didn’t found in user guide, how to make callback accept more than 1 argument.
But, after doing little googling i found a way to do it. For example:
$val->set_rules('field', 'Field Name', "trim|xss_clean|required|callback__example_callback[{$argument}]")
......
function _example_callback($default_argument, $argument) {
.......
See the bold text. Done. 🙂
Today, facebook and twitter became the most popular social network. Almost all of my friend have facebook and or twitter. Social Network became the next world. We posted on someone’s wall, we share anything in status/tweet, we comment on someone’s status /tweet. It’s like another world in our ordinary life.
But somehow, we want to not following or see someone’s updates/tweet. In twitter, we can just unfollow. And we can remove friends from facebook, but in facebook there is so many consideration. 🙂

After enable Apache and PHP (also installing MySQL) on my macbook, i want to enable mod rewrite (Rewrite engine) . From wikipedia, Mod rewrite (rewrite engine) described as software that modifies a web URL‘s appearance (URL rewriting). Rewritten URLs (sometimes known as short, fancy URLs, or search engine friendly – SEF) are used to provide shorter and more relevant-looking links to web pages. The technique adds a degree of separation between the files used to generate a web page and the URL that is presented to the world.
By default, mod rewrite has been enabled. But we need edit some configuration before we can use it.

Few month ago, i posted about sub query in codeigniter here. And today i’ve found another way. It using active record class in codeigniter. For example:
$this->db->select('(SELECT SUM(payments.amount) FROM payments WHERE payments.invoice_id=4') AS amount_paid', FALSE);
$query = $this->db->get('mytable');
Just put ‘FALSE’ to second parameter in select() function. $this->db->select() accepts an optional second parameter. If you set it to FALSE, CodeIgniter will not try to protect your field or table names with backticks. This is useful if you need a compound select statement.
So simple. Isn’t it?:D
