using "add fetch request" in Xcodes UI

It seems that there is a convenient way to use fetch controllers using the UI of xcdatamodel. I tried to use it but could not figure out how you actually implement the fetch once I have created it. anyone have some experience with this? A link? And most of all, is it possible to comfortably add this to a fetchResultsController?
Thanks!
EDIT: the answer here core data simple fetch request template in swift helped me use the tool but I feel like it is not a full answer. (Thank you shallowThought)

How to use Zend Framework Begining of time

first ive already installed zend framework skeleton application with command from and composer.pharphp composer.phar require zend..... and i type composer suggests and then install all the suggested application on my computer.
composer require zend...
know i have many file and folder about zend framework, but i cant use it.
can anybody tell me about how to use or implement zend framework.
in the code i understand a litle but its blanks on the Controller and Bootstraps.
for know i want to know about to use zend framework, thanks.
Trying to teach you how to use ZF in a single answer would cost a lot, because of the complexity of the framework. Since that, I strongly recommend you to read the tutorial that Zend guys prepared for us to learn the use of the framework.
If you are using ZF1: Tutorial
If you are using ZF2: Tutorial
I really think it's a good starting point and, if in the future you have more specific questions, you can (obviously) ask them here.
I hope this helps and welcome you to Zend Framework ;).

FeinCMS search rich text content data

I am working on an existing Django project that uses FeinCMS for the content management.
I am trying to implement a 'Site Search'.
Using Haystack and Whoosh I can happily search the standard Django models.
However, when I try to use the same Haystack recommended approach to the FeincCMS 'Page' rich-text-content model, I'm not having much luck.
I'm wondering if this can indeed be done and if anyone has successfully used the Haystack/FeinCMS combo before?
Or do I need to look at a different approach. Someone has mentioned Sphinx to me?

Has anybody tried the new MVC HTML5 Toolkit from Codeplex?

I saw a tweet today referring to the MVCHTML5 helpers on Codeplex. I'm wondering if
Anybody has tried this out yet?
Does it add any real significant benefit over the default HTML helpers?
What are the actual HTML5 aspects of this library?
I would definitely recommend checking it (I am a little biased as I wrote it!).
But it's just a simple DLL that you include in your MVC project and it will give you all the benefits of HTML5 input types. If the browser doesn't support it - it will just fall back to a normal textbox.
To answer your questions though, it only adds a benefit if you are looking to add HTML5 functionality to your application or website. It uses the exact same syntax and the normal HTML helpers that ASP.net MVC comes with, but this just makes life easier if you are looking to add HTML5 functionality to your site.
Here is another link regarding HTML5 and the input types: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/
I've just been trying it out, it doesn't seem to support the Required DataAnnotations for unobtrusive client side validation

CMS for Professional Photographer with Pretty Admin Back End

I'm working on a few sites for professional photographers who want to be able to update on their own. I'm looking for a simple CMS solution that has very basic functionality as a gallery and is easy for them to work with. My main concern is with ordering images--I'd like for them to be able to drag their thumbnails around and lock the order. I suspect there is an existing solution out there and am looking for recommendations. I've seen something like this driven by Flash for Flash sites, but I don't know the name of it. I'm looking for something that is similar, but not Flash.
Photogallery tikiti is nice http://www.rocky.nu/photogallery/
I used wordpress and the dm_albums plugin for this site http://www.arkphotography.co.uk
I found dm_albums easy to use, and so did the photographer who had little experience of using wordpress and none of using dm_albums.
