How to manage Magento 2 product attribute values options using console

This is an update to my previous script which was used to add custom product attribute values using backend –
Add values to product attribute

Read the previous^ part to get introduction about how it works. you will have to use browser console (ctrl + shift +j in Google chrome)

First of all initialize the array mimim with the final set of values you want to see in backend. The script then automatically removes the extra options first(values which are not in mimim but in present in backend), then it adds the remaining values from mimim (which are in mimim but not at backend)

$jq=new jQuery.noConflict();
var mimim=["Abalone",
"Titanium Druzy",
"Tourmaline",
"Turquoise",
"Yellow Zircon",
"Light Blue Druzy"];
var trans=[];var o=0;
$jq('#manage-options-panel tbody tr td:nth-child(3) input').each(
  function(a,b){
	//if(a>10)return false;
	//alert(b.value);
	trans.push(b.value);
	if($jq.inArray(b.value,mimim)==-1){ o++;$jq('#delete_button_'+b.name.slice(14,-4)).click(); trans.pop();}
});
alert(o+" items removed");
$jq.each(mimim,function(a,b){
//console.log($jq('#manage-options-panel tbody tr td:nth-child(3) input').val());
if($jq.inArray(b,trans)==-1){
$jq('#add_new_option_button').click();
$jq('#manage-options-panel tbody tr:last-child td:nth-child(3) input').val(b);
}

});

How to secure a folder by whitelisting one IP using HTACCESS and denying all others

The process involves matching all requests for an IP, if the IP does not match redirect all secured directory requests.

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^120\.120\.120\.120
RewriteRule ^admin/.* - [L,R=403] 
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^120\.120\.120\.120
RewriteRule ^admin$ - [L,R=403]

If you want to control this IP using a script, you can add 2 lines

###CUSTOM RULES###
# your rules will appear here using php script
###CUSTOM RULES###

Now add a script, say happy.php
and use the following code:

$htaccess = file_get_contents('.htaccess');
$ip= str_replace(".","\.",$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$rules="RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^".$ip."
RewriteRule ^admin/.* - [L,R=403]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^".$ip."
RewriteRule ^admin$ - [L,R=403]";
$problem="###CUSTOM RULES###\r\n".$rules.
"\r\n###CUSTOM RULES###";
#please copy the next line carefully, no extra spaces or new lines
$solution=preg_replace('/###CUSTOM RULES###.*?###CUSTOM RULES###/sm',$problem,$htaccess);
file_put_contents('.htaccess', $solution);

you can also specify your error page for specific http code: 403
ErrorDocument 403 /er.htm
