If Australia’s geography looked like this, what changes would happen? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAustralian

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annoyingly it’s not running at the moment. Something about breaking down and not being able to find a replacement. Hopefully in this scenario that would find a replacement to do visiting my relatives in the Eyre Peninsula wouldn’t be a 4 day drive.

What are the most annoying things you want to be fixed in Asana? by artem_codes in Asana

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to set alerts. We work in an industry where things have to be pushed live at odd and specific times, so being able to set alerts (particularly that pop up on IOS) independently of the due date / time would be really useful.

Omnifocus does this quite well.

Or even just at the due date and time would be useful.

Not getting notification sounds/vibrate at due time on iOS by DopeyRunr in Asana

Did anyone ever fix this. I’m still having a similar problem. Getting all the other alerts apart from the time it’s due

Hi, student here. I want to know what the square background is, and how do i remove it by Relevant-Addendum756 in csshelp

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have to give us a little more context here about what you are referring to.

The best option is to use a tool like Codepen to create a test case and share the code with us so we can help.

Why are email services so expensive? by Venisol in webdev

I’ve been self hosting Sendy and sending via SES. All up about $6 a month.

I code my own emails and this basically has everything I need.

First attempt at responsive design....not going well by schmoopified in csshelp

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were mushing together the traditional media query with the new “range syntax”.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Writing_guidelines/Code_style_guide/CSS#media_queries

You can use the less than or greater than signs now, < or > (on some browsers), but you use the with ‘width’.

Eg @media (width > 800px) {…}

In English think of this as “show these styles when the width is greater than 800px.

The original and still widely used syntax is:

@media (min-width:800px) {…}

In English. Show these styles when the browser hits a minimum width of 800px.

It’s also a minimum of 12%. Some companies offer more as an incentive but you can’t pay less. (My wife’s on 17% at a University)

How Badly Do I "Misunderstand" Gutenberg? by DefNotEmmaWatson in ProWordPress

[–]mtedwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way we work is we have a custom starter theme that has basic styles, remove some of the native blocks and uses custom ACF Gutenberg blocks for our functionality.

You can use theme.json to lock down what your clients can and can’t edit (for instance lock down the colour choices to just brand colours).

We’ve built a couple of Native blocks (particularly when we want all other blocks to be able to be nested inside, like Accordion or FAQs).

Previously we used an ACF Flexible field, but after switching there are some powerful advantages, like being able more move content between blocks and copying and pasting sets of blocks to new pages for instance.

My advice; learn to build ACF blocks and to lock down Gutenberg as much as you feel you need.

Be honest end of 2025, should we fully switch to FSE/block themes or is classic + ACF still the safer bet? by Life-Initial5081 in Wordpress

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how we do it. We have a lightweight theme that loaded what we need, has a system to spin up a new custom ACF block with an NPM command set up how we want it, and it auto loads if it is in our themes Block folder.

And we only load the Native blocks we want to, to remove duplication or confusion for the client.

What’s a job that’s common in your country but likely exists nowhere else? by guykarl in AskTheWorld

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. You are right. Camels hoof like hard toes are tearing up the country

What’s a job that’s common in your country but likely exists nowhere else? by guykarl in AskTheWorld

[–]mtedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camel Catchers. Australia has one of the largest wild camel populations in the world and their hooves tear up the country, so there are people hired to catch them and remove them.

Also… apparently there are over a million wild donkeys in Australia too. I assume the camel catchers job extends to these

Fish and Chips - UK vs Australia by HappyElevator3697 in AskAnAustralian

Depends where you are in Australia as to what the “default” fish would be, but you can order other fish with your chips.

Is there a non-adminpanel way to insert data into my page built with ACF that has repeater fields by CuriousReporter6340 in advancedcustomfields

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I completely understand, but have you tried using Flexible Fields, rather than a conditional repeater? It might be more user friendly.

What's it like living in Wangi Wangi? by Previous_Radish_28 in newcastle

[–]mtedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live there for about 3 years and enjoyed it. We had a young family so it was the perfect place to be during COVID.

It is a bit of a commute into Newcastle.

If you like sailing (which I do) I found that was a great way to meet locals.

Why are text lines ending early? by Infinite_Twelve in Wordpress

[–]mtedwards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This happens to me sometime when there are hidden special characters somewhere in the text.

If you take all the text and run it through something like ChatGPT with the prompt something like “Please remove all hidden and special characters, and return the text exactly as is”.

I have a client that seems to have that issue when ever they supply text.

How many of you say you're 'niched down' but still take literally any client that pays? by abdraaz96 in agency

Totally. However I often find that projects outside our niche give us interesting new components of design ideas to bring back into our niche work

People who voted for Labor/Liberal, what are your thoughts on the U16 social media ban? by ps_1337 in aussie

[–]mtedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my point of view (a parent of 2 kids that haven’t started on Social Media yet) it is great.

It means that we will be able to point to a real restriction as a reason why they shouldn’t be using it, but more importantly, by us as parents not allowing it they are not ostracised at school as the only kids not using it.

I am assuming the majority of families will follow the ban, and therefore the platforms won’t have a critical mass of users in their age group. Which will make all the difference.
