The title is maybe a little bit confusing, better would be maybe child template directives. This post
explains how to include a child template in a Magento email template. Pretty popular examples are
Magento_Email::email/footer.html and Magento_Email::email/header.html.
It can be quite comfortable to use configuration values in Magento 2 email templates. Let us assume we change our store phone number in the configurations and it changes also in templates where we use sentences like: You can call us any time at .... I will show pretty fast in this post how to use the restricted list of configs in email templates and will explain ways to add your own configuration paths.
Magento 2 email templates are supposed to be translated sentence by sentence. This post shows how to use the translator directive.
This post tries to explain every possible way to use blocks in Magento 2 email templates.
Unfortunately it is not possible to create a real blur overlay with CSS for all browsers at the moment. Only webkit
has the backdrop-filter. But all other browsers mostly
support a blur filter. This will not really work like a overlay, more like a filter that will be propagated
bottom-up. In other words, the filter works only for a hole element or not. It's impossible to have something like a
div overlay element that blurs only a part of an image like the backdrop-filter.
You will start thinking about image sprites, if you see that your website has too many requests just because of some
background images. An image sprite can combine many single requests from a browser to the server into one request.
We just have to combine our background images into one single image and use the CSS property
background-position. It's just getting complicated if you have a transition on the background.
A small tool to show the differences between two texts. Similar to the command git diff. I was motivated to write the algorithm on my own in JavaScript, but there already exists an excellent implementation by Kevin Decker that is called jsdiff.
The uWave: Accelerometer-based Gesture Recognition project from the Rice Efficient Computing Group inspired me to build a small real time HTML based signature identification with JavaScript. Actually gestures have not that much incommon with drawn handwriting, but I wanted to test dynamic-time-warping on signatures. I am not sure if there is a real usecase for a signature identification in web applications, but it was fun to build this kind of prototyp. Feedback is welcome.
I'm starting to digitize many of my old tapes and vinyls. The final result should be my own multimedia center on a Raspberry Pi. Also important for me are my old DVDs. Today I would like to show, how to rip a DVD on Linux with HandBrake.
I would like to collect here a small set of random value generators that I use pretty often.
