Consider adding visual buttons for repeater layout selector #362

Open chrisblakley opened 4 years ago

chrisblakley commented 4 years ago

I don't know about others, but I never remember what Table, Block, and Row repeater layouts look like from memory, so I often toggle and save the layout option 2-3 times and check which one works best with the data.

It could be helpful to use visual buttons that depict the layout instead of the simple radio toggles when making the repeater. I've mocked up a very crude idea of what I'm proposing. Maybe if others think this is worth pursuing it could be polished and implemented into ACF.

Current: acf-layout-options

For reference, here are what each of the layouts actually looks like:

Table: acf-layout-table

Block: acf-layout-block

Row: acf-layout-row

Hi @chrisblakley - This is a great idea! I think the wording of Table, Block, and Row needs a rethink too.

With version 5.9.0 just being released, I'll be taking some time to regroup and plan for the next milestone. I'll happily add this to the to-do list and hope to implement something in the future 👍
