Homepage block: allow tag/category filters as either AND or OR #856

Open gamebits opened 2 years ago

gamebits commented 2 years ago

The Homepage Block allows the selected posts to be filtered by tag (https://github.com/Automattic/newspack-blocks/pull/297), category (https://github.com/Automattic/newspack-blocks/pull/821), author (https://github.com/Automattic/newspack-blocks/pull/60), or co-author (https://github.com/Automattic/newspack-blocks/pull/836). When more than one tag/category/author/co-author is selected, the block pulls in posts that contain any matching criteria.

We've had a request to make this filter work as AND instead of OR — i.e., the block pulls in posts that contain all matching criteria.

I confirmed the current functionality is OR in this screenshot, which selected all three posts; if it were AND, only one post would've been selected.

Clearly we don't want to universally change this behavior for all publishers, but a toggle that lets the publisher choose the desired behavior would be welcome.
