1 week ago Congratulations @mauteri for finishing #692 (and #687) !
Based on your working branch I made some tests using the core/comment(s-...) blocks in combination with a pre_get_comments filter. This allowed me to use the default blocks with the new created RSVPs, which was nice.
I went on testing, added more interactivity to new variations of the core comments blocks one-by-one, which progressed nice & slowly, but it felt not correct, because this was far out of the GatherPress scope. A little more research proved me right: There was already & still is, an open PR adding this and more, core interactivity to the comment blocks.
Take a look at this amazing screencast (taken from the PR) and imagine, GatherPress could just create some block-variation and restrict the use to the new RSVP comment_type, like I did in my non-interactive beginning.
This would be .... Wow! I think.
And it would allow GatherPress' RSVPs to benefit from all of the built-in and plugin-powered spam-protection and (some of) the core Discussion settings.
Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.
With the goal set, to transform RSVPs into regular comments (#687), GatherPress might be able to re-use some of the
core/comments…blocks, as block-variations to archive the needed RSVP functionality.This issue is meant as a first collection of related Infos:
