Query Loop polishing issues for 6.7 #63361

Open ntsekouras opened 4 months ago

ntsekouras commented 4 months ago

This is a non exhaustive list of issues we could aim to land for 6.7 to improve the user experience around this block.

More issues will be added and please feel free to add or suggest more to be included.

Do we want to set the default value of the query block to be inherit as well? If so, here's a quick PR for it: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/63362

Query Loop deletion from template: make the warning message more understandable by adding context

This message has never done anything but needlessly interrupt me, unfortunately.

Perhaps this kind of hand-holding stuff could be grouped and opt-out-able when you first onboard. Some people will make hundreds of sites but on every new site the editor will assume you know nothing.

IMHO the most needed improvement is the skip current post ID https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/42810

Nice to see some progress on this block. How about adding more options for the sort order, like #51290 or #50999? In my opinion, these are low-hanging fruit that would greatly improve this block for the end user.

Absolutely, the ability to ad a randomized post from a specific category would be useful for many sites that want to highlight their archive. I was surprised when looking for this feature and it had been removed.

I would like to add the post format filter to this list since we know that post formats where highly requested by users for 6.7. The issue has a very long discussion in it, and is not limited to one feature: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53049 The experimental PR is more limited in its scope. https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53049

I think you meant to link to https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/64167! I'm going to add this in for the sake of tracking. Thank you <3

Lots of unchecked boxes here and only a fortnight until the last Gutenberg RC before Beta 1. Shall we move this overview issue to the "Punted to 6.8" column?

annezazu commented 2 months ago

As a quick update, some improvements have happened that weren't tracked here. Much of this work has focused on the default settings of the Query Loop block and various UX refinements to configure it properly.

Done:

In progress:

The latter two seem unlikely to land but could perhaps with some additional help.

Long awaited... Thanks in advance to all the people involved on this. I should still read all the related issues to better understand what's really going on...

But I can try to give my UX feedback. For me the three most frustrating things about the Query Loop / Pagination blocks are:

I'd like to propose to add https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65524 to the list.

I'd like to propose to add https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65524 to the list.

I've added it to this list, but as I'm not sure what's possible for 6.7, I've also added it to this larger tracking issue for extra visibility: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/41405.
