In reply to: [Block Lab] Getting the “Original” Post ID using the POST field@smrdo The way you’ve implemented that is actually really good. That’s how I would have done it.
There are a couple o times in your code where you’ve ended your PHP with a double
;;when you only need one;.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Block Lab] Adding exclusions to a blockOne way would be to reuse the same code again, but this time change
post__not_intopost__in.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Block Lab] Adding exclusions to a blockAssuming your using the code from this post: https://getblocklab.com/custom-post-grid-block-using-wp_query/
Modify the part that is commented as “WP_Query Arguments” to add the exclude:
// WP_Query arguments $args = array( 'post_type' => array( $post_type ), 'posts_per_page' => $post_count, 'post__not_in' => array( 438 ), );Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Block Lab] Adding exclusions to a blockHi @bam-bam. Assuming you’re using WP_Query to build your posts grid, you can specify a post ID as part of the
post__not_inparameter.For example:
$exclude = array( 42 ); $query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__not_in' => $exclude ) );Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Block Lab] Multiselect window sizeYou might be able to change the way the multi select is displayed with CSS. Try adding a “preview” CSS file to your block template. This will only apply the CSS when in the editor. Details here: https://getblocklab.com/docs/get-started/style-block-lab-custom-blocks/

In reply to: [Block Lab] block.css not loaded in live pageHi @ursulaniamh! Yes, you’re right. Since your theme isn’t loading the content in the traditional way (i.e. the template is loading through the loop), Block Lab would require that you enqueue the CSS manually. The action you’ve written out there looks like the right approach.

In reply to: [Block Lab] Select FieldNo, unfortunately there isn’t a way to do this.
Your best option would be to create a custom field type. There’s an example of this on our Github: https://github.com/getblocklab/block-lab-pokemon-control

In reply to: [Block Lab] Add fields and compatibility with existing contentHey Hubert – yes, the expected behaviour is that you’d see a new empty URL field. Make sure the block’s slug didn’t change, that might cause an issue?
If you can reproduce this, it would be great if you could file a bug report over on https://github.com/getblocklab/block-lab/issues/new?template=bug_report.md
Thanks!

In reply to: [Block Lab] Remove comma (,) from valuesHi @petenam,
If you’re using the
block_field()function, Block Lab will output the value in a readable way, which in this case, includes commas.But if you use
block_value()instead, Block Lab will only return the value (not output it), and in the case of a multiselect, it will be returned as an array.So, you could do something like this:
$multiselect_value = block_value( 'multiselect' ); echo implode( $multiselect_value, ' ' );Here,
implodeturns the array values into a string, with an empty space as the delimiter.Hope that helps!

In reply to: [Block Lab] block_lab_add_field@tonylewis You’re right – the docs on this are lacking. My go-to when I’m not sure is to export a block as JSON, as the structure / keys are all the same as when building it with block_lab_add_field.
For convenience, I usually just refer to this gist: https://gist.github.com/lukecarbis/0a63be52b4d0c13f3951d9addf78896a

In reply to: [Block Lab] Total number of sub fieldsNot right now, but that’s near the top of our roadmap.

In reply to: [Block Lab] Total number of sub fieldsThe function you’re looking for is
block_row_count().You might also find
block_row_index()useful!More info here: https://getblocklab.com/docs/functions/block_row_count/

In reply to: [Block Lab] Yoast IssueHi @richyray92,
Unfortunately Block Lab data is stored as “attribute” data, which means that it isn’t part of the content in your post. Like you say, this means that Yoast doesn’t pick up the word count etc. and also block data isn’t used in Search.
It’s something that we’re aware of and have on our roadmap. The way we envision it working is to have one field in the block that can be chosen to be the “Content” section, is used for content instead of attributes.
Unfortunately, since it has to be restricted to a single field, it presents some UX challenges that we’re working through.
So, TLDR is that we know about this problem, there’s no simple solution right now, but it’s something we plan to work on soon.

In reply to: [Block Lab] Make block visible on Edit page@docdunning That’s my preferred structure too.
