I'm not sure when WordPress started doing this, but would it be possible to disable this "available to install" section? We generally want to discourage use of 3rd party block plugins, so I'm not thrilled about this being featured somewhere so prominently.

WP Theme 3.4.2

Disable "Available to Install" block suggestions

Reported by Heather Baker (heather.a.baker@ua.edu)

## Description

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

## Expected behavior

Reverting to a revision without the Page Settings block should remove the Page Settings block from the live page.

## How to Reproduce

1. Edit a page without a Page Settings block, but with a Cover block in the page content
2. Add a Page Settings block, check Hero Content
3. Move the Cover block into the Hero Content
4. Save changes (View Page: live page reflects these changes)
5. Click page Revisions
6. Navigate to previous version without Page Settings block
7. Click Restore This Revision
8. Page editor shows previous version without Page Settings block
9. Click View Page: live page shows both the Page Settings Hero Content and the Cover block in the body of the page.

## Additional information

I tested saving a change in the Page Settings Hero Content block and then reverting to the previous revision (that still contained the Page Settings block), and it worked as expected. Something about reverting to before the Page Settings block existed results in removing the block from the editor (expected), but the block remains on the live page (unexpected), even after emptying the cache. Making and saving page content changes (with no Page Settings block anywhere on the page) does not affect the ghost of the hero content, which is still visible on the live page.

If I revert again to a revision that contains the Page Settings block, I can then delete the block and save the page, and the changes are accurately reflected on the live page. Alternatively, I can add a new Page Settings block, uncheck Hero Content, and Save the page, which will remove the hero content from the live page.


Page Settings (Hero Content) block is still visible on live page after reverting to a revision before the Page Settings block existed.

Research changes in WP 6.7

## Description

Add a page in the Customizer to control settings on the archive pages of the Directory system. This would be the Tag and Category listing pages for example.

Settings should mirror the options available for the Directory Index page.

- Toggles for the Tags and Categories in the sidebar
- Under page view, option for Grid or List, max columns setting
- Under Metadata, toggles for the following:
  - Profile Image
  - Location
  - Website
  - Phone
  - Email
  - Profile Button

## Additional information

A nice feature might be to have an option at the top to inherit settings from the Directory Index template, set to `true` by default. The user could instead select to use different settings for this page and be provided the options outlined above.


enhancement

This release will focus on improving the WordPress editor UX for UA Blocks and Styles.

WP Theme 3.5.0

Customizer support for Directory Archives

The objective here is to embed a list of contacts from the directory system, based on tag or category. I’m proposing a new block “Directory Feed” that would allow users to select their filtering criteria and it would show a grid of contacts cards.

In the block settings, other than the inputs to control the filter, there should be a “max items” limit that can be set, as well as “max columns”

The individual contact cards may be able to use the block from #578 as the grid items, and use their block options to handle toggling information and layout.

feature

Directory Feed Block

This would be a new block added to the theme that allows the user to include a contact card from a record in the directory. It would be nice if there could be a search box / selector so that the user can select the contact they wish to display.

The markup will use this component from Minerva: https://demo.ua.edu/fw/v3/?path=/story/components-contactcard--example&args=isLandscape:!false

- The heading level should default to 3, but may be adjusted by a dropdown in the block settings sidebar
- Toggles to hide or show the following metadata should be included: tags, email, phone number, email, website, image, and link to profile
- The Contact card should default to portrait mode, but have an option to put it into landscape mode in the block settings sidebar, just like the existing card block.

It would also be cool to allow the user to fill in this information themselves instead of selecting from a directory item. In this case, maybe there could be a “blank” option in the dropdown to select the contact, which would be the default item selected. When this “blank” item is selected, inputs for the name, job title, contact info, image, etc should be displayed.

I’m not married to that implementation though, so if something else would work better, we can talk about it

Contact Card Block

This enhancement will add new customizer settings for toggling the information in the individual directory entries on the Directory archive.

From #513, _"The directory index should also get an entry in the Customizer with toggles for tags, categories, fields in each contact entry, and display options for list view or grid view."_


Add new Customizer settings for displaying Directory entry data

The theme directory system will allow content creators the ability to add robust personnel directories to their website in a centralized and easy to manage location

## The Profile Page

I imagine the best way to handle this will be to create a custom post type, where each custom post is the profile page for a specific person. This page would also hold metadata like tags, categories, profile picture, and contact information. A custom block that stores this structured data is probably needed.

## The List

An index at example.ua.edu/directory should be made available to display a list of all people in the directory system. Categories and Tags should be listed in a sidebar for filtering the list. The directory index should also get an entry in the Customizer with toggles for tags, categories, fields in each contact entry, and display options for list view or grid view.

Another part of this might require an archive template for displaying the filtered results, similar to how normal posts function.

## The Block / The Pattern

A new contact block or pattern is needed to display structured data. It will use the card under the hood but will have additional styling rules. All parts of the contact card should be optional. See minerva for contact card markup and options.

## The Feed

A new block should be created that can display people with a specific tag OR category. This way contact information for individuals can be embedded where it makes sense to in the site’s content. For example, displaying academic advising personnel on a page about academic advising. The feed should populate contact blocks with data from the custom post.
