What problem does this address?
Jetpack Forms (Form block) has received several improvements recently.
One of them was the possibility of exploring Patterns right from the Form block placeholder.
For that implementation, we followed the suggestion of using the BlockPatternSetup as it was used in the
Query Loop
block.It served our purposes well, and now we'd like to propose a few improvement points we noticed and/or received as feedback:
The default modal
viewMode
is set to Carousel, and it's not possible to change it externally. In certain scenarios, the Grid view is more suitable, so it'd be great if we could choose the defaultviewMode
.The modal doesn't show the title and/or the Pattern's description. For some use cases, showing a title and/or a description of the Pattern would make it more apparent to the user the purpose of the Pattern.
There's already a discussion about this topic(Pattern Inserter: consideration to always show each pattern title #45595), but it applies to another visualization of the Patterns. We want to use this opportunity to leave our 'vote' in favor of showing, or at least have the possibility to show the title and/or Pattern's description.
We got some feedback that, when previewing the Patterns in the Carousel
viewMode
, sometimes the next/previous slide is shown briefly during the transition and the view is a bit shaky. The same issue can be noticed using theQuery Loop
block.Please let me know if I can clarify or if you need more details for any of the points above.
