v3.11 | Posts List Block Upgrades, Breadcrumbs, Accessibility Updates for Mobile Menu and More!

Hello there! Get ready for a SPRINT with a lot of new features! Taxonomy breadcrumbs, a few upgrades to the Posts List Block, migrations, Accessibility updates for mobile menu behaviour and much much more. Let’s go:

Features 🛠️

PLANET-7840 Integrate core Cover block to use GP Media

From now on, everyone can use the Greenpeace Media to add images to the Cover Block.

PLANET-7812 Post List Block: move See All Post link under the last item of the list

In the Carrousel View, List View and Grid View of the Post List Block, the “See All Posts” link appears in the upper-right part of the block. This behavior makes sense for the Carrousel View, however: the P4 community has brought the valid point that the best placement for this link in both the List View and Grid View would be beneath the last item. So this has been updated.

See on Figma here.

PLANET-7809 Posts List: Show tags on list layout

Tags have returned to the List Layout on the Posts List Block! There is a limit of 5 tags.

PLANET-7808 Add a global setting for major taxonomy breadcrumb

There is now the option to switch between Post Type and Category as a global setting instead of editors having to do that for each block. The setting for this can be found under Dashboard > Planet 4 > Defaults content.

This will affect all instances of the Post list block, including listing pages and related posts.

PLANET-7798 Upgrade to WordPress 6.8.1

It’s WordPress upgrade time! Say hello to version 6.8.1 on all Planet 4 websites.

PLANET-7777 Transparent background effect for the homepage navigation menu

Inspired by the GPAP Homepage Menu on Desktop, all P4 sites menu now have a different and transparent behavior. Their design gives the site a more modern look, so thank you to the wonderful people at GPAP for this amazing work! This is how it looks:

PLANET-7745 Actions/Posts List blocks: adjust taxonomy breadcrumbs

In order to reduce clutter and navigation options from Listing blocks, we now limit the breadcrumbs to be more consistent and in line with the new IA. Posts List and Actions List will by default now only show one Category. No Tags or Post Type.

PLANET-7579 Migrate Covers Take Action block to Actions List block

As the Covers block is going to be replaced by the Posts or Actions List Block, a couple of data migrations are needed to make the transition of the existing content smooth, and making sure that the original layouts (Grid or Carousel) are preserved.

PLANET-7511 Migrate Articles block to Posts List block

The Articles Block is also going to be replaced, by the Posts List Block. Therefor, a script was needed for the data migration to make sure the transition of existing content went perfect, too.

PLANET-7805 Fix mobile navigation tabbing behaviour

On mobile/tablet, mobile tabs are shown under the main navigation and these (dis)appear when scrolling the page up and down. However, currently they are always accessible by tabs, even when they are not shown. That has now been disabled if the menu is closed or not shown.
