The Schedule block is now available for beta testing on WordCamp.org. It will replaces the [schedule] shortcode, as a way to automatically generate a front end schedule based on the Sessions custom post type.
Kudos to @mrwweb for building an innovative prototype, @melchoyce for the design, and everyone who helped refine the ideas in previous discussions.
Please leave comment below if you’d like to help with beta testing.
If you’re not currently planning a camp, you can use one of your older sites, or ask for access to a test site.
The new block doesn’t currently support the personalized schedule feature that the shortcode has, but that will be incorporated before the block is enabled for all sites.
Testing Details
- Leave a comment below, and include the URL of a past- or present- WordCamp that you helped organize. I’ll enable the block for that site.
- Edit the Session posts and update the
durationfield, if needed. If you skip this step, you’ll probably see a lot of warnings while using the block. - Draft or publish a new page, and add the block to it. Please share a link to this page in the comments, so myself and everyone can see the results.
- Play around with the various options, and keep an eye out for bugs, missing features, pain points, etc. I’m especially interested to see if anyone runs into problems applying custom CSS to it, and any tweaks that would make that easier.
- If you have any feedback, please leave a comment below, or open an issue on GitHub.
Thanks!
