This plugin should help shape the idea, that it should be relatively simple to convert the existing GatherPress Event List block into a tailored block-variation of the core Query block.
Credits to @ryanwelcher for everything below and 97% of the code within this project.
This plugin introduces a Query Loop block variation that will empower users to be able to do much more complicated queries with the Query Loop block, such number of posts to display and post meta
Please use the either the support forum or the official repository for any questions or to log issues.
Select additional post types for your query!
Set the number of items you want to display (up to 50).
Remove the current post from the query.
Choose whether you want to start at the first or 100th!
Generate complicated post meta queries using an interface that allows you to create a query based on meta_key, meta_value and the compare options. Combine multiple queries and determine if they combine results (OR) or narrow them down (AND).
Query item before a date, after a date or between two dates!
Sort in ascending or descending order by:
- Author
- Date
- Last Modified Date
- Title
- Meta Value
- Meta Value Num
- Random
- Menu Order ( props to @jvanja )
- Post ID ( props to @markhowellsmead )
Please note that this is a slight duplication of the existing sorting controls. They both work interchangeably but it just looks a bit odd in the UI
