Welcome to WMR’s WordPress community podcast press this. Here, host David vogelpohl and guests around the community discuss the biggest problems faced by WordPress developers. The following is a copy of the original recording. David vogelpohl: Hello. Welcome to WMR’s WordPress community podcast press this. This is David Vogel Paul, the host computer. I support the WordPress community through my role in WP engine. I want to tell you the best community you can hear in the media every week. Subscribe to wpdavidv or click it or WMR on iTunes, iHeartRadio, spotify. You can the latest episode from FM. In this episode, we will talk about the future of Ford’s framework block and page builder. The notorious Mr.Scott Kingsley Clark and Scott will join this dialogue. Welcome to the report. The
Scott Kingsley Clark: Hello, thank you for meeting me. Dv: I’m glad you can come here. I know you told a little story about possible collision before recording. I seem to have a chance to talk with you in depth. So although I am looking forward to today’s gags, it will be a good opportunity for those who listen to what we are going to say today. The Ford context introduces that Scott is one of the main contributors there, his ideas on the evolution of the block editor in WordPress, and how the rest of Ford’s contributors plan to use the block editor to provide value. So Scott thinks all the guests are your WordPress. Org when creating the configuration file, I asked you this question that you can remember. However, how can we help the audience understand what is the origin story of WordPress and what is the first moment of using WordPress? The
Skc: yes, so I first contacted WordPress through cPanel. It was listed beside two long ago. And I don’t know. Yes, but it was not needed at that time, so it was deleted. Then I worked with an agent to modify the media force for their own client project. At that time, I broke the customization and stuffed it into the plug-in, because I was really involved in my first work. Moreover, it was one of the areas that provided me with a really thorough understanding of WordPress. At that time, I realized what I was doing, so I actually fell in love with WordPress. Before the advent of the custom content management system and word press, many other solutions were built in. I didn’t realize that all this was just a usable fact. It’s really good to be able to build on it. The discovery and opening of WordPress doesn’t happen in other ways, just like other people break into it and use it for personal purposes. I jumped directly into the code, and actually I had to do something in it. It was a very interesting project. The
Dv: the evaluation version is the same as the first project. This is equivalent to opening the core mode with a separate plug-in. Skc: yes, I realized it was a big problem. It tells the agent the photos and we should take these out. Dv: very interesting. Here too. It is also interesting to talk about how to use platforms and frameworks such as the homev class. However, you don’t need to maintain anything else, just as you can see what things like WordPress can do in terms of efficiency. It is appropriate to talk about Ford here. But a similar problem is
You can add fields. For example, you know post types, categories, and users, and there is currently Gutenberg integration. And there are cool parts. Keep you concise, focused and easy to understand. I just want to add custom fields here. appear And it’s a big benefit of keeping things simple. Design is a simple interface. It’s simple, but powerful for people who use it at the same time. For those who actually use the pot, this is a pass. Some fields are not provided, and some fields are actually advanced custom fields and all consumers of ports or other solutions. And Ford is more similar to what I said. He treats things as content structure, so it is very interesting. Therefore, instead of considering the individual custom fields required, we discuss the entire content type and which fields should be available. Therefore, I want the book post type and ISP number instead of adding my post type ISPM number 2 in the advanced customization field. I want to and organize everything else. Perform these actions in a way that makes sense to administrators who create data and maintain structures. The
Dv:acf seems to be adding fields to my content type, but it is the same as Ford in the one-step upgrade. It also simplifies the field part, but in fact, as you thought about it and mentioned, it sounds interesting and really a good distinction. Although it is a question of follow-up interviews, I am sure that this is the heart of people who are familiar with ACF. Of course, when Gutenberg appeared, how did you use other plug-ins similar to the ecosystem plug-ins to perform these tasks using the Block Editor? Will it be replaced by such questions? Of course, as the Block Editor becomes the core, we know there will be many. We’ve seen people react to it over time. I would like to take a closer look at this process. I need a rest. I’ll be back soon. The
Dv: welcome to WMR’s press this WordPress community podcast. Scott Kingsley Clark introduces the Ford framework and block editor program. Scott briefly introduced the basic features of the Ford frame before the break. In essence, plug-ins allow you to create advanced content types using specific policies and this integrated data type approach. Although you don’t have a word in your mouth, for clarity, are Ford’s hero customers new developers with specific technology Suites? Please help me understand who tunkey revenue users are. The
SKC: of course. Therefore, like the map on the site, Ford can design the streets needed in the home that wants to stay on the street, or plan the whole city like SimCity on the plug-in. However, the people who get most of the benefits from pod are often those who have little experience in word press and coding and in many cases, but also have very advanced developer functions. As I said, advanced custom content types are a very specific feature that can create an entire table, fill in the required content and fields, and associate with other advanced content types. That. But that’s optional. If necessary, it can be opened, but it is not used by most users, so there is a very obvious line between user types. This does not mean that there are hero users in the plug-in, such as advanced custom fields. You can really be anyone, creating plug-ins or building sites with advanced custom fields. It is also a developer. It also applies to Ford, but Ford developers need more work. We
Not published directly. Do you want to publish now? Dv: ah, of course. But I want to ask you a simple question about what you have now, so we can focus on it. Then what I want to know is what you will disclose is very appropriate. Then it should be on deck. Maybe it should have a plan for the future. How’s Scott’s job? So I mentioned a custom field today, which is generated by Ford available in the block editor. How to use? Fields added to custom blocks or self-locking are part of the bottom page to help you understand how they work. SKC: indeed, they are part of the common metal box integration at the bottom and are integrated with the block editor in such a way that their functions remain the same. In the classic block editor. Therefore, there will be no conflict in JavaScript and no such strange problem in function. The amount of work we do on a particular name allows us to go a step further and actually create blocks and own the entire block. The PHP API performs the same tasks as the JavaScript API, so you don’t need to know the reaction when using the Ford building block, and you can perform excellent tasks. Dv: that is still alive. SKC: it’s on the deck. It’s a huge function launched according to its needs. Although we didn’t plan to own it as part of pod2.8, we did a lot of work. In response to the release, we did the work, we were there, we just built. I spent a lot of time. Although I didn’t receive money for my time working in Potter, I donated my time. Although it’s such a donation, I just, really, I like doing parts work. My full-time job working for modern tribes is very interesting. I build plug-in products for modern deficiencies. I was one of the chief developers there and worked on the event ticket platform they owned. Dv: as a matter of fact, I didn’t know that I was an Aidan nationality sitting on this ship. Shane did everything for Peter. I worked together recently because it was 4 years ago. Later, I realized that she was actually a recent guest, and she didn’t remember her name. She just worked with the tribe. Really handsome. So, basically in Ford. In fact, the audience who may not be familiar with it is basically making suits that can get Ford. This is essentially about creating such special content types. Fields that can be populated. And now you’re not talking about creating that kind of content type in a sense. It also provides the ability for people to create blocks. Is that sound right? Skc:ford 2.8 has the function of building blocks. Although they are not the interfaces used by the administrator side, they are part of the developer’s extended feature set at present and will appear in the future. Once you know that you must import several projects first, you can use the administrator interface to continue building more projects. Um. Dv:scott clearly pointed out that by default, the new part of 2.8 will be the interface that developers can build blocks similar to DIY functions in the future. Skc: yes, yes, that’s right. This is a developer centric content. We’ll see some really good examples that can be used by non developers. It’s cool, but it costs a lot of money. Creating generic blocks takes time, so it is the same as the available small block tools. Create Ford blocks there and take advantage of the wonderful features built for parts and quick code. Gutenberg block
I will. However, related to the Block Editor itself, it sounds like a lot of functionality has been added within the pause, with some enhancements and improvements. What is the most important thing in the above list to improve the Block Editor itself? SKC: if you say you can go into the text imprint core and do anything, you can say you are a block editor. This will take you to the previous points about reaction and JavaScript learning and depth. I believe in four developers. JavaScript reacts deeply, but learns at the same time. What about all the people who can’t do it? People who do not have this ability, have no resources or funds, and just want to find a job may be expelled from their jobs. Without knowing why, people react to all types of reasons why they are not able to learn a particular skill. And I think we can do better to connect these points. It would be a great thing if there were more PHP APIs to connect the advanced custom fields outside Oregon and Ford. There. Dv: don’t be WordPress. Open ecosystem means that if we choose to make people comfortable, there are often ways and kinds of bridges to contribute. If you like, this is a bridge to take advantage of new values. Yeah, Scott. This is great. Thank you for your company today SKC: look. Glad to be a partner. Dv: very good. If you want to know more about what Scott is doing, pods. Access io. After examining the Ford framework, a new block building feature will be available soon. Thank you to all who listened to the WordPress community podcast at WMR.
