Morrigan Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So I have a ton of blocks and well I'm starting to lose control of them and figured it may be a good idea to request some feature enhancements for it so that I can both clean up my blocks and also use them more efficiently. Of course there is categorizing which is great but sometimes I mis-categorize some of my blocks. This is a particular pain point when you have to look for it on the front end. The enhancements on the front end I'd like are: Categories collapsed by default when you open the edit bit, this way I don't have to scroll through my massive list of blocks or manually close them until the right category comes up. Ability to search the list like you can search in the ACP, just a quick like "block title" search that filters out any blocks that don't have that title. It would just make life so much easier. Next! I don't know which of my blocks are in circulation and where so trying to clean up, organize and get rid of unused blocks is a nightmare. Right now I see a list of blocks with the code and that's it and since I use a lot of Plugins the title could be repeated. The enhancements I'd like for this: At minimum I want a count of how many locations that a block is located on the manage screen. Bonus points if you can click on that number and see the locations like: Forums > Index, Page > Test, Gallery > Albums, Gallery > Categories The physical location doesn't matter (As in sidebar, header or footer) to me as much as the page it exists on.

rgf100 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 That's a good idea. I have plenty of legacy blocks hanging around which I'm *fairly* sure aren't used anywhere, but don't want to delete just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrigan Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Some are from pre 4.0 but I don’t remember which knowing where they are located you can tidy up etc. especially if you want to replace a block with a new design. This would make sure you don’t miss them. Edited March 12, 2021 by Morrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
