Similar to the central entry points for blocks – GatherPress’ hookable-patterns, the plugin provides central administrative entry-points within the post- and site-editor for all block settings.
GatherPress keeps relevant post data about the currently edited venue or event post within slot inside the InseptorControls panel, specific for each post type. These open slots are used by GatherPress itself and can be filled externally.
Every slot belongs to one of each post type. Additionally the venue-slot will be added to the event-slot automatically.
Every GatherPress block with own administrative sidebar-elements registers a fill for either the venue- or the events-slot. Plugin developers should provide their additions to GatherPress within the slots as well, which will help keeping the overall admin interface clean & consistent.
Available Slots
EventPluginDocumentSettingsA slot that has all settings related to an event.VenuePluginDocumentSettingsA slot that has all settings related to a venue.
All slots will be rendered into the PluginDocumentSettingPanel imported from the @wordpress/editor package. This panel is shown in the document sidebar for the event and venue post types in both the post and site editor.
Fills by GatherPress
VenuePluginFillloads theVenuePluginDocumentSettingsslot into theEventPluginDocumentSettingsslot, so that venue changes can be made from within an event context.
