Description

This PR adds all the features of the tags theme function, https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_tags, to the Post Tags block as @mtias suggested in #19580 (comment).

How has this been tested?

It was verified that changing the before and after texts, and the separator, works as expected.

-			$output .= '<a href="' . get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) . '">' . $tag->name . '</a>' . ' | ';
-		}
-		return trim( $output, ' | ' );
+		$output = array_map(


Do you think it'd be feasible to use the_tags() for rendering and just map the attributes?

That echos the output, and we lose the ability to add more features in the future.

Wow, a Post Tags block! Nice work! I tested it out and have a bit of feedback.

1. Using the keyboard to navigate was difficult.
The arrow keys didn't operate as i imagined they would. And highlighting the before and after text to type something else was a bit awkward. It would be great to refine the keyboard experience here.

2. I enjoy editing the dividers in place.
Editing the the dividers is definitely not obvious, but a fun little easter egg. I wonder if we can help share what can be done here in the description of the block?

3. The Before/After text was confusing.
I wasn't sure if this text was editable or not. I couldn't highlight the text to type something else in its place. When clicking into those sections, maybe hide the placeholder text similarly to how it works in a Paragraph block.

I wonder if removing the "After text." might be a good idea so that it helps diminish the cognitive discernment between what is editable and what's not.

Maybe the "Before text." can be reworded to just say "Tags:" from the beginning? "Before text." appears to be more of a mistake here than any sort of help IMO.

4. No tags.
Can we be a bit more descriptive here? Maybe, "No tags have been added to this post." I also think this text should match the grey of the placeholder text.

5. Hash tags.
I'd like to be able to add hashtags to the front of each tag. Maybe this should exist in the sidebar settings?

When I tried adding hashtags, I couldn't get it appended to the first tag.

I thought the same.

epiqueras · 2020-02-25T12:50:32Z

I enjoy editing the dividers in place.

Can we surface them through a particular background color or something?

The Before/After text was confusing.

What's a better placeholder? Just ... maybe?

Hash tags.

Should we support arbitrary prefixes, or is this limited enough in scope that we can make it a toggle/select thing?

kjellr · 2020-02-25T20:42:01Z

Should the default separator here be a comma instead of a pipe? I feel like that tends to be used more commonly.

shaunandrews · 2020-02-28T16:14:36Z

Maybe the "Before text." can be reworded to just say "Tags:" from the beginning?

Agreed. "Tags" would make more sense and encourage interaction with the text.

removing the "After text."

I don't think the $after value is very relevant for the block. On the theme function, the $after value allows you to close any html tags. I'm not sure there's much value in having any actual content after the tags and it feels like it adds unnecessary complexity to the block.

Should the default separator here be a comma

A big +1 here.

Agreed, I was confused as to why it existed, to be honest.

@mtias Do you think these changes make sense? Do you see a use for the "after text"?

gziolo · 2020-10-28T13:49:23Z

@mtias, can you check this PR and let us know if this is something that should be continued or can be closed. It's outdated now.
