Add a custom Press type with a block and the meta boxes to configure it #35
Conversation

@otakupahp - Thanks for submitting a PR. The monorepo is intended for broadly reusable blocks, while this PR focuses on a project-specific post type ("Press"). We recommend moving this implementation in the project’s private repo instead of here in the monorepo. Let me know if you have any questions or need a hand. |

Hi, @nate-allen. Originally, this was just one client request, but after talking to @dhanson-wp, he agreed that it's a recurring requirement for projects. In fact, currently, I'm working on another project that also requires this Would you consider accepting this as a necessary recurring feature? |

@otakupahp it doesn't fit the structure or purpose of a blocks-only monorepo. I agree however that we need to keep track of plugins like yours in a better way generally, much like we already do with simple events for example, but this monorepo isn't the place for it. |

I understand, so is it ok to PR this in the original repo created for this? |
This creates a new CPT called Press Items (#34) with a Press Type category
A press item could be either internal or external:
When an external press item is visited, it will be redirected to the external source
The press item information must be added in the item sidebar
All press items require: content, cover image, outlet, author and press type
If any of those are missing, the press item can't be saved
The plugin creates a Singles Press template to show the internal press items
It also adds a pattern that can be added anywhere
The pattern uses a new block "Press Release fields" to shows either the Press Outlet or the Press Author
This block could be added a Prefix and Suffix
The block work with the new no-reload query
