Unify theme block placeholder content #35517

Part of #35501.

Unifies the content of site editor block placeholder states by simply echoing the block name.

Before After
Screenshot 2021-10-11 at 15 59 08

To test:

  • Open Site Editor
  • Insert the following blocks, ensuring none of them have data references (the 404 template is a good place to test):
    • Post Title
    • Post Content
    • Post Date
    • Post Excerpt
    • Post Author
    • Term Description
    • Next Post
    • Previous Post
    • Archive Title
    • Post Categories
    • Post Tags
  • Ensure placeholder content matches the screenshot above

Unfortunately Post Categories and Post Tags blocks are variations of the Post Terms block, so I don't think we can be more explicit on the canvas.

Nice one, took it for a spin and seeing this:
Screenshot 2021-10-12 at 10 15 59

I'm testing inside the post editor even though you said site editor, because I'm a rebel. (I'll also come back to the site editor). Here's some testing content:

<!-- wp:post-title /-->

<!-- wp:post-content /-->

<!-- wp:post-date /-->

<!-- wp:post-excerpt /-->

<!-- wp:post-author /-->

<!-- wp:term-description /-->

<!-- wp:post-navigation-link /-->

<!-- wp:post-navigation-link {"type":"previous"} /-->

<!-- wp:query-title {"type":"archive"} /-->

<!-- wp:post-terms {"term":"category"} /-->

<!-- wp:post-terms {"term":"post_tag"} /-->

I'm noting that this PR is only for the verbiage, which is good to unify. Two thoughts, though:

  • "Post content" without the period at the end feels like an incomplete sentence, even though it's meant to be the title of the block. It seems like it should be either "Post Content", titlecase, or "Post content." with a period, or a combination? That would also fix the discrepancy with the Post Author which is still titlecase.
  • While I'm not particularly a fan of "Post Terms: post not found." — it does read like something you'd see in an editor when there actually aren't any terms to output. Just "Post terms" feels like it courts the territory of looking like content. Is there some balance we can find between these extremes, that makes the label feel like a message from the block rather than content?

That would also fix the discrepancy with the Post Author which is still titlecase.

Good spot. I think I lean towards titlecase. It doesn't feel quite right for the Post Content block, but feels more appropriate in general.

Re post terms, ideally the output should be contextual, IE "Post Categories" instead of "Post Terms". Unfortunately this is beyond my skill to implement since these are block variations.

One note. It probably would be better to use the i18n function with the context so there is only one translation used. For the block title it is block title:

In other places it's handled with _x:

return _x( settingValue, i18nSchema, textdomain );

Oh yeah that sounds better, unfortunately I'm not sure how to do that 😞

The following should do the trick:

- <p>{ __( 'Post Content' ) }</p>
+ <p>{ _x( 'Post Content', 'block title' ) }</p>
