Thanks for taking this on @Mamaduka :) One problem with this execution is that if you have a static homepage (which uses the Page template), then the 'Site' menu item appears active if you open the Page template which feels a bit strange:
Ideally 'Site' should only be active when:
The issue on trunk is that Site also becomes active when you select a template. |
|
@jameskoster, I'm not able to reproduce the issue. For example, if I visit P.S. The homepage will say "Page" in the top toolbar when using a static template. |
|
Hmm, you're right. Maybe my build didn't complete before I refreshed 🙈 Seems to be working now :) I did notice another issue (although perhaps not something to fix here). If you click 'Site' from the templates list it will collapse the nav panel and load the site homepage. However if you click 'Site' whilst editing a template then the nav panel remains open. I wonder if these behaviours should be consistent? Happy to open a new issue if you prefer :) |

@jameskoster, I believe that's intentional and not related to these changes. gutenberg/packages/edit-site/src/components/app/index.js Lines 51 to 59 in 5bfc80b |

@Mamaduka thanks for looking into that, I guess we can address that point separately – I'll open an issue. Returning to this PR, I see only one remaining scenario to consider – the front-page template. Since that will always resolve to display the homepage regardless of reading settings, perhaps we should highlight the 'Site' menu item when it's being edited. What do you think? |

@jameskoster, that's a good point. I've updated the logic to account for P.S. I've also realized that I made a mistake in the |

@kevin940726, do you think it's worth extracting this into a utility function like getIsListPage?

Oops, only just saw this now. I don't have a preference, but usually I'd only do that if it's repeated multiple times.

I do the same. I will extract it into a function when there's a need.

I rebased and resolved merge conflicts. I think the remaining question is about a11y. To quote @kevin940726 - #36821 (comment)

I don't think I understand the problem 🤔 |
|
@jameskoster, If I understand correctly, the problem is missing |
|
It seems justified to me that a navigation menu can entertain a state where there is no currently-selected item. So I don't think that should be a problem. It would be good to get a11y sign-off from someone with more expertise though :D |

@jameskoster, should we merge this? Will the same active menu logic apply once the Browser Mode is merged? |
|
It's not yet clear whether the 'Site' or 'Browse' menu item will be needed long term (#44770 for context). But I don't think that should stop us merging this PR, since it's a clear enhancement on the current behaviour. |

Thanks, @jameskoster 🙇 I just rebased and will merge after all checks are green. We'll probably get more feedback after this is merged into the plugin. |
