Suggestion: search global block by ID too

Hi
I have many global blocks, and when a global block is used, only the id is put into the raw text element. This makes it next to impossible to hunt for that same block for editing later, unless you know it’s name.
It seems here a future version can add lots of useful functionality with very little additional coding. Please do it!

thanks!
Alfredo

Hi Alfredo,

We certainly appreciate the feedback! This is something we can add to our list of feature requests. This way it can be taken into consideration for future development. All of these items are discussed with our team internally and prioritized based on the amount of interest a particular feature might receive.

Thanks!

… and how hard it is to implement. You can get a lot for a little sometimes.

Hello @flashfog,

We have already made a feature request so it might be taken into account in the future. But, Regretfully, we don’t have any ETA for that currently, please stay tuned for the succeeding releases.

Thanks for understanding

Hi Alfredo,

I’ve checked into this, and regretfully it’s not all that simple to implement. In the next version of Pro/Cornerstone we switched to using WP_Query to power those searches so we can make the list infinitely scroll. This is better for performance since we don’t have to load all the items at once. WordPress doesn’t search by ID, so we can’t accommodate this.

However, after reading this thread I gather the main issue is not being able to quickly identify Global Blocks. We could introduce naming, which would let you do something like [cs_gb name="primary-cta"] for example. I will add this as a feature request instead since it is more approachable for us.

Thank you! yes it’s about being able to find the same global block you know you are working on. Once you click on a block to edit, you lose all reference of it’s id

You are most welcome!
