| Description | Setting up individual blocks may be difficult for people, especially if those blocks require additional structure or content to go with them.
1) Introduce an ability for blocks to define a configuration wizard, as a method within the block. 2) Add a shell page in the Admin Zone that can run the wizard for a chosen block that supports it. 3) When installing an addon that contains a block have an option in the addon_registry hook specifying which block's configuration wizard to redirect to after installation (if any). Only applies if a single addon is being installed, not for mass installs. 4) Have a developer tool that can create default PHP code for a block's configuration wizard method based on the UI of the block's configuration settings. I don't love code generators but in this case it's a good idea to speed this up. Implement for many blocks, including bundled ones, and ones from non-bundled addons (especially data_mappr and user_mappr addons). |
