Query Loop Variations in Tour Operator

This plugin does not define a custom query-loop block; instead it modifies and augments core/query via PHP filters and wrapper classes. Key entry points:

  • render_block_data → saves flags (e.g., on-sale, parents-only) from className on core/query blocks.
  • posts_pre_query → replaces results with Featured sets when present.
  • query_loop_block_query_vars → injects or alters args (meta_query, post_parent, post__in) for variations such as related items.
  • render_block → conditionally hide wrapper sections when data is missing.

Wrappers that present query-driven content

  • facts-country-wrapper, facts-regions-wrapper – show parent/child relationships.
  • units + unit-rooms – output rooms/units.
  • itinerary + day-by-day – pattern-based, rendering itinerary lists.
  • featured-accommodation – dedicated feature slot.

Variation keys & flags

The PHP class detects a key from wrapper CSS classes like facts-*-wrapper or lsx-*-wrapper, then maps to query args:

  • on-sale (class on core/query) ⇒ adds meta_query to require sale_price.
  • parents-only ⇒ sets post_parent = 0.
  • Related lookups:
    • tour-related-accommodation, accommodation-related-accommodation ⇒ uses connection meta to build post__in.
    • Destination-driven relations ⇒ merges connected items from destination meta.

What to ship for 2.1

  • Keep using core/query with block variations and patterns for UX.
  • Document CSS-class flags in editor help.
  • Provide curated Query Loop patterns: “Featured Tours”, “Parent Regions”, “Related Accommodation”.
  • Add unit tests for query arg filters (PHP) and editor smoke tests for patterns.
