Prototype: Navigation editing with drill-down UI in Extensible Site Editor#75957
Conversation
Template parts use string IDs (slugs like 'twentytwentyfive//footer') rather than numeric IDs. The post-edit route was only handling numeric IDs, causing 404s when navigating to edit template parts.
…vigation edit Adapted from Jerry's PR #75791 approach, but with render-time unlock instead of module-level unlock because wp-block-library is loaded lazily via useEditorAssets() in the Extensible Site Editor. - Access block-library private APIs via window.wp.blockLibrary.privateApis at render time - Add NavigationLinkControls + Popover for editing existing navigation links - Keep AdditionalBlockContent + LinkUI for newly inserted blocks - Remove file-copying workaround in favor of proper private API usage
Replace breadcrumbs with title containing back button and menu name. Adds subtitle for editing context.
- Add Badge component to show "Active (X locations)" or "Inactive" status - Create useNavigationStatus hook to count template part usage per menu - Preload template parts and fallback navigation in route loader - Display badges inline with navigation menu titles in list view
