Feedback from a teacher: "Does the summary box have any purpose? AFAIK there's no way for students to see it. Is it just for us if we want to put a summary for our own organization? If so, can it get moved down/hidden? It's where most people would expect to type their post, and I constantly have to remind students and have them edit/repost since they're putting their posts in there, rather than a content block. On the same lines, could we have a markdown block open by default? Would save some time/clicks/mistakes."

Remedies:

Front-end

  • Hide summary field by default, make available under an "add summary" toolbar button
  • Explain post summary better in placeholder text
  • Make blog posts actually use summary when set on blog feeds
  • Include a markdown content item by default, automatically delete if not populated
  • Discourage empty blog posts with a warning

Back-end

  • Use a migration to check for blog posts with summary but no content, move summary to a markdown content item and clear summary
