Can I Use Block Elements for Dynamically Generated Archives?

Here is my situation:

I have a few pages where I dynamically generate archives based on specific criteria. I currently display each post in the archive by hooking into the generate_before_do_template_part action and using the generate_do_template_part filter to bypass the standard archive. I generate the html for each post in the archive using a simple php function.

Is there a way instead of using php I would instead use a block element for each post? Obviously I would have to use some shortcodes for dynamic elements like post title since the dynamic content option isn't available yet, but can this be done? Or is there a better way to do it?

I would love to have all the generated html possible in GP/GB for future maintenance and changes.

Hi there,

This is coming in the next GPP version. You'll have full control over your archives using Block Elements and GB - no need for shortcodes or template tags either. It's about 95% built, we're very close to releasing an alpha version :)

Any chance you need testers for an Alpha version :)

We make our alpha and beta versions available to all license holders.

When available, you'll see the download link in your account. You can also opt-in for updates via the Dashboard: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/beta-testing/

Testing is always appreciated! :)
