At WCEU 2024, you’ll build real WordPress sites with physical puzzle pieces!

We are working on printing puzzle pieces that represent site configuration steps like installing a plugin or changing the site name. Attendees will be able to collect and scan them with an app that will load Playground with the configuration they put together.

Ask for WCEU sponsors

We would like to offer puzzle pieces to WCEU sponsors with booths (Super Admin, Admin, Editor, and Author).

If you are a WCEU sponsor and would like to have a Playground puzzle piece as swag in your booth please comment here or on the Making WordPress Slack.

Each sponsor can get one unique piece for a theme or a plugin they own. The product must be publically available on WordPress.org and work with WordPress Playground.

The design of puzzle pieces will use WordPress branding.

Timeline

We accept applications until May 10th. After that we will finalize the design and print the puzzle pieces.

We are currently collecting interest from sponsors, designing puzzle pieces, and printing.

Once this is done, we will decide on the total number of unique pieces and the volume we can print.

Printed pieces will be distributed during contributor day.

This is mostly it what we have written about it. I have some time scheduled next week to work on a prototype that will include more technical details and how the app will work/look.

@andreylipattsev Are there any specific questions I could answer for you?

@andreylipattsev the original idea was as follows:

  • You can take "puzzles" representing blueprint steps like site title, install plugin, etc
  • Assemble them manually
  • Use function calling to turn a picture of this representation into a blueprint and launch the site

Here is my original demo which is VERY hacky, so the end result will be probably much much different, but maybe it would give you an idea what its all about:

Hi @miriamelementor, it would be great to have an Elementor puzzle piece.
Just to confirm this would install the Hello Elementor theme?

I tested it with Playgound and it works.

@miriamelementor

The puzzle piece could install Hello Theme, but we'd prefer if it installed the Elementor plugin that's in the repo. Or I guess it could install both, if that's technically feasible and not too much :)

Thanks! I tested it and there seems to be an issue where our onboarding wizard gets stuck at the end. Our team is going to look into it. Do you know around when you will start promoting this "puzzle"?

Also, is it possible to also bundle our Image Optimizer plugin in our piece? That's the last one lol

Hello guys, and thanks for this great initiative. We at YITH would gladly participate. I have a question though, we would like to install one of our plugins for WooCommerce, but this requires also WooCommerce to be installed to work. Do you think this would be possible? My question is primary because it's a third-party product ;)

Yes, we could install a YITH plugin together with WooCommerce. Technically we can do anything that blueprints can do.

Here is an example with YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards

We plan to promote it only during WCEU by allowing attendees to collect them.

Done, we will also allow everyone to edit their blueprints (configuration) in a few days when we finish the main part of the app.

Love the idea, we'd like to put forward our ACF plugin (https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/) please if that's possible.

That's a fantastic idea! 🚀 Unfortunately, being a Small Business sponsor, we're not eligible for the Optimole plugin. Nevertheless, good luck with the implementation!

Hello! The team at InMotion Hosting (Author) would love to participate by including a puzzle piece for the W3 Total Cache plugin. Thanks!

I added W3 Total Cache to the list. While testing the plugin I noticed that some functionality isn't working in Plaground because we still don't support CURL in the browser.

@carriesmaha could I ask you to test the plugin and see with your team how can we reduce the number of issues in the future?

@glx77 unfortunately Weglot is crashing when the settings page is loaded in Playground. You can test it here. This is caused by Playground not supporting CURL in the browser.

We are working on CURL support, but we don't know when browser support will be added.

Unfortunately because of that, I don't think it would make sense to offer a Weglot puzzle piece for this event.
Feel free to contact me on Slack if you want to discuss this more.

@bgrgicak our "puzzle piece" is looking good, but there's a technical issue towards the end of the user onboarding process. It appears to be related to the playground embedding the WordPress site within an iframe without including the allow-top-navigation HTML attribute. This attribute, when set to true, allows the embedded content to change the URL of the parent window, but if missing or set to false, it restricts this navigation for security reasons. Unfortunately, we lack control over the HTML attributes of the playground iframe.

Is there someway this can be changed?

We just merged the Puzzle app into the Playground repository and it should be live on Playground.WordPress.net next week.

I added blueprints for each product, but please take a look at them and consider if there is anything you would like to improve.

You can open a PR in case you want to make changes to your blueprint.

Also please consider adding previews to your WordPress.org listings. These previews use blueprints and Playground, so it should be just a matter of testing and pushing your blueprint to SVN.

The puzzle pieces are being printed. You can see the final design in the PDF (Front Back). We went with a neutral branding because Playground doesn't have it's own identity for now and we wouldn't be able to match each individual product branding.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all at WCEU!

@Neringakaval we disabled Yoast in the app for now. There is a SQL error when the plugin is starting. Could someone from your team take a look at it to see why is this error occurring? If it's a Playground issue, please open an issue and I'm happy to take a look at it. If we can't resolve it before WCEU, I would suggest we update the blueprint to prevent this code from running.

@miriamelementor I had to remove the Image Optimizer plugin because it doesn't work in Playground.
Playground still lacks exif support which is required for your plugin to work.

Hi @bgrgicak, I tested the updated app and the pdf puzzle pieces in this comment, but it looks like the YITH piece installs the YITH Gift Cards plugin, instead of the YITH Wishlist with all the configuration that we shared. Can you help us check on that please?

When I click on "Build your site" the browser just keeps spinning and spinning. I tried in incognito and it was the same story. I'm attaching a screencast demonstrating this.

I investigated this and the only way I could reproduce it was by not focusing the tab. The loader was waiting for camera access, but the browser didn't show the popup because it wasn't focused.

We made a few design changes that should prevent this from happening.
