Implement Block Locking in Tour Operator Block Templates, Patterns, and Blocks

[ashleyshaw]

Description

We need to plan out the implementation of block locking for the Tour Operator Plugin to control user editing capabilities effectively. This will ensure content consistency and maintain design integrity across all block templates, patterns, and blocks.

Objectives

• Identify which blocks should have editing restrictions.
• Determine where template and block locking should be applied (patterns, templates, individual blocks).
• Define the level of locking (e.g., prevent moving, removing, or modifying blocks).

Tasks

• Review all existing block templates and patterns to decide where block locking is required.
• Identify key blocks in the Tour Operator plugin that need partial or full locking.
• Implement template locking to restrict changes to predefined templates.
• Use block locking to limit modifications on critical components (e.g., navigation blocks, headers).
• Test the locked blocks to ensure that they behave as expected and maintain their structure.

Acceptance Criteria

• The locked blocks and templates must prevent unintended user modifications.
• Block locking should not hinder necessary customization by admins or advanced users.
• The implementation should be compatible with the WordPress block editor.
