WP Show Posts migration

    I’m trying to migrate from WP Show Posts to the Generate Blocks Query Loop and I found one feature that’s missing. WP Show Posts will check for the presence of the “more” tag in the post content to decide whether to call the_content or the_excerpt. I can’t figure out a way to accomplish this with the Query Loop. I can have the query loop output the Post Excerpt block or the Post Content block but I can’t get it to choose which one based on the presence of the “more” tag. Maybe a new block type is required to do this?

    I was able to use the Post Excerpt block along with the “get_the_excerpt” filter to get this working. Something like this:

    add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'my_the_excerpt', 10, 2 );
function my_the_excerpt( $excerpt, $post ) {
    if ( strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more-->' ) ) {
        return get_the_content();
    }
    return $excerpt;
}
