About this plugin

Mephivio Sommaire adds a responsive post summary grouped by category. It is designed for blogs, magazines, knowledge bases and editorial websites that need a readable index of published articles.

Use the shortcode:

[flappy_sommaire]

…or add the “Mephivio Sommaire” block directly from the block inserter — same rendering, same settings, with a live preview and an inspector panel in the editor. A native Elementor widget is also available (no need to paste the shortcode into an HTML widget).

Main features:
* Native Gutenberg block (“Mephivio Sommaire” in the block inserter) and a native Elementor widget, alongside the shortcode.
* Any public content type (posts by default, pages, portfolio, WooCommerce products…) grouped by any public taxonomy: categories, tags, WooCommerce product categories or a custom taxonomy.
* Optional nested subcategories, shown right after their parent category.
* 1 to 4 columns, globally or per shortcode / block / widget.
* Optional author and estimated reading time under each title, and a “Last updated” sort.
* Shareable filters: the active category is reflected in the URL (?sommaire-cat=slug).
* Optional Schema.org ItemList structured data (JSON-LD).
* Manual, drag-and-drop category ordering.
* Two thumbnail layouts: compact (52×52) or a full-width “magazine card” style.
* Optional view counter per post (works with page caching), with a “Popularity” sort option.
* Export and import settings as a JSON file — handy for duplicating a configuration across several client sites.

  • Category-based post summary.
  • Live search on titles and excerpts, including full server-side search across all articles when pagination or infinite scroll is active.
  • Clickable category filters, with accessible aria-pressed state.
  • Optional thumbnails (responsive srcset), dates and excerpts.
  • Pagination or infinite scroll.
  • Light rendering mode, or an optional mode that follows the visitor’s browser/system light-dark preference.
  • Configurable colors, typography and responsive breakpoint.
  • Server-side token handling for safer pagination and search, through the REST API (mephivio-sommaire/v1) with an automatic admin-ajax fallback. Works on pages served by a page cache.
  • Cached category grouping for better performance on high-traffic pages, automatically refreshed when posts, categories or settings change.
  • Multilingual interface: French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Breton.
