# 05:10 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 05:17 colintedford Wordpress people (e.g. GWG): If you publish notes (or just untitled posts), how do you deal with WP's title field & the slug?
# 05:18 prtksxna colintedford: Enter a slug by hand and not fill anything in the title
# 05:18 prtksxna That is what I do, not sure if its the right way though
# 05:20 GWG colintedford: I put something in the title field, but I don't display it
# 05:20 colintedford Leaving the title blank may cause feed readers or Facebook link preview to show either nothing (possibly no link) or "Untitled".
# 05:22 colintedford It also had shortcodes you could use but at that point might as well copy & paste.
# 05:24 colintedford My current thought is I'd like to use the text up to the first "pausing" punctuation (comma, [semi]colon, period, etc.)
# 05:24 colintedford So I'm manually copying that into the field to see how I feel about it.
# 05:25 colintedford I'm also wrapping that segment in p-name in preparation for when I have the rest of the h-entry markup.
# 05:25 GWG I'm doing the markup automatically. I don't mind adding boxes to my post UI.
# 05:26 colintedford I set up a button for the p-name markup, but I'd like to have it happen automatically by the criteria above and have that fill the title too.
# 05:27 GWG colintedford: That could be done by a plugin, if you have parameters
# 05:28 colintedford Yeah, I'm not a programmer but I was thinking about trying to modify the existing auto-title plugin.
# 05:28 colintedford But figured I'd ask to see if anyone else was interested, especially enough to do it instead of me ;)
# 05:28 GWG colintedford: I'm not one either.
# 05:30 colintedford Wait, what is your day job again (vaguely if need be)? I thought I remembered it sounding technical.
# 05:30 GWG I train people in a corporate setting
# 05:30 GWG I studied to be a librarian though
# 05:31 GWG I took programming in school some years ago.
# 05:35 GWG Not exactly. Though everyone uses computers.
# 05:35 GWG Most jobs require them, so I do show people a little of that as needed
# 05:36 GWG But, I have to learn PHP commands as I need them
# 05:36 GWG colintedford: Pull Requests, Issues, and Feature Requests always welcome
# 05:37 colintedford Holding off on adding the cool new indieweb features b/c it'll make it harder for me to migrate later
# 05:38 GWG Well, I design things based on my ability.
# 05:38 GWG I added a bunch of boxes to allow data to be stored.
# 05:38 GWG I haven't gotten to writing code to automatically fill them
# 05:39 kylewm I thought WP had an aside post type that didn't need a title?
# 05:40 GWG kylewm: It doesn't display a title
# 05:40 GWG And it isn't a post type. It is a post format
# 05:40 colintedford Asides typically have the title hidden but it depends on them support.
# 05:41 GWG I don't think I ever explained Post Kinds in a post
# 05:41 colintedford Usually they're hidden w/ CSS but I'm actually taking the title markup for Asides out of my theme altogether.
# 05:41 kylewm GWG: Post Kind, Format, and Type are three distinct concepts??
# 05:42 GWG WordPress has Custom Post Types. Which are more content types
# 05:43 GWG Post Formats are a custom taxonomy that is used to style posts.
# 05:43 GWG The taxonomy slug for post formats happens to be 'type' though
# 05:43 GWG So, I needed a term that wasn't being used
# 05:43 GWG Post Kinds are my custom taxonomy that is used to classify Indieweb styles of posts
# 05:44 GWG Such as Reply, Like, Favorite, Bookmark, Article, Note, etc.
# 05:44 GWG All without needing to add a bunch of Custom Post Types.
wolftune and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 05:48 GWG Originally, Indieweb Post Kinds was Indieweb Taxonomy. But I rewrote it to work a bit more like Post Formats.
# 05:54 colintedford !tell tantek re: https://indiewebcamp.com/note#Note_Type_Algorithm it looks like " if the tname is a prefix of tcontent" only applies to ellipsed names (w/ ellipsis dropped for the check); is it also meant to apply to non-ellipsed? Wondering b/c I'm thinking of setting my note names w/ a span on the text up to first punctuation.
# 05:54 Loqi Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
# 05:58 colintedford !tell tantek Er wait, I guess notes are supposed to be plaintext-y so maybe that makes my notes not fit the "standard" definition? Looking for input anyway.

# 12:12 Loqi petermolnar: kylewm left you a message on 1/7 at 11:14am: genuinely curious, why do you say the MySQL storage backend for Known is not nice?
# 12:13 petermolnar re kylewm & known vs mysql: the last time I checked known was storing json strings in mysql with data that, in a relational db, should be in separate columns, with proper table interconnections; MySQL is not a document storage system and should not be treated as one

# 16:50 petermolnar kylewm it can be forced, yes, but you're using a relational db to do something else
# 16:52 ben_thatmust well depends. if you never plan to use that data to do joins at all inside sql, there isn't really too much of a downside
# 16:53 petermolnar apart from the serious waste of storage, the bandwidth overhead for transporting the data and the lack of using the proper data types, no, there are no downsides
# 16:54 petermolnar ( I know storage is somewhat cheap today, but that does not make it right not to optimize )
KartikPrabhu and davidmead joined the channel
# 17:03 ben_thatmust the storage isn't that serious really, assuming you store as text its an adjusting size field, you are storing the field names again, sure, but you also are dropping any indexes and field types for all those other fields you would need otherwise. plus you have to manage migrations any time you add something, bandwidth is the same arguement
# 17:04 ben_thatmust lack of data types is choice, depending on what you are using it for, thats fine
# 17:04 ben_thatmust if you are only using the field in an untyped language, it doesn't matter at all

# 19:53 aaronpk "audio" seems generic enough. rather than "sound" or "music"

# 20:20 aaronpk KevinMarks: we're talking about the name of the form field
# 20:20 aaronpk <input type="file" name="photo"> <input type="file" name="video">
# 20:21 aaronpk oh no why does webmention.io think that the site deaths page is kevin's tweet?
# 20:22 aaronpk well that is strange, bridgy is showing that as a like-of the site-deaths page
# 20:23 aaronpk is that because it's the last URL in the tweet so it thinks it's a permacitation?

# 20:24 kylewm is that strange? I thought bridgy always did that if it didn't find an alternative original post

# 20:25 aaronpk that's too bad tho, i can't really fix that on my end cause bridgy is saying that's a fav of the wiki page
# 20:28 aaronpk if someone is using citations in that format, then wouldn't they always be either a) preceded by ellipses, or b) wrapped in parentheses?

# 20:29 aaronpk hm I see, yours are sometimes more like the post title with a link to the post

# 20:47 kylewm I guess the case where you wouldn't have ellipsis or parentheses is if you were POSSEing an article to twitter, with just "title link"

# 21:06 KevinMarks Bridgy is a bit over eager to think that a tweet is a POSSE tweet
# 21:07 KevinMarks I get that a lot as I frequently tweet a link to my own posts as part of a discussion
# 21:09 KevinMarks And bridgy decides it's a POSSE, so doesn't show context for subsequent replies. I like getting the replies, but missing my link can make the webmentions look odd
# 21:09 aaronpk maybe there could be a way for a domain to opt-out of that overaggressive assumption

# 21:26 tantek are are you trying to avoid an HTTP request of the original-post
# 21:27 snarfed that resolves it for people who provide u-syndication links
# 21:27 tantek really? hmm. I thought with known (so to speak) that they are now the majority
# 21:28 kylewm part of the problem was people syndicating and then manually adding the u-syndication links ... there's a race condition
# 21:28 snarfed known is a good plurality of indieweb sites, but not sure it's the majority
# 21:28 snarfed regardless, i can rephrase as, i don't plan to make syndication links a req't for bridgy users
# 21:29 tantek that seems like a reasonable config requirement

# 23:49 snarfed it's not just pscs/psls that get interpreted as original posts

# 23:55 KevinMarks It's partly my fault for using twitter directly and not posting notes on my own site perhaps?
