#
GWG snarfed, if you set custom text for Bridgy using the silo-content class, does it add the back link or do you have to do that yourself?
#
miklb that reminds me, I need to add a metabox for setting custom excerpts

gRegorLove Good evening, indieweb.
#
GWG Good evening, gRegorLove
#
gRegorLove Anyone have experience with setting up automatic email forwarding, something a la sneakemail.com ? I'd like to give out unique addresses for different sites, but one one of my own domains, not theirs.
#
gRegorLove Addresses which I can then turn off if they get out to spammers
#
gRegorLove Howdy GWG. How's your evening going?
#
miklb gRegorLove I've done myname+service@example.com
#
GWG I'm trying to clean up my frankenstein merging of Barnaby's mf2-cleaner, pfefferle's Semantic Linkbacks parsing code, and some recent additions I took from aaronpk's x-ray code into a nice simpler mf2 helper.
#
gRegorLove miklb: That's sort of what I'm wanting. Do you set up each address manually though? Have certain software handling it automatically? Or?
#
miklb I've only done manual.
#
GWG Also the camel case doesn't help my attempt to comply with WordPress Coding Standards, so I might as well change the function names.
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed gRegorLove: most registrars/hosts should let you wildcard forward, e.g. *@gregorlove.com
#
snarfed mine does
#
GWG snarfed, if you set custom text for Bridgy using the silo-content class, does it add the back link or do you have to do that yourself?
#
snarfed GWG: not sure! i'll look
#
snarfed if you're thinking of using that to fix the permalink though, i wouldn't recommend it
#
snarfed truncating for twitter is surprisingly difficult, lots of special cases
#
GWG snarfed: No. Got a complaint from someone that the link wasn't going into their tweet
#
snarfed aha
#
GWG Last time I thought it was me, it was Bridgy.
#
GWG So I figured this time I'd assume Bridgy before I drove myself crazy
#
gRegorLove snarfed: I want semi-manual, like I don't want anything coming to @gregorlove.com to get through.
#
gRegorLove s/anything/everything/
#
GWG Oh, by the way on my current tribulations before I forgoet.
#
GWG forget.

#
gRegorLove Really important to update WordPress to 4.7.2 btw if you're running 4.7.0 or 4.7.1: https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/02/reminder-to-update-to-wordpress-4-7-2-and-check-your-site/
#
GWG Went through every site I control already
#
miklb when I read one of the notes, you also had to have a plugin that could execute php in a post, which is always a bad idea, but still worth updating
#
gRegorLove 1.8M+ sites defaced apparently: https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/02/rapid-growth-in-rest-api-defacements/
#
snarfed gRegorLove: i suspect you actually want fully automated. i've been doing this for >15y, i've easily used >1k *@ryanb.org addresses, one per site/service. no way in hell i would have made each of those manually.
#
snarfed (and spam filters are very good. let them do their job. :P)
#
snarfed GWG: yes, bridgy-[silo]-content still adds permalink
#
snarfed i'll update docs
#
GWG Darn. Back to me again
#
GWG Eventually I will figure out why davidmead keeps having problems

#
snarfed GWG: use bridgy logs to debug?
#
GWG I intend to.

#
gRegorLove snarfed: Good point. As long as I'm using gmail, spam filters should be good.

techlifeweb GWG: Are you around?
#
GWG techlifeweb: I think I am.
#
techlifeweb :)
#
techlifeweb You said the bridgy publish "This is now supported by filter in the new version." for custom post types. I'm not sure what you mean by "filter" were do I set this?
#
GWG techlifeweb: You'd have to set it in code. There is no user interface for it. I could give you a line.
#
techlifeweb the code of my custom type?
#
GWG Add your post type to the filter 'bridgy_publish_post_types' and it will show the metabox.
#
GWG What is the name of your post type?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "name of your post type" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
techlifeweb GWG: I think I called it posse
#
techlifeweb ok but were is the filter?
#
GWG techlifeweb: Check direct message. I wrote it out.
#
miklb that was a lot easier than I thought it would be
#
GWG miklb: What was?
#
miklb adding the quote post kind. Just tested and it worked. Sending a pull request now

#
techlifeweb Been going back and forth between Known and Wordpress lately. Mostly just for testing and seeing what works.
#
GWG techlifeweb: WordPress is going along slowly.
#
techlifeweb I've been using WP for my Indieweb stuff for quite awhile. It works well.
#
techlifeweb I was checking Known because it is a nice UI and seemed quicker for twitter favorites and reposts
#
techlifeweb that is until I looked at how they look on my site, which is not good
#
techlifeweb seems silly but I can't figure out how to do a simple u-like-of in Known. I mean, with out the Reactions plugin.
#
tantek techlifeweb, pretty sure Known has Micropub support by default, so you can use Quill to post likes to Known
#
techlifeweb tantek: ah...it does have micropub. Hadnt thought of that approach. Thanks
#
techlifeweb That didn't work. Well, it did but you need the reactions plugin or so it seems (Quill gave me an error when I turned it off) and the Reactions plugin is broken at the moment. At least it is on new installs of Known.
#
techlifeweb By "broken" I mean, here's a repost/retweet http://stream.techlifeweb.com/2017/repost-of-all-about-spaces-tweet-4fb107602e kinda useless
#
techlifeweb It's all good for now. I'll hack on it later.
#
tantek that's odd. I thought likes were native to Known
#
miklb GWG++ for inlining the bridgy-publish error
#
Loqi gwg has 188 karma in this channel (205 overall)
#
GWG miklb: Oh, you noticed that?
#
GWG miklb: I wanted to make sure people knew if there was a problem.
#
miklb yes, just now working on something locally
FiveBroDeepBook joined the channel
#
miklb unrelated to bridgy, but it was from a post I imported from live site, so it had the bridgy option checked
#
techlifeweb tantek: it might be. It's possible other plugins are causing the issue.
Lana, snarfed and KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_ Well, built in things in known are plugins too
#
miklb GWG I use debug.log but I can see for a lot of users, having that message on the post screen will save a lot of headache

#
GWG Playing with parsing makes me think I need to rethink the order of my homepage.

GWG So, my code now returns in jf2 format among other improvements. And I can parse a lot more h-cards. Oddly enough, not my own, but I think that's my fault.
wolftune, jeremycherfas, Pierre-O and begriffs joined the channel
#
tantek GWG neat!
#
tantek what is jf2
#
Loqi jf2 is a working prototype of a simpler JSON serialization of microformats2 https://indieweb.org/jf2
#
GWG I keep changing my storage format.
#
tantek GWG, could you add your implementation to https://indieweb.org/jf2#Implementations ?
sl007 joined the channel
#
GWG When snarfed changed the inputs on micropub, I had to do some quick patch work so it could be read by Post Kinds. So, this is the second part where I actually start parsing and storing things in a better fashion.
#
GWG tantek: When I'm finished I will do that.
#
tantek GWG, you could add it now as "in progress" with whatever caveats you wish to provide
#
tantek that way you won't forget to add it later ;)
#
sl007 aaronpk … Now working on indieauth-node gpg - would you call it an extension? Working fine, could be mentioned in main docs.
#
GWG There
#
aaronpk sl007: neat. i don't know if "extension" is the right word, it's just one more authentication provider
#
sl007 Yes, think so too. What would be the best plugin to recommend for Windows ? Just btw : https://keybase.io/kbpgp let's u sign without plugins - but not sure if fine …
#
aaronpk no idea what's a good windows tool. keybase is a fine solution tho
jeremycherfas_ joined the channel
#
tantek aaronpk have you checked keybase chat?
#
aaronpk oh yeah i saw that, and then downloaded the new keybase, and then forgot to actually try it :P

#
miklb good morning indieweb!
#
GWG miklb: Good morning!
#
miklb GWG glad that was of use in the core plugin
#
GWG miklb: More to do, as always
#
GWG But likely I'll make a few more fixes and release a version before going more aggressively.
sl007 and sl0071 joined the channel
#
miklb sweet. I hadn't tested micropub->blog->bridgy in a while, didn't work last time I attempted, passed with flying colors just now
#
GWG miklb: We all continue to iterate
#
miklb part of my fails in past was that WP was using post Ids twice, so bridgy was kicking back posts due to same slug. I advanced the post id table to a point where conflicts wouldn't happen. Cruft from importing/migrating I assumed
#
GWG I didn't know it could reuse them.
#
miklb well, I lost a bunch of posts due to not having backups and a bad import on my part. Was totally on me
#
GWG miklb: Sorry to hear that
#
miklb sloppy, rookie mistake. I should know better
