davidmead
Has there been any changes to Bridgy in the last 5 hours? Getting an odd error message in Wordpress
#
GWG
davidmead: What is the error message?
#
davidmead
It cannot find Twitter account for djm.click
#
davidmead
This is my link shortning domain
#
davidmead
worked fine when I posted 5 hours ago
#
davidmead
Haven’t updated anything, including Bridgy Publish GWG ;-)
#
GWG
davidmead: Well, at least it is surfacing the error messages, as suggested.
#
GWG
Before you wouldn't know why it didn't work.
#
GWG
Now you know to ask snarfed.
#
davidmead
LOL - Good move
#
GWG
He suggested it
#
davidmead
I’ll ask him
#
davidmead
BTW - I’m still running version 1.2.1 of Bridgy Publish. Working great. I won’t update until the 1.2.3 correct?
#
GWG
Well, you'll see a notice the next time I update. I'm working on a different plugin right now.
#
davidmead
no hurry :-)
#
GWG
I am working on the Post Kinds plugin.
#
miklb
GWG if you need any testing on post kinds, I can switch branches easily enough while I'm rewriting and test.
#
miklb
assuming you are using a branch.
#
GWG
miklb, link preview branch.
#
miklb
k. I'm almost to the point of displaying post-kinds on my home page, so I'll switch over tonight.
#
GWG
No need yet. Need to add the endpoint.
#
miklb
just ping me then
#
GWG
miklb, will do when I hook it up properly.

tho it's somewhat disappointing to see him take so much of the "we are all cyborgs" idea and run with it without crediting Amber Case where he got it from

what is moderation?
#
Loqi
Moderation is the process of holding comments for review by a human, and sometimes a source of frustration when a comment is written on another site that the commenter has no control over https://indieweb.org/moderation

Update of sempress from pfefferle
#
jihaisse
it’s been a while…
#
jihaisse
For wordpress users, the « Social » plugin from mailchimp that was used to POSSE is no longer working
#
jihaisse
I’m searching an alternative
friedcell and dietricha joined the channel
#
petermolnar
jihaisse where do you want to POSSE to?
#
jihaisse
petermolnar: fb & twitter
#
jihaisse
I want POSSE and get likes/comments/RT, etc…
#
jihaisse
back in my wordpress
#
petermolnar
take a look at SNAP, just not at it's code
#
petermolnar
what is SNAP?
#
Loqi
SNAP is a POSSE plugin for WordPress and stands for Social Network Auto Poster https://indieweb.org/SNAP
#
petermolnar
an alternative is to publish/backfeed via bridgy
#
jihaisse
I’ve tried brid.ly but it doesn’t work with privates facebook posts
#
petermolnar
that's due to the way brid.gy is done
hs0ucy joined the channel
#
petermolnar
if it can't access the post, it can't forward it
leg joined the channel
#

if brid.gy does private mentions, it could be doable

but I think it's not ready for that

GWG
Nice to see you back
#
jihaisse
I saw that the indieweb plugin for wordpress has evolved !
#
GWG
Tell me if there is anything I can help with WordPressy
#
jihaisse
ok, thanks
#
GWG
jihaisse, it has some of the rel me features you had built
#
jihaisse
GWG: by the way, what solution do you use for POSSE / backfeed ?
#
GWG
SNAP, but I am trying to get off it.
#
jihaisse
GWG: oh, cool, I’m glad that helped :)
#
jihaisse
ok, and you would go in wich direction ?
#
GWG
I considered Bridgy Publish, but haven't settled.
#
GWG
I may take petermolnar's suggestion and try building something on top of Keyring Social Importer
#
petermolnar
that was my original plan for a POSSE plugin
#
jihaisse
what is Keyring Social Importer ?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Keyring Social Importer " yet. Would you like to create it?
#
jihaisse
it’s the opposite of POSSE
#
jihaisse
that one doesn’t work with facebook
#
GWG
It is why I am stuck there
#
GWG
I don't want to build a whole solution
#
jihaisse
maybe jetpack is a solution...
#
GWG
Worth a try. Certainly would add to what we have.
#
GWG
I have the Syndication Links plugin, which has some of the same functionality as your rel syndication plugin. Maybe I should add Jetpack support.
#
cweiske
I would love to see moderation interface screenshots on /moderation
#
jihaisse
GWG: what is the difference between Syndication Links and rel syndication ?
#
GWG
Other than iteration? More dynamic link presentation
#
GWG
I have text only, icons, etc
hs0ucy joined the channel
#
GWG
Also, it stores the links as microformats properties, with the prefix mf2_ for compatibility
#
jihaisse
ok great improvements !
#
jihaisse
that works with social and SNAP ?
#
GWG
jihaisse, I used the rel syndication code for Social. I never used that for POSSE so I just integrated your code. Credited you in the Readme

GWG: do you use indieAuth Links plugin ?
#
jihaisse
3 years ago… dear…
#
GWG
No, it was superseded by the addition of rel me link support to the Indieweb plugin
#
cweiske
jihaisse, maybe mark the plugin as deprecated and tell users to use the indieweb plugin?
#
GWG
I do remember all your work.
#
jihaisse
GWG: I don ’t find the rel me link support in the indeweb plugin
#
jihaisse
where should I configure this ?
#
GWG
In your user profile to start
hs0ucy joined the channel
#
GWG
Then the settings are in the Indieweb settings section
#
jihaisse
ok, found it !
#
GWG
It certainly could use some improvements. But it means that anyone downloading the Indieweb plugin gets access to the wiki among other things
#
jihaisse
cool, good job
#
jihaisse
I will mark indieAuth Links as deprecated
#
GWG
The disagreement on how to approach that is why code review and approval is now required to push updates to the plugin.
#
GWG
Two community members have to agree
#
jihaisse
ok, that garanty a proper code and respect of the value of the indieweb
#
GWG
jihaisse: Unlike some of the other plugins, it is defined as a community project.
#
jihaisse
that’s sound good to me

[chrisaldrich]
aaronpk, I syndicated that podcast note to news.indieweb as a bookmark and it went through, but didn't show up with attribution for my site as the bookmarkee... did something on the receiving end change, or have I marked up my post improperly somehow?

#
aaronpk
[chrisaldrich]: I don't see it on indienews at all. I also don't see a link to news.indieweb.org in that post.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I moderate comments (in part because of of an emoji bug I haven't been able to track down, and so the incoming webmention didn't have your name, so when I changed it manually my fat finger screwed it up); It's definitely not something being pulled improperly from your side. ?

aaronpk
oh i bet it is a dedupe/merge thing

it probably overwrite the title with chris' title

[chrisaldrich]
how much detail is on the author tab? I'd suggest being careful with adding too many tabs as it becomes a chore to check through them all. But having separate one for the author isn't bad as the "citation" tab did have a lot of data in it.

GWG

[chrisaldrich]
GWG all those ideas might also fit under the superheading of Calendar as that's where most of them would be stored in the analog world (especially from a planning stand point), but somehow it seems somewhat foreign to me at the same time for a web-based interface

[chrisaldrich]
GWG, sounds like you'll have the biggest complement of post types out of the box!
hs0ucy joined the channel
#
GWG
Right now, I'm just trying to reorganize the properties I have.
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, I think the trickier issue is watching the date/time (start/stop & created/updated) fields and what they mean for individual post types as well as how they're displayed.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: That is part of my planned changes. I noted your comment on that.
#
GWG
That is why I'm playing with various designs
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, I hadn't filed it (yet), but I also noticed that when including an author photo, it shows up well as a sparkline type element and is done well in the "title" block on individual pages, but at times on archive pages or especially in RSS copies, the image is often shown at full size and breaks the flow of the title line.

For watches, it could be interesting to have metadata fields for Studio/Network/Distributor as well season and episode number and possibly an original air date (especially to better differentiate television episodes). I occasionally throw this data into other fields knowing in advance how they'll display: eg: http://boffosocko.com/2017/02/17/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-sally-field-s2-e96/; I'm not sure how readily available services li

#
dgold
[chrisaldrich]: I managed to force known-git version to display 'likes' properly - but I simply cannot get it to show _anything_ for a repost
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, for the read type, having physical media types could be interesting (book, magazine, journal, etc. or just a field for manual entry of type) as well as fields for page number X of total Y pages and/or % of total done (to cover ebooks which don't have page numbers).
#
[chrisaldrich]
If you've got most of the basics for books, doing POSSE to services like Goodreads in the future would be easier as some of that is the needed data.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: Right now I'm not adding much, just clarifying what I have.
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, honestly you've got a pretty reasonable and simple UI so there's only so much you can do to gild the lily. ?
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I'm just trying to arrange it better to add the possibility of more stuff.
#
[chrisaldrich]
The one thing I would be careful of is making too many tabs which can make things overwhelming to first-time users.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I'm trying not to.
#
[chrisaldrich]
dgold, did you get Likes to happen naturally, or did you have to hack things?

wolftune joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
dgold, I'm not sure why repost wouldn't work. Is it not pulling the data from the source (like Twitter properly?) I notice that when I do a straight share and include a twitter URL, mine displays a nice Twitter card, but when it I do a repost of a tweet, I get an (uglier) blockquote like this: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2017/repost-of-aram-zucker-scharffs-tweet-c092c970cb
#
dgold
wheras reposts are _completely_ empty
#
dgold
mine (pre-hacked) was giving nothing at all for reposts, and only a bare Description for like
#
dgold
[chrisaldrich]: sorry to ask again - what version are you running?
#
[chrisaldrich]
I know someone the other day in chat mentioned that some of their issue was dependent on the order they enabled plugins, though that seemed odd to me.
#
dgold
its just odd that it worked fine for you, but self & other recent adoptees are haivng an awful time of it
#
dgold
order of enabling really did nothing
#
[chrisaldrich]
I recall that the KnownReactions plugin had some dependencies for fetching content as well as barnabywalters' mf2 code. If I recall they should be embedded in the repository directly, but you may want to doublecheck that they downloaded and got uploaded onto your server properly.
[dgold] joined the channel
#
[dgold]
Oh, its not pulling _anything_ from the source.
#
[dgold]
this could be significant
#
[chrisaldrich]
Make sure you've got the stuff in the "external" folder: https://github.com/kylewm/KnownReactions/tree/master/external
#
[chrisaldrich]
As I recall, the IndieSyndicate plugin was somewhat similar, but that repository has a link to the external repositories, but doesn't have them built in to automatically download (depending on how you're installing).
#
dgold
no, they're all there

If I ever release p3k as open source, remind me not to make a plugin system for it :-)

In addition to here, you might try the Known Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/known-dev
#
[chrisaldrich]
dgold, I've got to run out in a few minutes, but I've been meaning to set up a new Known site for a friend in the next day or so, I'll start fresh and see if I run across your same problem.
#
[dgold]
thanks, chris
#
[chrisaldrich]
I do know there have been some small changes and tweaks to the plugin since the version I installed, so perhaps mine is working because I haven't updated... I'll test that later too.
#
dgold
i think the problem is that they expanded the 'bookmark' plugin to "include likes and reposts"
#
dgold
except:
#
dgold
1) There's no way to _create_ a like or repost with the 'official' bookmark plugin
#
dgold
2) The _shim_ kyle was using to have his code read first, just isn't working now
#
[chrisaldrich]
if nothing else, I can download the old plugin code I'm using and give it to you as I know it works with derbyshire 0.9.2.

that would be awesome - you're running 0.9.2?
