# 09:32 [chrisaldrich] Good luck on figuring out how to reformat that page so it's viewable, but you've found an interesting quirk to be certain.
# 09:34 [chrisaldrich] perhaps using <nowiki> </nowiki> around the php portion will do the trick? Or just excising the .php from the definition and putting it after the dfn tags?
# 09:34 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

# 14:16 benclark Hi good people, I have a support question, is this the right place to ask it? Thanks
# 14:18 benclark Great, let's give it a go. It's an issue with publishing via brid.gy from my self hosted wp site
# 14:19 benclark I get the error: "Could not find content in h-entry or any other element!" I have looked at the examples on https://brid.gy/about and copied the format given for the h-entry. I have installed all the plugins under the indieweb plugin bundle.

# 14:22 benclark When posting via wordpress i entered:
# 14:22 benclark <div class="h-entry"><p class="e-content"> Testing brid.gy for backfeed syndication and crossposting </p></div> <a href="https://brid.gy/publish/facebook"></a> <a href="https://brid.gy/publish/twitter"></a>
# 14:23 benclark @jeremycherfas I'm not sure what you mean - sorry! Must be slightly out of my depth here...
# 14:25 jeremycherfas No worries. I mean, are you sure that the bits and pieces that brid.gy needs to find are present in the HTML
# 14:27 sknebel hm, everything is wrapped in ""h-as-article", I think that might confuse bridgy
# 14:28 benclark @ jeremycherfas I thought so... I am using the microformat suggest on the brid.gy about page under the heading "How does it decide which parts of my web page to include?"
# 14:28 benclark Ah ok, an h-card is a requirement?
# 14:29 benclark @sknebel Thanks - will try to remove that, maybe that is something my wordpress theme is generating
# 14:30 sknebel (because of the h- prefix, an mf2-parser thinks it is an object (similar to h-item), and the h-entry ends up as a child of it)
# 14:32 jeremycherfas You might want to try one of the Themes that comes ready for indieweb and then tweak that.
# 14:33 benclark @sknebel thanks for your help, I will try and clean up the h-prefix
# 14:34 benclark @jeremycherfas Yes indeed! Not a whole lot going on on my website right now! Maybe a change of theme is in order - I am just using the default 2017 theme
# 14:34 benclark Thanks again both for your instantaneous support!
# 14:34 sknebel from a quick peek in bridgy source code, it seems like the h- prefix would cause the error you got (assuming I found the right thing, haven't worked on brid.gy before). if that doesn't work, please come back and ask again ;)

# 15:31 dgold thinks, looking over what benclark said and his site, that he was manually entering the <... class="h-article"...> in his post editing window
# 15:32 dgold so WP was then rendering that as ... <article> $WP_cruft <... class="h-article"... >

# 16:31 tantek !tell benwerd hey this is your daily reminder that werd.io still needs to finish being upgraded :)
# 16:31 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 16:31 Loqi tantek: jeremycherfas left you a message 6 hours, 57 minutes ago: The page you asked loqi to create at https://indieweb.org/wp-login.php results in a 404 because it is not in fact a PHP page. I tried to edit but cannot see a way to edit the page title.

# 16:42 martymcguire[m] heh, we were holding up random projects that were on top of the laser cutter.
# 16:42 tantek benwerd took an SF photo but hasn't posted yet I think
# 16:43 martymcguire[m] a maze, a test-cut for a "living hinge", and a tab/slot box.
# 16:48 tantek uh why are people still using h-as-* classnames?
# 16:48 tantek why are new people accidentally using h-as-* classnames?!?
# 16:48 Loqi [sknebel] hm, everything is wrapped in ""h-as-article", I think that might confuse bridgy
# 16:50 aaronpk there are no actual php files at the root of the web server, so I made the rule that enables php match only files inside of subfolders
# 16:50 Loqi wp-login.php is the login page for a WordPress installation, and thus is frequently queried (whether you have WordPress installed or not) by bots and other abusive sites looking for out-of-date WordPress installations to attack via WordPress Security holes https://indieweb.org/wp-login.php
wolftune joined the channel
# 16:51 tantek dgold: where did you see h-article mentioned?!?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
# 16:53 gRegorLove I think microformats-tests repo has some h-as, but real world examples from tantek.com
# 16:54 dgold tantek: there was someone on earlier who was having difficulty getting WP & microformats to work nicely
# 16:55 dgold his site (at the time) wasn't configured with Sempress or similar, and he seemed to be handcoding mf2 markup in the actual WP posting interface
# 16:56 gRegorLove That would be tricky, dgold, since the theme probably wraps the posts in mf1
# 16:57 dgold gRegorLove: I really like your site design -- how hard was that to accomplish with your chosen software?
# 16:58 dgold I _was_ thinking of customising known to use as a reading-stream, but I'm looking at your design and thinking "Hmmmm...."
# 16:59 gRegorLove Thanks, dgold. Not hard at all with ProcessWire, which is really flexible templating. They're basically just PHP or even HTML files, no custom template language.
thebardian joined the channel
# 17:01 tantek dgold, yes I saw - point was where the heck did they get the h-as-* stuff to handcode in the first place?
benwerd joined the channel
# 17:01 dgold gRegorLove: wow. okay, that's awesome. looking over the docs now
# 17:01 dgold tantek: he was getting it from the mf2 wiki, iirc. I closed my /query window, sorry
# 17:02 gRegorLove Known has more indieweb functionality out of the box than ProcessWire. Might be easier to customize a Known theme.
# 17:03 gRegorLove But I do have PW plugins for Webmention and IndieAuth. Micropub in the works.
# 17:03 Loqi gregorlove has 80 karma in this channel (109 overall)
# 17:05 tantek dgold, if you have any idea from where on the mf wiki please let me know! Clear we should clean that up

# 17:35 [kevinmarks] I did some work on noterlive today, I'll have a look at micropub support.
# 17:40 tantek If you get it done this weekend and submit a micropub.rocks client test report you might make into the PR next week!
# 17:47 miklb_ lol, I feel like ever time I update my site it is one step forward, two steps back
# 17:48 miklb but my refresh in progress is live, complete with "face-piles" for likes and reposts
snarfed joined the channel
# 17:57 [kevinmarks] I had that same feeling about noterlive and the bootstrap it uses, but I should avoid that rabbit hole
# 18:02 miklb while I was putting a new coat of paint, I didn't realize some of the plugin behaviors changed.
# 18:02 miklb So now I have to rearange the furniture again.

# 18:58 dgold (most of the half hour was looking for lists of common bots)
# 19:00 tantek all I did was note some instructions for Apache for blocking specific bots
# 19:00 Loqi bandwidth is defined by hosting providers as the amount of network traffic sent and received by your web site during a billing period (like a month) and by ISPs as the maximum rate of network traffic allowed per minute https://indieweb.org/bandwidth
# 19:01 dgold tantek: I was trawling my logs earlier, and I noticed a _lot_ of hits from ahrefs.com
# 19:02 tantek oh yeah those folks - I remember looking them up at some point
# 19:02 dgold so I added a PFO to robots.txt, no effect

# 19:11 tantek huh - April 5th looks pretty empty for next HWC venues!
# 19:12 tantek in reviewing the newsletter it looks like there are some new pages that could be cleaned up
# 19:13 tantek that doesn't seem accurate - nor is it user/feature-centric
# 19:13 tantek why does it need to mention h-card in the dfn?
# 19:13 tantek hey aaronpk minor bug fix / feature request - if an "x is y" response to Loqi has a period on the end can Loqi not add an unnecessary second period?
# 19:14 tantek also, newsletter HTML feature request - can the <h2> headlines have ID= so we can fragment link to them?
# 19:15 tantek (but that supposedly should work as a fragmention)
# 19:16 tantek also search for ".." and note how many extra periods Loqi has added ;)
Exodist joined the channel
# 19:19 Loqi A fragment is part of a URL, and typically refers to a fragment identifier at the end of a URL preceded by a # but may also refer to a media fragment which may use a fragment identifier or a query string https://indieweb.org/fragment
# 19:20 tantek A query string is a part of a URL, and typically refers to a set of name value pairs separated by ampersands (&) that starts with a question mark (?), and is between the URL path and URL [[fragment ]].

# 20:50 dgold does anyone have a good primer on decent typography for websites?
# 20:51 snarfed miklb: cool! maybe actually send it to GWG + pfefferle + acegiak. i'd love to have facepiles, but only via plugin(s), i wouldn't want to maintain the code myself
# 20:52 miklb snarfed I'd have to look at how to do it in a plugin. I'm just doing some separate loops for the comments

# 21:00 GWG miklb, re facepiles, I have some implementation ideas. Doing it in a plugin is something that I explored a while back

# 21:01 GWG miklb, it is poorly coded...at least compared to what I have learned since.
# 21:02 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 21:02 miklb heh, I can't speak to the quality of my current code, but it gets the job done
# 21:02 aaronpk one step closer to backfeeding comments from swarm now!

# 21:04 dgold aaronpk: then I shall restate that over there :)
# 21:10 GWG miklb, re facepiles, how did you overcome the pagination issues?
# 21:14 miklb GWG I didn't. I don't really understand paginating comments
# 21:15 miklb If I ever get to a point where I have so many comments that they need to be paginated, I'll cross that bridge
[dgold] joined the channel
# 21:15 GWG That was my problem with it as a plugin
# 21:15 miklb unless I don't understand what you mean by pagination
# 21:16 Loqi pagination is a UI pattern for navigation across (typically chronologically) sequential pages that show one or more posts such as permalink post pages, archives, search results, and lists of tagged posts https://indieweb.org/pagination
# 21:16 GWG In the theme, it is easier to cope with than in a plugin
# 21:17 miklb I suspect though by just excluding likes & reposts from the main comment loop, it shouldn't effect any built in pagination
# 21:18 GWG I was just saying the other day... I should ask KartikPrabhu about that
# 21:19 GWG I don't remember. It has been a hard week
# 21:32 GWG miklb, what is still missing from your site in your opinion?
# 21:33 miklb too much to list. Archives are high on my list
# 21:37 Loqi archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archives
# 21:37 miklb I want separate archives of articles as well as notes/bookmarks/etc. Currently I have latest 3 articles an 10 days of everything else
# 21:38 miklb I don't have a properly formatted and linked set of archives
# 21:39 GWG I thought you meant archive pages
