good morning
#
jeremycherfas
The new wiki page for wp-login.php gives a 404 because the link — https://indieweb.org/wp-login.php — is not in fact a PHP page.
#
jeremycherfas
And I cannot see how to edit it.
Pierre-O and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
Heh. Have to log in before going to the edit page. Obviously.

Good luck on figuring out how to reformat that page so it's viewable, but you've found an interesting quirk to be certain.
#
jeremycherfas
I can’t do it. Sleep well.
#
[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?
#
jeremycherfas
!tell tantek 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.

Hi good people, I have a support question, is this the right place to ask it? Thanks
#
jeremycherfas
Welcome. I’m a newbie lurker myself, but go ahead.
#
benclark
Great, let's give it a go. It's an issue with publishing via brid.gy from my self hosted wp site
#
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.
#
jeremycherfas
Have you looked at the source of the page?
#
sknebel
benclark: do you have an example URL?
#
benclark
Yes, I am trying to publish this post http://benclark.studio/testing-brid-gy/

When posting via wordpress i entered:

#
benclark
@jeremycherfas I'm not sure what you mean - sorry! Must be slightly out of my depth here...
#
jeremycherfas
No worries. I mean, are you sure that the bits and pieces that brid.gy needs to find are present in the HTML
#
sknebel
hm, everything is wrapped in ""h-as-article", I think that might confuse bridgy
#
jeremycherfas
Also, there is no h-card that I can see.
#
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?"
#
jeremycherfas
Are you editing your header by hand?
#
benclark
Ah ok, an h-card is a requirement?
#
benclark
@sknebel Thanks - will try to remove that, maybe that is something my wordpress theme is generating
#
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)
#
jeremycherfas
I think an h-card may be optional, but worthwhile. I’m not an expert.
#
sknebel
h-card should be required
#
sknebel
*not* be required
#
benclark
OK!
#
jeremycherfas
You might want to try one of the Themes that comes ready for indieweb and then tweak that.
#
jeremycherfas
You don’t seem to have a huge amount of content yet. :)
#
jeremycherfas
SemPress is one, from memory. And ZenPress.
#
benclark
@sknebel thanks for your help, I will try and clean up the h-prefix
#
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
#
benclark
Thanks again both for your instantaneous support!
#
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 ;)
#
jeremycherfas
I like ZenPress a lot.

#
tantek
uh why are people still using h-as-* classnames?
#
tantek
why are new people accidentally using h-as-* classnames?!?
#

[sknebel] hm, everything is wrapped in ""h-as-article", I think that might confuse bridgy
#
tantek
what is going on
#
tantek
looks at bridgy docs
#
aaronpk
i got it
#
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

tantek
awesome!
#
tantek
what is wp-login.php?
#
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

#
tantek
ok we should remove those
#
dgold
tantek: there was someone on earlier who was having difficulty getting WP & microformats to work nicely
#
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
#
gRegorLove
What is h-as?
#
Loqi
h-as was an attempt to match ActivityStream vocabulary to microformats https://indieweb.org/h-as
#
gRegorLove
That would be tricky, dgold, since the theme probably wraps the posts in mf1
#
dgold
gRegorLove: that's what I was saying
#
dgold
gRegorLove: I really like your site design -- how hard was that to accomplish with your chosen software?
#
dgold
I _was_ thinking of customising known to use as a reading-stream, but I'm looking at your design and thinking "Hmmmm...."
#
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.

aaronpk - you could go for a walk to the nearest park and back
#

park checkins are always good

Just generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2017-03-24.html

and note that it is the replacement for both Atompub and XML-RPC

(AKA metaweblog API)

got to remember to ping folks about next HWC on the Thursday after a HWC instead of Friday
#
sknebel
tantek: I'd assume so, but I think florian always reserves the table the week before hwc and then updates the wiki
#
tantek
sknebel if you can edit the wiki in the next 20 min, it will go in the newsletter
#
tantek
also any photo from this week?

ugh - I need to redo my main site's handing of <code> blocks... that looks awful
#
KevinMarks
they have a law about it
#
sknebel
tantek: good point :P but the general sentiment, at least in our circles, cares less about it. special occasions, sure, but no need to document "business as usual" ;)
#
tantek
skenebel if you don't document the normal, then it won't be as obvious when things change! (new people etc.)

hey miklb, i heard you have facepiles in wordpress? any plans to contribute them back upstream?

#
dgold
should really redo my typography. Its sort of wretched
#
miklb
snarfed sure. I intend to put my theme in a public repo so can see what I'm doing. I can gist it now if you're curious
#
dgold
does anyone have a good primer on decent typography for websites?
#
KartikPrabhu
dgold: what in particular? like code?
#
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
#
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
#
sknebel
sgreger has facepiles as well in wordpress

#
GWG
miklb, re facepiles, I have some implementation ideas. Doing it in a plugin is something that I explored a while back
#
dgold
KartikPrabhu: yes, code would be a big part of it - but also just setting it up properly on the site
#
dgold
because right now I'm just fumbling around in the dark.
#
miklb
GWG I believe I used some of your old plugin as a guide

#
sknebel
!tell sgreger: have you published anything about the /facepile s on your posts (for like/reposts/...)? if yes, can you add it to /facepile?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk
well that was fun
#
miklb
heh, I can't speak to the quality of my current code, but it gets the job done

#
GWG
miklb, re facepiles, how did you overcome the pagination issues?
#
miklb
GWG I didn't. I don't really understand paginating comments
#
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
#
GWG
That was my problem with it as a plugin
#
miklb
unless I don't understand what you mean by pagination
#
GWG
WordPress paginates comments.
#
miklb
what is paginate
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "paginate" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
KartikPrabhu
what is pagination?
#
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
#
GWG
In the theme, it is easier to cope with than in a plugin
#
GWG
Hello, KartikPrabhu
#
miklb
I suspect though by just excluding likes & reposts from the main comment loop, it shouldn't effect any built in pagination
#
KartikPrabhu
hello GWG
#
GWG
I was just saying the other day... I should ask KartikPrabhu about that
#
KartikPrabhu
about what?
#
GWG
I don't remember. It has been a hard week
#
KartikPrabhu
next time you should leave a tell
#
GWG
I often do
#
miklb
hmm. I may have a bug in my main loop
#
miklb
indeed I do :-(
#
GWG
miklb, what is still missing from your site in your opinion?
#
miklb
too much to list. Archives are high on my list
#
tantek
newsletter is looking pretty good
#
GWG
miklb, Archives of?
#
tantek
what are archives
#
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
#
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
#
miklb
on home page
#
GWG
miklb, you have that
#
GWG
Oh, on the homepage
#
miklb
I don't have a properly formatted and linked set of archives
#
GWG
I thought you meant archive pages

tantek
what is the New York Times?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "New York Times" yet. Would you like to create it?

The New York Times is a newspaper and online publication that sometimes updates its headlines and articles within minutes after publishing them.

example of an /update to an /article of both name and content!

by a publisher - to show that updates are a real thing beyond indieweb and silos
