Hey All, I've got a quick question that I'm hoping someone here can answer. I'm using WordPress with Brid.gy + Semantic Linkbacks plugin + Webmentions plugin and I see that 'webmention' comments are being created with content that does not display nicely at all unless the Semantic Linkbacks plugin is installed. I'm wondering where the comment format I'm seeing is coming from ("tag:twitter.com,2013:81591..."):
#
GWG
[raamdev]: It is coming from the actual Bridgy data.
#
[raamdev]
@GWG: Ah, that's what I suspected. Ugh. I was hoping it was one of the plugins formatting that, since I really wish it was stored in a more friendly way, something that could still be easily parsed without the plugin active (should I ever decide to stop using the plugin, or just so that the WP database data is more portable in the future and not so dependent on a plugin).
#
GWG
[raamdev]: The author of the plugin and I were discussing it yesterday. Long term plans. The problem is WordPress and its lack of good custom comment type support.
#
[raamdev]
@GWG: What about using comment_meta?
#
[raamdev]
@GWG: Is this the GitHub issue where that's being discussed? https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/issues/55
#
Loqi
[petermolnar] #55 why not using the native comment_type?
#
GWG
[raamdev]: All the Semantic Linkbacks meta is there.
#
GWG
That is one of them.
#
[raamdev]
Hmm, it seems the only other option would be a Custom Post Type, but that seems like it might be a bit excessive. Is this stuff being discussed anywhere else where I can follow along? I'm a longtime WP developer and I'd love to help out.
#
GWG
[raamdev]: It isn't a post type. It is a response...for which the best equivalent is a comment. But, there is no support in Core to allow you to register a comment type and tell the system how it is to behave.
#
GWG
So, the only alternatives make it so either the theme needs to know about the plugin or the plugin has to take over theme duties.
#
[raamdev]
@GWG: Right, but the common misconception about Custom Post Types is that they were never designed to be Custom "Post" Types, but rather "Custom Content Types", so you could definitely use them for this scenario.
#
GWG
[raamdev]: Agreed. Just it would still create an equal problem with how to display them.
#
[raamdev]
@GWG: Good point. I can see why things are where they are now. Hmmm.
#
[raamdev]
Is there any push to get better webmention support in WP Core? Are there any Trac tickets open?
#
GWG
[raamdev]: Yes
#
GWG
Webmention support, custom comment types, better structured data in general.
#
GWG
Need links?
#
[raamdev]
Let me search first. ?
#
GWG
There is is...webmentions
#
[raamdev]
Ah, cool. Thank you. I'll pull together my thoughts and leave a comment on both of those.

Has anyone gotten webmention spam? Thinking of having them auto-approve.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
dougbeal|mb1: i don't autoapprove, but i whitelisted things like bridgy, allow vouching to get around the approval process and then just whitelist the entire domain when approving

i haven't seen any webmention spam yet

I just thought of a few more text shorthands for RSVP posts
#
tantek
anyone here interested in brainstorming RSVP posts?
#
tantek
current state of RSVP text shorthands design (and implemented) https://indieweb.org/rsvp#Text_Design
#
tantek
I'm specifically thinking of a couple of variants to "going to ", e.g. when I'm not only going, but either (co-)organizing or (co-)hosting
#
tantek
e.g. today /Falcon supports text RSVPs like: "going to Homebrew Website Club "
sebsel joined the channel
#
tantek
but I'm thinking of adding "hosting", e.g. "hosting Homebrew Website Club " - when I host @MozSF
#
tantek
thoughts? make sense? other verbs to consider in addition to "hosting"? "organizing"?
#
tantek
and are there other verbs that may make sense as RSVP + /invitation ?
#
tantek
e.g. "inviting you to Homebrew Website Club" ?
#
tantek
variants: hosting / co-hosting
#
tantek
(e.g. when there is more than one host)
#
KartikPrabhu
i don't do RSVPs but those sound like good text versions
#
sebsel
but the actual value of p-rsvp is "yes" in all those cases, right?
#
tantek
correct
#
tantek
sebsel: see https://indieweb.org/rsvp#Text_Design for the p-rsvp value vs. text shorthands
#
tantek
the nice thing about such an explicit "text shorthands" design, is that the text shorthands can themselves be localized / translated!
#
tantek
just searched my past 7 years of posts and *every time* I started a note with "hosting ..." was basically an RSVP for an event, announcement of an event, or implicit invitation
#
tantek
and note that this text shorthand only creates an automatic p-rsvp in the presence of in-reply-to so that works well too
seekr joined the channel
#
sknebel
Tantek: so if you post a reply-to that starts with "going to" Falcon automatically converts it to an rsvp-post?
#
tantek
correct!
#
tantek
it was the easiest way of adding RSVP authoring
#
tantek
a reply-to note starting with "going to " etc. as documented in that URL

#
gRegorLove
What is hovercard?
#
Loqi
A hovercard is a brief overview, usually including thumbnail, name, and description, that is shown in a rectangle overlapping in-context when you hover over something like a link, typically richer than a plain text tooltip https://indieweb.org/hovercard
#
gRegorLove
unmung.com has a tool to show indiecards
#
sl007
gRegorLove - wow, yes that's more what I am looking for. The parser part is already fine (node.js here -> using Glenn Jones' parser / but jkphl 's is wonderful too)
#
gRegorLove
microformats.org lists all the properties, though not necessarily which ones are used more / less often.
