!tell pfefferle Not to be a pest, but any news on the PR?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
petermolnar
but ben_thatmustbeme is right
#
ben_thatmustbeme
as are you, there are too many rooms
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think its starting to get out of hand
#
GWG
Well, I think most conversation is supposed to move in here.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i am in a bunch until its determined which are the final ones
#
petermolnar
so, for cache, the parsed content is of course fine
#
GWG
And the main room is meant to be for meet and greets
#
petermolnar
I thought this is for historical storing
#
ben_thatmustbeme
this is getting logged too
#
ben_thatmustbeme
as is the main
#
aaronpk
ben_thatmustbeme: lol i think only you and me are in more than 3 rooms
#
petermolnar
or for that which-CMS-for-IoT horror
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i'm not sure the logs are public yet, aaronpk could say for sure
#
aaronpk
check the topic
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and aaronpk, you are missing a few of the rooms, there are others in more
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i am in .... 8 rooms
#
aaronpk
oh dear
#
GWG
I hate to say it, but the community seems much more quiet since we split. I think people haven't figured out what goes where yet overall
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think the main 3 are probably fine for now
#
GWG
I don't want another one.
#
GWG
I just want to talk
#
ben_thatmustbeme
#indieweb, #indieweb-chat, and #indieweb-dev
#
GWG
Did we do #indieweb-chat? Or is it still #indiechat?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
we haven't officially moved it
#
aaronpk
most people are still talking in #indiechat
#
ben_thatmustbeme
were still unclear on #indieweb-chat or #indieweb-offtopic
#
petermolnar
10+ for work...
#
GWG
petermolnar: What do you think about the idea of having a standard set of WordPress post class to jf2 conversion functions?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
anyway, getting back to the other discussion
#
petermolnar
that would probably be useful
#
ben_thatmustbeme
petermolnar: i suppose it depends on how stable you expect the mf2 json format to be. and how much value you expect to find in the HTML external to it
#
petermolnar
I expect it to last less than HTML
#
GWG
petermolnar: I just don't know where to develop it. I'd want to use it in multiple plugins. Should it be its own repo?
#
petermolnar
github, so you can use composer to pull it in per plugin; I also suggest to use namespaces for this
#
GWG
petermolnar: Because of the minimum PHP version for WordPress, I almost never use composer or namespaces. But I suppose since the minimum effective version for PHP-MF2 is 5.3, 5.4 for the composer version...
#
petermolnar
5.2 is ancient
#
petermolnar
and WordPres should really, really move on
#
petermolnar
personally I don't care
#
petermolnar
5.2 is just too ancient
#
GWG
Which is why I try to go for 5.3, to get php-mf2 support.
#
GWG
But after that issue with the short array notation...and actually getting someone contact me about it...I am not ready to force 5.4
#
petermolnar
5.4 would by the way, be extemely useful for WP, with the anonymus functions for all the filters & stuff
#
petermolnar
it's kind of a pain they are not willing to make this step
#
petermolnar
but 5.3 is definitely a must for mf2, that one uses namespaces as well
#
GWG
petermolnar: It was being debated recently to jump to 5.3. I'm staying out of it. I have other fish to fry.
#
GWG
petermolnar: I was going to use an object that accepts a post_id or a post object as a constructor.
#
petermolnar
from one deprecated version to another deprecated one... sigh
#
GWG
petermolnar: Baby steps.
#
GWG
Maybe I'll just develop it in one plugin, and if it is worth it, spin it out.
#
petermolnar
that is probably the best approach
#
voxpelli
composer is hard with ordinary wp plugins, aren't they? as only a single plugin can include a class or else there will be conflicts?
#
GWG
But if all plugins used the same storage parameters, which is why I am trying to move closer to jf2, then there would be more independence.

The room tabs on chat.indieweb.org are great. Love the yellow activity highlight
#
aaronpk
pretty neat :)
#
aaronpk
i have to figure out what to do for mobile/narrow windows tho
#
gRegorLove
What does Slack do?
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
aaronpk
sidebar that's hidden until you swipe it out
#
aaronpk
same as glowing-bear.org too
#
aaronpk
so i might have to investigate that
#
sknebel
alternatively sidebar with button at the top and swipes to channel-switch? but that might be to confusing
#
aaronpk
the whole sidebar thing is beyond my level of knowledge of css and js so hopefully i can find a library

Does Loqi meme anything with "what if..."?
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
Re the channels, go to a drop down selector when narrow?
#
aaronpk
dropdown could work, but i think the sidebar is a more common nav pattern now
#
gRegorLove
I think sidebar is trickier to do without duplicating markup - separate desktop and mobile menus
#
aaronpk
that could be, but not the end of the world
#
KevinMarks
Oh, the tabs are wrapping under the logo
#
KevinMarks
Could flexbox them so that they don't wrap as a unit
tantek joined the channel
#
bear
or lose the logo on mobile
#
bear
(or change it to the favicon and make it flush left) (caveat that I know negative levels of knowledge about css)
#
KevinMarks
Hm, the fixed header breaks pagination and hash links too
#
aaronpk
i thought i added padding to compensate for that
#
aaronpk
weird, what's the trick to add padding to the body so that hash links work?
#
aaronpk
what do you mean breaks pagination?
#
Loqi
[@eevee] looking at twitter's private web "get new tweets" api and - it has three ways to specify where to start - one arg is 'true', another is '1'
#
gRegorLove
No visible next and prev links on mobile.
#
aaronpk
oh, yeah, same thing
#
KevinMarks
When you hit page down or space, it scrolls by window height
#
aaronpk
that's not pagination lol
#
KevinMarks
So the last line ends up under the navigation thingy
#
aaronpk
well if i fix the hash thing the page up/down should be fixed too
#
KevinMarks
I think I hacked this, hang on
#
KevinMarks
Look at the CSS at the top there - you make the bit underneath fixed too, so it scrolls right
#
KevinMarks
Then the hash links will work too
