miklb_ GWG can you give me an overview of the changes? My quote kind template is throwing an error for using `get_author()`
#
GWG miklb_: The template uses output buffering now. so you have to call your own variables, not the ones I pre-called in the old version.
#
GWG Trying to make it more theme like.
#
GWG I intend to, in future, ship templates for more post kinds, rather than keeping the generic
#
miklb_ did you not update your template then?
#
miklb_ oh, wait, had to clear my debug log to see where the error is now
#
GWG miklb, I did
#
miklb_ yeah, I missed a line
#
miklb_ thanks
#
GWG No, thank you

#
miklb_ hmm. I'm not getting embedded tweets. Let me double check your template again vs mine.
#
GWG Did you enable the rich embed setting?
#
GWG I just fixed it a bit.
#
GWG WordPress 4.7 added Facebook embeds, so I removed that code, for example.
#
miklb_ I didn't, but I see now that I don't need to concatenate $content
#
GWG miklb_: Yes, just echo.
#
miklb_ GWG++
#
Loqi gwg has 4 karma in this channel (208 overall)
#
GWG miklb_: Much more like a convention template.
#
miklb_ yep, which will make it easier/cleaner to do custom markup. Excellent addition
#
GWG I had thought of doing it this way the first time, but didn't.
#
miklb_ I also liike now that I can see how to change site_name to say something else based on source, i.e. "A tweet" for Twitter
#
GWG miklb_: That function was always there
#
GWG It isn't new
#
GWG Feel free to suggest additions to it. It defaults to 'a post'
#
miklb_ then just seemed obvious when reading the code this time
#
GWG miklb_: I did a lot of cleanup. I
#
GWG It may have just been more obvious because a lot of things got removed.
#
miklb_ possibly, or I just overlooked it first go around. I was a bit rushed getting the template written knowing changes were coming
#
miklb_ not rushed by you, I was rushing to move on
#
GWG miklb_: Well, as you see, none of them are drastic. I do want to improve the 'helper' functions.
#
miklb_ definitely seems like great progress
#
GWG miklb_: That is why I wanted some testing this time before I moved on. So I asked you and chrisaldrich to try it and see if there was any feedback.
#
GWG miklb_: Also, if you are interested in the parser, open up your development console and retrieve a URL. It will show you the information coming from the backend.
#
GWG I was using that to test cases.

#
miklb I just **love** my new internet provider
#
GWG I assume that is no love?
#
miklb I had Bright House for years without an issue. Charter/Spectrum bought them and now it drops 5-6 times a day.
#
GWG I sympathize.
#
GWG miklb: Is the Post Properties section in the new version more or less confusing?
#
miklb didn't get that far yet, was getting front end working 1st.
#
miklb nice!
#
GWG Better then?
#
miklb very much so
#
GWG Good
#
GWG Any other issues?
#
miklb I haven't seen anything yet, but am poking around a few different areas.
#
GWG Appreciate it
#
miklb I should be done with the new version of my theme and will test on my live site this week.
#
GWG Great
#
Loqi it is probable
#
miklb thanks for the vote of confidence Loqi
#
Loqi you're welcome, miklb

petermolnar re GWG: embed: I did look at it, in order to figure out how to disable it
#
petermolnar wp ships with oembed for the blog itself, providing a json with some js in the response, and when I think about embedding remote json in my site via iframe I get jumpy
#
cweiske how is that different from showing indieweb remote comments?
#
petermolnar I don't do that either, but I do store them: pull content, parse with pandoc to markdown, store in markdown, display with pandoc to html5
#
petermolnar if anything manages to slip through that, I'll give them a cookie
#
cweiske you could do the same for embeds
#
petermolnar javascript-wise
#
Zegnat A cookie, petermolnar? That’s a better bug bounty program than Cloudflare’s!
#
Zegnat (Too soon?)
#
petermolnar :D
#
GWG petermolnar, I wanted to consider using a similar design for my reply context.
#
petermolnar cweiske no, with embeds, you can't, that's the point: embeds are copyright-safe things because you don't copy anything, just show the actual, remote thing
#
petermolnar what I do can hit copyright walls, but since I'm not showing it, only storing it for potential future use, meh.
#
petermolnar I guess if I only show quotes as [...] blabla [...] + url, as WordPress did for pingbacks, it shouldn't hit any copyright issues
