blueyed aaronpk: (from #indieweb:( tried with another browser (firefox) - cookies should be allowed. before I was using qutebrowser.
#
aaronpk i've been digging into it and I think I found the problem
#
blueyed Zegnat mentioned a test field?! Can I try it there?
#
blueyed aaronpk: great, thanks. will be back later.
#
Zegnat On indieauth.com there is a test field on the homepage. But that just tests overall indieauth.com compatibility, not openID
#
aaronpk yeah this problem is specific to the openid.indieauth.com domain
#
aaronpk aha this broke in the august 17th change
#
aaronpk which i had to do because github changed their OAuth API slightly
#
aaronpk alright i tweaked a few things and it should work now
#
blueyed aaronpk: still does not work for me..
#
aaronpk oh yeah you'll have to clear your cookies this time
#
aaronpk (the problem is right now there are different cookies on openid.indieauth.com and indieauth.com, so when github sends you back to indieauth.com it's missing the previous state)

#
blueyed aaronpk: I had deleted the indieauth cookies already, and just tried again.
#
blueyed "csrf_detected" also seems to come from GitHub?!
#
aaronpk well i'm confused
#
aaronpk i was able to reproduce the problem, and then fixed it and now it works for me
#
aaronpk (i'm logging in to stackoverflow to test)
#
aaronpk does logging in via github on the little test box at https://indieauth.com work?
#
blueyed yes, it works there
#
aaronpk Can you double check that all *.indieauth.com cookies are deleted? You might have one for openid.indieauth.com plus IndieAuth.com

#
[grantcodes] Alrighty, I'm working on a new version of a micropub client to post photo galleries, I'm going down the collection route, is there a correct way to reference the individual child photo posts in the gallery micropub request
#
[grantcodes] The spec just says "A better alternative is to reference objects by their URLs" but I can't see info on any property for child posts or something similar?

#
tantek hey aaronpk have you tried this: https://blog.sverrirs.com/2015/08/converting-google-maps-directions-to.html
#
tantek I'm curious in general about exporting things from google maps or gmap-pedometer to some portable format
#
tantek also note the interesting POSSE there! "This article is also available on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/converting-google-maps-directions-gpx-data-sverrir-sigmundarson"
#
tantek also has anyone used gmap-pedometer AKA Milermeter? e.g. https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7146504
#
tantek it's more of a mapping route "commons" than silo - free to use, no login required, can even save "public" routes like that ^^^ without creating a login
#
aaronpk [grantcodes]: that note is assuming you'd make a Micropub request first to create the individual one so that it has a URL
#
aaronpk then you'd use that URL when referencing it for the gallery post
#
aaronpk my albums/collections work this way right now, just not hooked up to Micropub. I think I have microformats on everything tho
#
tantek.com edited /principles (+665) "clean up distinction between tools for yourself and (self)dogfooding as they are complementary but different steps, explicitly note scratch your own itch, and cite earlier (1999?) ref for that in C&B per WP, span IDs, bold whole summaries" (view diff)
#
aaronpk Yeah so e.g. https://aaronparecki.com/2017/03/11/6/pdx-highball-week
#
Loqi [Aaron Parecki] Cocktails from Friday's Portland Highball Week Pub Crawl
#
tantek well that was a pretty major update that should look minor
#
aaronpk thats the album and there are a bunch of children h-entry's there
#
aaronpk so if I were going to make a Micropub request to create that I'd send the album h-entry like normal but all the children would just be the URLs of their respective h-entry's rather than the full h-entry object like you see there
#
aaronpk http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faaronparecki.com%2F2017%2F03%2F11%2F6%2Fpdx-highball-week
#
tantek makes sense
#
aaronpk That's how I'm imagining it anyway. It should be noted that I haven't actually implemented that yet :-)
#
aaronpk One issue related to this is I need a way for the client to tell my Micropub endpoint that the post it's creating will be used in a collection, so that my server avoids adding it to my main feeds automatically
John__ joined the channel
#
aaronpk (right now when a post is created my server adds it to a few different feeds based on what it is, so it'll end up in my photos list or home page, etc.)
#
tantek aaronpk: I wonder if any silo APIs have precedents for that
#
tantek I feel like that's something that comes up with FB also - e.g. posting lots of photos only to put them into a single album post
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Cool thanks!
#
[grantcodes] I'll give it a go!
#
[grantcodes] At the moment I just add a category to all gallery photos and my main feed is set to ignore them. Means it only works on my site though
#
aaronpk Cool
#
aaronpk my site has a "p3k-channel" property to either set the channels specifically or use the magic word "none" to prevent it from going into any feeds
#
[grantcodes] yeah, same issue again, will only work on your site
#
aaronpk Yep
#
aaronpk worth noting the different solutions tho
#
aaronpk eventually this could become some standard based on what's been implemented
#
[grantcodes] True! Well this is about ready to publish in alpha or something, just need to figure out why media endpoint uploads aren't working ?
