jgmac1106 Am I reading this correctly: https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1526506363&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyNQsSCFJlc3BvbnNlIid0YWc6dHdpdHRlci5jb20sMjAxMzo5OTY4NjI0MjUwMjk3NTQ4ODAM that the webmention endpoint failed on jgregorymcverry.com
#
jgmac1106 Makes sense the other urls I list on Twitter fail but going through my bridgy logs this one worked: https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1526437333&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyTQsSCFJlc3BvbnNlIj90YWc6dHdpdHRlci5jb20sMjAxMzo5OTY1NTk0NjExMjM4MDUxODlfZmF2b3JpdGVkX2J5XzQ4NDgyOTE3MzEM
#
jgmac1106 and none of my Known webmention endpoints work at all. They just decided to stop. Must have made them mad. [ChrisAldrich suggested I reset my Bridgy setting s but I don’t know if one can
#
Zegnat Interesting
#
Zegnat So, the error listed at 2018-05-16 21:32:41.594980 is saying that you do not accept webmentions to your homepage, jgmac1106
#
jgmac1106 but I am using SemPress and have the webmentions plugin and it worked on 5-15
#
Zegnat Bridgy wants to send a webmention with `https://jgregorymcverry.com/` as the target, and then your WordPress endpoint tells it that isn’t a valid post. Even when I try it manually using the form at https://jgregorymcverry.com/wp-json/webmention/1.0/endpoint
#
jgmac1106 I wonder if that is the day I switched from my theme to sempress. I switched becasue I thought going more compatible would be less headaches
#
Loqi [Greg McVerry] Online Research and Media Skills
#
jgmac1106 sonow I have lost both MicroPub and webmentions on My WordPress and webmentions on my Known site....awesome
#
Zegnat I thought that the “Target is not a valid post” was the error WP generates when it receives the webmention but then doesn’t know what to do with it because it isn’t pointing at a blog post.
#
Zegnat Are homepage mentions supported by the WP endpoint? Some WP user might be able to tell us ...
#
jgmac1106 what is strange is this was the post.https://jgregorymcverry.com/join-us-for-an-edtech-and-edtechchat-flavored-virtual-homebrew-website-club/
#
jgmac1106 and here it is on the PostKin page
#
jgmac1106 https://jgregorymcverry.com/kind/rsvp/
#
Zegnat But that isn’t where Bridgy is trying to send the mention to
#
Zegnat It is sending it with the target being your homepage
#
Zegnat Because the source of the webmention (https://brid-gy.appspot.com/post/twitter/jgmac1106/996862425029754880) doesn’t mention that post at all. So it can’t be sending the webmention there.

#
Zegnat Instead it seems to be pinging your h-card from that tweet, which contains your homepage URL. And WP doesn’t seem to accept mentions to the homepage.
#
jgmac1106 Okay let me switch themes and see if that helps….I just got SemPress the way I wanted it
#
Zegnat Way I am seeing this, that doesn’t change this specific webmention.
#
Zegnat The Webmention endpoint simply didn’t accept it. That endpoint knows nothing about your theme.
#
jgmac1106 My Known webmentions don’t even make a log: https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1526556141&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyTAsSCFJlc3BvbnNlIj50YWc6dHdpdHRlci5jb20sMjAxMzo5OTY1MjY4MDE3NTYxMTA4NDhfZmF2b3JpdGVkX2J5XzIyMjQwNTY0Ngw

@jgmac1106 I added learner personas to the course template we will use #edtechchat.: https://jgregorymcverry.com/i-added-learner-personas-to-the-course-template-we-will-use-edtechchat/ (twitter.com/_/status/996564108366540800)
#
Zegnat I’ll write a reply there. Lets see what happens.
#
Zegnat There you go, I replied to the tweet
#
jgmac1106 and that one worked: https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1526641434&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyNQsSCFJlc3BvbnNlIid0YWc6dHdpdHRlci5jb20sMjAxMzo5OTc0MzIwODcwMjMxNzc3MzAM
#
jgmac1106 I did turn off Jetpack I wonder if the webmentions that did not work were syndicated through JetPack and not Bridgy
#
Zegnat shouldn’t matter.
#
jgmac1106 but that doesn’t make sense as most people syndicate through jetpack
#
Zegnat This Tweet was seen as a reply to the specific blog post, your previous tweet was not seen as such. That seems to be the difference.
#
sknebel you need to enable homepage webmentions for Wordpress
#
sknebel since wordpress has no concept of comments on the homepage
#
sknebel the plugin allows to configure a different page to store them
#
Zegnat sknebel with the knowledge dump :)
#
jgmac1106 but I wouldn’t want the webmention on my homepage . I am also talking to [pfefferle] as the webmentions form isn’t even shoiwng up on my posts
#
sknebel but that's what a pure @someone on twitter means. it's a mention of you, not a specific post, thus it's send to your homepage
jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
jgmac1106 [sknebel] thx, what i am tryign to figure out is why when the link on Twitter was syndicated and included…goign to experiment today with new ones now that JetPack is off
#
Zegnat Yeah. The first “failing” webmention you linked is just a webmention because it includes your twitter user. So if you do not want them, it is correct that it failed.
#
jgmac1106 homepage webmentions enables and going top my about me page
#
Zegnat Try resending the one that previously failed? (I think Bridgy can do that?)
#
jgmac1106 wow [sknebel] once I enabled it the webmentions form displayed correclty. Sorry to bring all this wordpress to dev. I thought it was a bridgy thing
#
Zegnat Life is so much easier without all this backfeeding to worry about though :P
#
sknebel annoying that the new Twitter APIs aren't open to all. I guess I'll try to get access as "student/learning to code" and hope they accept that?
#
Zegnat Can you get access as a student? Maybe I should apply then
#
jgmac1106 [zegnat] that is the goal. It won’t be for this summer, probaly bnot next semester but I am trying to build in the infrastructure now that will be part of just using a microsub reader as my learning management system
#
jgmac1106 and never havet to backfeed at all. Edventually Twitter will break bridgy
#
jgmac1106 would love a webmention test of: It is day five of #IndieWeb WordPress experiment: https://jgregorymcverry.com/it-is-day-five-of-indieweb-wordpress-experiment/ (http://twtr.io/1dyUjY0boRb)
#

#
jgmac1106 later in the day I will turn JetPack back on syndicate a link and see if the webmention only goes to my homepage
#
sknebel Zegnat: what I quoted is one of the categories they allow. they still want details about the app, but I'll try make up something generic and reference that I don't have a product cause playing around

#
jeremycherfas !tell zegnat I am also not using your `sed` commands but doing it by hand.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Zegnat jeremycherfas, good. That’ll show you a bit of the internals then :) The REAME I did was obviously just for me to get the same set-up every time, and I didn’t want to revisit the configs
#
jeremycherfas OK. All done, Ihope.
#
jeremycherfas crosses fingers and launches Chrome
#
skippy ahoy hoy
#
jeremycherfas Ahoy skippy
#
jgmac1106 morning [skippy]
#
skippy how to micropub clients denote to a micropub server that an incoming submission is a bookmark? Do they specifically set h-type to bookmark?
#
Zegnat They include the bookmark-of property, and that should be enough.
#
skippy ah-ha. thanks.
#
cweiske curl -X POST -H 'User-Agent: shpub' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -H 'Authorization: Bearer asdf' -d 'h=entry' -d 'bookmark-of=http://example.org' 'https://commentpara.de/micropub.php'
#
skippy contemplating making my micropub server even more complicated. :)
#
jeremycherfas Zegnat There seems to be something very odd about the address I give to Omnibear. I give it http://localhost:8888/offlinepub.test but the browser shows offlinepub.test and says it cannot be reached.
#
jeremycherfas err name not resolved
#
Zegnat Sounds as if you are being redirected to `offlinepub.test`, which you obviously do not have. Are you sure you configured all the URLs right?
#
jeremycherfas Yes. Pretty sure.
#
jeremycherfas I'll recheck.
#
Zegnat Also in the index.html file? (Obvious one, but need to ask, incase you have only focussed on the separate config files.)
#
jeremycherfas Yes. Also in index.html
#
jeremycherfas Anyway, I can manually add it. And then I get this error
#
jeremycherfas error fetching token {message: "Error requesting token endpoint", status: null, error: TypeError: Failed to fetch}
#
Zegnat That’s not a helpful error at all. Can you check the actual HTTP request that Omnibear is doing?
#
Zegnat (Honestly, almost nobody gives actual good debugging messages in their projects, not just Omnibear.)
#
skippy "Oh Snap! Something went wrong!"
#
jeremycherfas The POST?
#
jeremycherfas I can try.
#
jeremycherfas But it doesn't show when I open the background page in Chrome.
#
jeremycherfas Huh? I tried without the http://localhost and everything SEEMS to have worked. Omnibear now has the correct token.
#
jeremycherfas Let me see what happens when I try to post something.
#
jeremycherfas Note posted successfully!
#
jeremycherfas I'm astonished.
#
jeremycherfas And there it is, under /content/micro/
#
jeremycherfas With about 8 minutes to go on my time limit. Seems a good time to stop.
#
Zegnat I have no idea what was stopping it from grabbing a token before then :P
#
Zegnat But there you go. selfauth+mintoken+nanopub = full offline micropubbing
#
Zegnat Or online-self-hosted, if you upload it. But if you do, please make sure to move things like the content folder and the tokens database file to outside your document root
#
jeremycherfas Oh, I'm not nearly ready to online yet.
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Yay!
#
Loqi yay!
#
[grantcodes] Those omnibear issues were likely related to my micropub library
#
jeremycherfas I liked the way skippy was handling creating the files in his micropub, and I need to adjust that to work with Grav. But at least I now know that I can use your chain to send stuff to the endpoint. The work now will be to make the endpoint add the YAML etc I need for Grav.
#
[grantcodes] It does generate some mildly useful errors, but could be improved
#
jeremycherfas Everyone++ for their help.
#
Loqi everyone has 1 karma in this channel (10 overall)
#
Zegnat [grantcodes], or the browser’s handling of the code
#
Zegnat There are still weird differences between the micropub helper code running in Firefox vs Chrome, IIRC
#
[grantcodes] I think it's more to do with it being in an extension and it's access to read headers
#
Zegnat You should be able to swap out nanopub for skippy’s micropub endpoint. I believe he also did some update to enable configurable token endpoint, jeremycherfas :) Maybe tomorrow’s 1 hour project, haha
#
Loqi agreed.
[keithjgrant] joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] Yeah, I'd love to improve debugging feedback in Omnibear. There's an issue in for it, but I haven't had the time in a while
#
jeremycherfas Tomorrow I have to bake bagels. But I may find an hour.
#
[keithjgrant] It doesn't help that opening the console & seeing logs there is really complicated in an extension, and varies between browsers
#
[keithjgrant] So I'll need to create my own log screen of some sort
#
jeremycherfas The worst is that the pop-up inspector closes on success.
#
[grantcodes] Ha yeah that is a pain I've run into while debugging
#
Zegnat Yes, I hate how it doesn’t keep the pop-up open.
#
jeremycherfas So not easy to see what was sent.
#
[keithjgrant] There is an option to disable auto-closing
#
Zegnat There is?! :o
#
jeremycherfas There is?
#
[keithjgrant] Settings screen 😎
#
jeremycherfas How? Where? Why wasn't it obvious?
#
[keithjgrant] 3rd checkbox
#
Zegnat Oh my
#
[keithjgrant] "close Omnibear window after posting"
#
Zegnat Not a Chrome option, but an extension option. Gotcha! Never thought to look
#
jeremycherfas Yeah, I saw that, but had no idea it applied to the pop-up inspector.
#
Zegnat If the popup doesn’t disappear, the inspector wouldn’t either.
#
Zegnat That is brilliant and needs to be documented somewhere
#
[keithjgrant] Yeah. The inspector window closes if the page it's inspecting gets closed
#
jeremycherfas Well, now we know. Thanks [keithjgrant]
#
[grantcodes] Also I think Firefox doesn't do that. I think if you debug an extension in Firefox it opens one console that watches all scripts in the extension and doesn't close. Might be wrong on my understanding of that though
#
Zegnat Hmm, yeah, there is something like that where Firefox will start a separate debugger process that should always stay open.
#
[keithjgrant] Yeah. Debugging in FF is much easier
#
[keithjgrant] All the scripts log to the same window
#
Zegnat But I have had more success with omnibear in Chrome, haha
#
[keithjgrant] In chrome, you've got the page script, bg page, and the Omnibear popup, each logging to their own console
#
[grantcodes] [keithjgrant] did you also run into the issue of indieauth won't redirect to an extension url, hence the use of the omnibear domain?
#
[keithjgrant] That sounds familiar
#
[keithjgrant] So what's your extension do? Is it something worth merging into Omnibear?
#
[grantcodes] I'm not sure what the end goal is yet to be honest.
#
[grantcodes] At the moment it is for inline creating / editing posts
#
[grantcodes] But I also want to include bookmark syncing
#
[grantcodes] And maybe some more experimental stuff
#
skippy i'm just waiting for Omnibear syndication to get resolved.
#
[grantcodes] Perhaps merging the inline editing stuff with omnibear would make sense but then it feels quite different, in my opinion it would completely replace the posting UI as have one in the pop-up and one on your site is muddled
#
[keithjgrant] @skippy I've merged a PR that I think will fix it. I'll see if I can get a release it with that change soon
#
skippy thanks [keithjgrant] !

@jgmac1106 Hey #edtechchat #digiuri #literacies #digped friends I need your help. Can you read this and then define “webmention?”: https://jgregorymcverry.com/hey-edtechchat-digiuri-literacies-digped-friends-i-need-your-help-can-you-read-this-and-then-define-webmention/ (twitter.com/_/status/997470649818939393)

jgmac1106 [keithjgrant] I just started exploring the FF Develop edition, the console is nice
leg joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas is giving himself another hour.
#
jeremycherfas And wondering whether to adapt nanopub or micropub to suit his bizarro needs.
#
Zegnat They are pretty similar. Just written for two different author's needs. You could also take either of them as a base of yet another Micropub implementation
#
jeremycherfas What is the meaning of the integers in `json_encode($array, 32 | 64 | 128 | 256);`?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "meaning of the integers in `json_encode($array, 32 | 64 | 128 | 256);`" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "meaning of the integers in `json_encode($array, 32 | 64 | 128 | 256);` is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
Zegnat Those are the actual values behind the flags documented on the json_encode PHP documentation page.
#
jeremycherfas Really appreciating comments in code by dgold
#
Zegnat I can't tell you which integer matches which flag without looking it up though. Not sure why he used the ints and not the constants.
#
jeremycherfas OK. So things like JSON_HEX etc etc.
#
Zegnat Yes
#
jeremycherfas Thanks. That bit wasn't making sense to me.
#
Zegnat Gives an interesting peek into how those flags actually work!
#
dgold jeremycherfas: oh, I'm so sorry - I meant to leave those in the comments.
#
dgold I'll add that now
#
dgold Zegnat: spaghetti code prevention
#
dgold one of the code linter things recommended it.
#
Zegnat Huh.
#
jeremycherfas No worries. I'm just trying to get a feel for what's going on.
#
Zegnat Well, you could make it even shorter and more indecipherable by swapping it out for the one integer result of that bitwise-OR ;-)
#
dgold Zegnat: um, amplify?
#
sknebel 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 is 481
#
jeremycherfas Dgold Your nanopub handles all webmention actions as well? I didn't reallse that.
#
sknebel (not suggesting someone actually do that. use the flag constants, there there for a reason)
#
Zegnat I was doing my very best to get my phone to tell me the result
#
dgold sknebel: but but - can I set a variable to the constants, then call the variable to insert the constants
#
Zegnat But sknebel meat me to it
#
dgold sknebel: because -- JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE -- all over the place looks godawful.
#
Zegnat 481 looks great to me ;-)
#
sknebel sure, a variable also makes sense
eli_oat joined the channel
#
dgold Zegnat: but, as jeremy quite rightly points out, its not exactly "verbose" for giving information to someone reading the code.

#
Zegnat You are right, sknebel, clearly my binary foo is insufficient, haha

jeremycherfas I don't follow the news, as you can tell.
snarfed, maingo and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas Grav expects each post to be within a folder. I can create a properly named folder, based on modifying dgold's $udate. But I don't seem to be able to write the file into that directory by changing $fn. Am I better off to try and move the file after it has been written?
#
dgold does the grav-user (presumably www-data) have proper write/create permissions in the folder?
#
jeremycherfas To put it another way, how do I pass the path as part of the filename? I've tried everything I can think of.
#
jeremycherfas Permissions is 755 on the folder
#
dgold aaronpk: when using xmlrpc.p3k, should I be entering _my_ site as the "publish to" in apps, or the xmlrpc.p3k.io/example.com address?
#
dgold and the folder owner?
#
jeremycherfas Owner is rwe so should be OK
#
dgold ok, if you're creating a folder, you may need to create the folder prior to writing a file into it
#
aaronpk dgold: you enter your own domain name when logging in. because you link to the xmlrpc.p3k.io site from your home page.
#
dgold I'm afraid I'm far from the best person to ask about that
#
dgold aaronpk: thank you
#
jeremycherfas I am doing that. Folder gets created just fine, and file gets written to $fn as per your nanopub dgold. But when I try to set $fn = ($path . $frontmatter['slug']) . "item.md"; it borks. But mkdir ($path . $frontmatter['slug']); works just fine
#
jeremycherfas $path being hard-coded, for now.
#
dgold you may need some '/' in there
#
jeremycherfas Maybe. I'll try some of that.
#
dgold after $frontmatter['slug']
#
dgold i really need to make those paths configurable
#
dgold just stop trying to fit all cases and just fit my cases

dgold aaronpk: hmmm, doesn't work with the icro microblog app

aaronpk does irco not use micropub?
sebsel joined the channel
#
dgold no, it does not
#
aaronpk oh darn
#
dgold its a nice looking app, but that's three-in-a-row for m.b apps that don't do micropub
#
dgold which, given that m.b's backend _is_ micropub, is both annoying and frustrating
#
dgold you're already fecking using it!
#
aaronpk that must point to either some additional work to support micropub that is too hard, or maybe just a lack of interest because people tend to gravitate to silo-only solutions because they're easier
#
aaronpk what did Irco end up implementing for authorization in micro.blog? I didn't think micro.blog has an oauth server.

#
[cleverdevil] Icro's latest beta supports Micropub.
#
[cleverdevil] Though, it requires you to manually paste in endpoint and token.
#
[cleverdevil] It'd be great if someone like [eddie] could take their individual components for things like Micropub, Indieauth, and Microsub client libraries, and make them available to iOS developers.
#
[cleverdevil] Make it as easy as possible for iOS developers to support the Indieweb.
#
[cleverdevil] Awesome.
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] Yeah, that’s definitely the goal. I have learned a lot getting Indigenous built. Once it’s live I would like to take the code I wrote and turn it into a Swift library. I’ve tried to keep the IndieAuth/Micropub specific code as separate as possible
snarfed and renem joined the channel
#
[eddie] aaronpk: Icro supports micro.blog’s login mechanism. When you finish the login flow you have the m.b hosted token.
#
KartikPrabhu what is icro?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "icro" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "icro is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[eddie] aaronpk: I think if m.b supported the IndieAuth flow for its login functionality that would get more people to use it
#
[eddie] I think it points to more silo-focused behavior than a difficulty in Micropub. With limited time they are focusing on core m.b stuff
#
[eddie] So the more code m.b stuff (like login) that uses IndieWeb standards, the more people will build to spec
#
[eddie] I think one challenge is posting seems to be the most difficult challenge for people because m.b native app supports XML-RPC, m.b Micropub (with m.b login) and Micropub using IndieAuth
#
[eddie] So any new app maker is thinking about 3 types of login/posting
#
[eddie] So even the new Android app has punted on posting for their first release
#
[eddie] I also think when the 3rd party m.b apps are looking at the three specs, IndieAuth Micropub is at the bottom of their list. Because more people know and understand Wordpress and XML-RPC
#
dgold a reference swift indiesuite would be a huge bonus
#
dgold [eddie]: I did follow the login mechanism, it disnae work
#
dgold oh, the beta, nvm
[manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] I need to update the docs to better explain the posting APIs. XML-RPC is really just a legacy API to solve 2 things: letting apps like MarsEdit post to M.b-hosted blogs, and letting the M.b app post to WordPress blogs. New clients like Icro can mostly ignore XML-RPC unless they need out-of-the-box WordPress posting.
#
[manton] Er, meaning WordPress without any extra plugins.
#
dgold you could put a [deprecated] flag on the XML-RPC, but that might scare people away
#
[manton] I put Micropub at the top of the "Posting API" help documentation, with XML-RPC at the end. But it's kind of confusing. Room for improvement here. http://help.micro.blog/2017/api-posting/
#
dgold you could possibly use a spec-type language, "should" vs. "may"
#
sknebel or explicitly say "I recommend you use Micropub, xml-rpc is mainly for backwards compatibility for things that do not yet support Micropub"
#
[manton] Thanks. Yep, that makes sense to me.
#
[manton] It will be a little confusing to users because not all clients are going to support all the same blogging servers. But that probably can't be avoided.
#
[eddie] [manton] I was thinking about that the other day. It would probably be more work than it’s worth, but I was wondering. What if you have Micropub support for the actual micro.blog/user that could act as a forwarding mechanism to things like xml-rpc.
#
[eddie] So a user could log in to xml-rpc on the micro.blog website and then receive posts from any app that sends a Micropub post to micro.blog
#
[eddie] You could use the same mp-destination for hosted blogs and external blogs like Wordpress

[manton] I think I originally avoided that because I didn't want to store everyone's WordPress passwords on the server. But it could be done. It would be simpler in a few ways.
#
[eddie] Ohhhh that’s true. That does get a little tricky
#
[eddie] Server versus app storing them
#
[manton] Right, in the app they're in the iOS keychain so no big deal.
#
[eddie] Yeah, that makes sense
#
aaronpk let's get marsedit to add micropub support, then one less thing relying on legacy xml-rpc :D
#
[eddie] Probably better just getting Micropub optimized everywhere we can just not need xml-rpc as much
#
[eddie] Ah, haha yep
#
[eddie] I guess in order for that. We need some specs around querying server posts. I don’t think Daniel wants to touch it until it can support the features he has in xml-rpc. From what I’ve seen him say
#
[manton] I think everything for querying posts is documented now, but just has limited support on server implementations. (And the documentation might not all be in one place yet...)
#
dgold you had incredible uptick in speed recently, thank you
#
[manton] Good to hear!

@MadTJ84 I was looking at IndieAuth and ran across a nice read - https://medium.com/samsung-internet-dev/raindrops-on-roses-whiskers-on-kittens-declarative-web-apis-and-truly-serverless-web-endpoints-50d733e6d867 (twitter.com/_/status/997555758966296576)

skippy seems like a suitable response to that miasma of words....
#
aaronpk 😂
#
aaronpk okay, just read https://www.computerworld.com/article/3244128/security/how-blockchain-makes-self-sovereign-identities-possible.html and I'm pretty sure indieauth would also check all those boxes of "self-soverign identity"
#
aaronpk considering signing up to demo indieauth by demoing a bunch of completely different identity providers all working together
