Hi- I am confused with the instructions
#
gRegor
drewmcweeney, for indielogin, there's a couple options 1) your site needs to link to a service, like your Github profile, with a `rel="me"` on the link. Then your Github profile needs to link back to your site. Then indielogin will use that verified relationship to sign you in...
#
gRegor
Or 2) your site is running an IndieAuth server. WordPress and some other CMSes have plugins for this, basically letting you use your own site's admin login system to authenticate you
#
gRegor
It sounds like you're not on WP anymore, so maybe you had that plugin when you initially signed in to the wiki but don't now
#
drewmcweeney
Okay so if I have an icon with a link to GitHub on my profile that is the first thing?
#
gRegor
1 is the more common option, 2 usually takes some more work
#
drewmcweeney
How do you get a rel=me on the link?
#
gRegor
It doesn't have to be visible, even. Lower on the instructions under "Advanced" there's a hidden option, so it could be like: `<link href="https://github.com/gregorlove" rel="me">` for my profile
#
drewmcweeney
Here is the page that I put the GitHub link on (it is the globe icon)
#
drewmcweeney
Scroll all the way down
#
[tantek]
yes, visible links are preferred because they are more likely to be kept up to date
#
gRegor
These rel-me links need to be on https://drewmcweeney.com/ since that's the URL you'll sign in with
#
drewmcweeney
That the intro page not the home page
#
drewmcweeney
The rel-me link is on the home page?
#
gRegor
Yeah, the usual setup is that your domain name is your identity, so when you go to sign in you would enter "drewmcweeney.com" in the sign in form, not "drewmcweeney.com/home"
#
drewmcweeney
So the github icon has to be on the intro page?
#
gRegor
The link to github has to be somewhere on the intro page, yes. Visible is recommended like [tantek] mentioned, but invisible is an option if you prefer
#
drewmcweeney
How do I get invisible option?
#
gRegor
btw, https://github.com/DrewMcWeeney already links back to https://drewmcweeney.com/ with rel-me on it, so halfway done! :)
#
drewmcweeney
So how do I get invisible option on intro page
#
drewmcweeney
So how do I get invisible option on intro page
#
gRegor
The <link> tag: `<link href="https://github.com/DrewMcWeeney" rel="me">`
#
gRegor
I do the invisible option on my site if you want to look at the source: https://gregorlove.com/
#
drewmcweeney
Here is what it looks like
#
gRegor
You'll need to put it in the HTML of your site. Looks like it's just showing it as text now.
#
gRegor
What's running your site?
#
[0x3b0b]
You're going to need to use "Edit Content" "Add Feature" "HTML code"
#
gRegor
Ah, nice!
#
[0x3b0b]
Or at least, that should work. I don't know for sure that's the only supported way.
#
drewmcweeney
Okay I did that
#
drewmcweeney
Do you see it?
#

drewmcweeney.com
#
gRegor
Yep, it looks good. You can try signing in to indieweb.org now. It should take you through your Github to authorize the request

It worked! Thank you so much!
#
gRegor
Awesome! You're welcome
#
gRegor
Nice track btw, Ramen Noodle Week. Digging it.
#
[tantek]
drewmcweeney++ nicely done! you can also use https://indiewebify.me/ to check your site's rel=me support

experimenting with new curated comments markup and styling
#
gRegor
what is curated comments
#
Loqi
curated comments are an approach to presenting comments on posts which emphasize one or more techniques for only showing comments that have been explicitly selected by the original post author, both from other sites and local comments, sometimes with a UI deliberately designed to solicit comments as collaborative notes to be added to the original post https://indieweb.org/curated_comments

similar but different markup than what I've used in the past
#
[tantek]
curated comments << IndieWeb Example: {{t}} is experimenting with statically displayed curated comments with an explicit notice about the curation and sources of comments. E.g. https://tantek.com/2024/180/b1/responsible-inventing#responsible-inventing-comments
#
Loqi
ok, I added "IndieWeb Example: {{t}} is experimenting with statically displayed curated comments with an explicit notice about the curation and sources of comments. E.g. https://tantek.com/2024/180/b1/responsible-inventing#responsible-inventing-comments" to the "See Also" section of /curated_comments https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=96148&oldid=96118
#
[tantek]
feedback welcome! it's an experiment after all

[tantek] [snarfed] Catching up on the Social CG / fediverse:creator questions… rel=author with activity+json and the actor URL makes a lot of sense to me.

[snarfed] they're manual, but hey, as the saying goes
#
aaronpk
figuring out what you want them to look like is a huge chunk of the work regardless of whether they are automatic or manually created!
aaronpk and lazcorp joined the channel
#
[tantek]
yes that was a bunch of work and iteration, along with the markup

btw that request for feedback includes if anyone is viewing source and looking at the specific comment markup or on the presentation.
#
[tantek]
there is a potential challenge here of how to at least semi-accurately convey the semantics/formatting of responses both from personal sites (via webmention) and from federated replies
#
[tantek]
in a unified / consistent presentation, i.e. I don't want to make comments look different just because of their underlying protocol or source
#
[tantek]
feedback is also inclusive of questions, like if you see something and wonder why, please ask!
AramZS joined the channel
#
[tantek]
yes, [snarfed], roughly, except with some re-ordering and explicit use of an ordered list both for semantics and presentation
#
[tantek]
I decided clustering the author / published / permalink at the top in one line felt and communicated better information architecture (as one "header" chunk) in front of the comment contents, rather than putting the date and permalink at the bottom after the comment content
#
[tantek]
also this is the 3rd iteration of "Comments" section markup that I've done, manually, so the iteration/evolution is viewable
