[capjamesg] One thing I want to do with my site search engine is have a with: shortcut that lets me see blog posts I have written with someone.
#
[capjamesg] I haven’t seen this feature in a search engine before so thought I’d document the idea here.

chr0m4 [capjamesg]: how do you handle multi author?

#
[capjamesg] I added a `with` attribute to my posts to indicate if I wrote a piece with someone.
#
[capjamesg] I mention who I wrote it with in the introduction to the piece, too.
#
WinnerWind [capjamesg]: that's really neat! do you have an example of how you're rendering it on the page? i wanted to add an authors' field to my site but i didn't yet because i wasn't sure how it should be displayed

#
[capjamesg] I don’t do any custom rendering. I just say it in the text: https://jamesg.blog/2026/07/13/repeat-that-repeat
#
[capjamesg] This is because what it means to write something with someone else varies between each of the collaborative pieces I have done.
#
WinnerWind i see, yeah, if there isnt a standardized way then i dont really see how you can make a standard field for it. cool nonetheless!
#
[capjamesg] Thank you! I did think about having a /with/<author> page to list posts I have written with different authors, but I haven’t done that yet.

#
[capjamesg] I wish CMS software let you have the concept of an author without necessarily requiring them to have a profile on your site.
#
[capjamesg] Ghost lets you set multiple authors but that requires having profiles for each author.

[tantek] noticing the topic filters on blogroll-org (linked recently in #indieweb) require JS to function, and I couldn't help but wonder if they could be done with pure HTML+CSS? e.g. make all the topic filters HTML checkboxes (which can be restyled to look like the buttons they are currently), and then using :checked pseudo-classes to show/hide various individual entries by class name
#
[tantek] (they seem to currently require JS to work)

tdrayson [capjamesg]: Could you use a taxonomy? thats how I would handle it. Just create a new taxonomy called "with" or whatever then create each "author" as a new "term" in essence. then you would be able to connect as many people as you wanted to a post, and query by posts where "x" person is linked etc.
#
[capjamesg] I sort of have that in how it is implemented, but not how it is presented.

Zegnat jkingweb: moving here from #microformats, was there a reason you wrote your own Uri wrapper?
#
Zegnat I just added support to my link parser for the new \Dom\HTMLDocument from PHP 8.4 and was also looking at implementing the native Uri stuff.
#
Zegnat Currently using Uri and UriResolver from Guzzle
