!tell misuba try the following patch https://github.com/idno/Known/pull/1019 - might help. Can't test end to end myself because of #1018, but it works up to the point the process runs out of memory :)
#

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

hey mapkyca, I've got a quick Known noob question: where do you suggest adding rel="me" and rel="pgpkey" in a self-host Known install?
#
endi
I've tried not to fiddle around with any of the php when it comes to Known
#
mapkyca
endi: pretty sure that profile urls on profile pages do rel="me" automatically. rel="pgpkey" is another matter, however one of my experimental pgp plugins I wrote a while back added this I think... you might be able to adapt the code...
j12t and benwerd joined the channel
#
endi
ah ok. I didn't know if there was a .php file where I could append some rel= lines
#
endi
I know the profile links are properly labeled but there may be some that I don't want as functional links
#
endi
usually i would put them as <link rel="" href=""> in the header.. was wondering if there's an analogue I could do here that would put them into the headers of each page
#
mapkyca
hmmm... not at the moment, but there could be a case for a custom <head> plugin, if there isn't one already
#
mapkyca
failing that you could just manually put them into the template

mapkyca
iirc themes provide a more flexible mechanism for extending things (like headers) which may be a way to go

Hmm that just made me think of the "Custom JavaScript" in the settings
#
endi
I overlooked it because it said JavaScript rather than Header/Footer or JS/HTML etc
#
endi
but yeah, what I was thinking was to hard code it into the theme or wherever you guys recommended; would complicate updates but definitely doable

@SocialEurope in my case it's @withknown community open-source edition, but there are WP/blogger implementation, hopefully Drupal & others

@SocialEurope
@RikMende @withknown We’ll have a look. Thanks! We get good comments but loads of spam and nonsense too.

mapkyca
^^^ i'll take that as a +1 for some sort of comment moderation / spam filter. Loathed to implement akismet, although that might be a good stopgap.
#
mapkyca
benwerd: perhaps could be a useful feature for convoy...
#
benwerd
Yes! That conversation is about native comments on other platforms, but I think the point stands.
#
Loqi
cleverdevil: mapkyca left you a message 2 days, 7 hours ago: Indeed, this is an open ticket - https://github.com/idno/Known/issues/206
#
cleverdevil
creating an `h-review` focused plugin (hopefully).
#
cleverdevil
want to be sure I'm on the right track from a markup/output perspective.
#
cleverdevil
(eventually, I'd like it to be able to POSSE over to silos like Goodreads, Amazon, etc.)
#
mapkyca
wonder if something along the lines of http://ssdeep.sourceforge.net/ might be useful - i.e. comment is hashed and sent to convoy server for analysis, then compared against a corpus of hashes of comments seen by other people in a fuzzy way (perhaps with a dictionary word local backup), might address privacy concerns. Just thinking aloud...

mapkyca
although I quite like the idea of using micro payments - comments require you to pay 0.01EUR or something, which is held in escrow until the comment is approved at which you get it back (or it gets donated to a charity of your choice), but you don't get it back if it's spam. Introduces an economic cost for at scale spamming...
#
mapkyca
again, just thinking aloud
#
benwerd
cleverdevil: that looks really good to me
#
benwerd
Syndicating reviews to Amazon would be amazing. But it's also, quietly, a simple way for people to optionally make money from their own sites, by including affiliate links inside the things they recommend.
#
benwerd
I've been wanting to start writing movie reviews since forever (I used to do that on the side at the Edinburgh Festivals), and this would be great for that.
#
cleverdevil
well, I'll get the foundation going :)
#
cleverdevil
my PHP is still very very rusty, so some of the sync stuff is likely being be for a while.
#
cleverdevil
but, yes, that's absolutely my vision for this.
#
cleverdevil
being able to do as many types of reviews, with syndication to other sites, including affiliate links.
#
benwerd
Very cool indeed.
#
cleverdevil
one thing I am struggling with is the "category" stuff.
#
cleverdevil
technically speaking, it could be a review for pretty much anything.
#
cleverdevil
my gut says it'd be nice to have a pre-defined list of typical review types (Book, Movie, Generic Product, Restaurant, etc.)
#
cleverdevil
otherwise, it's likely to end up being wild-west.
#
benwerd
That's probably a good idea - remembering that people can always extend the plugin if they need to review anything you haven't covered
#
@nxD4n
@withknown @benwerd is twere a way to load custum js & css for genericDataTypes or only for custom entities?

can I also suggest @withknown as a way to keep all your social media under your own control, push to other services? #msudai

benwerd: when creating a new content-type plugin (say, for reviews), and doing a dropdown, should I just use <select>?
#
cleverdevil
or should I try and do something more like the stylized "dropdown" for access-control/ACL
j12t joined the channel
#
benwerd
cleverdevil: I'd say it's entirely up to you and your goals. There's no "right way" - we used the divs to have a little more control over the style.
#
cleverdevil
I think it'll look better if its consistent.
#
cleverdevil
so, I'll try and clone the look.
#
cleverdevil
so, I think in future versions of Known, it'd be nice to have this functionality be common.
#
cleverdevil
meaning, plugin authors can pull in some sort of utility to create and style these types of dropdowns.
#
cleverdevil
for consistency.

okay, feedback requested :)
#
cleverdevil
note the "Review" icon
#
cleverdevil
this is what it looks like

oops, I mean this:

thoughts?

kylewm
cleverdevil: looks really good, how about switching out the "Product Name" prompt and placeholder depending on the selected product type?
#
kylewm
and then maybe for version 2 you could pull the book cover or movie poster or whatever for different content types :)
#
cleverdevil
good suggestions.
