jeremycherfas Good morning
#
Loqi guten morgen
#
mapkyca bore da
#
jeremycherfas You’re Welsh?
#
mapkyca heh heh! na, just have some welsh friends and go climing in Wales quite often ;)
#
jeremycherfas Sufficient reason.
#
jeremycherfas Mapkyca: If I opt to clone the idno repo onto my server, would I add the the Uploads foler and config.ini to .gitignore?
j12t joined the channel
#
mapkyca .gitignore only affects things if you're commiting to the repo - just keep a backup of your upload directory and config.ini, just in case. A backup of your database wouldn't hurt either. Other than those precautions it's fairly safe - all my known sites are direct checkouts from git.
#
jeremycherfas OK. I don’t think I’ll be committing anything!
#
dgold go on, jeremy, take the plunge!
#
dgold update all of the things :)
#
jeremycherfas dgold: I’m in the middle of updating via SFTP and it is taking forever, which is why I was thinking about just doing it with GIT.
#
jeremycherfas On the last stretch now.
#
dgold ick, no fan of sftp
#
dgold has found rsync to be better
#
jeremycherfas I get a bit nervous with rsync.
#
jeremycherfas Weird — About still shows version 0.9.2
#
dgold just let me check mine
#
dgold yup - same
#
jeremycherfas But that’s the latest stable package.
#
dgold probably just not bumped the ver in the git repo
#
jeremycherfas And Quill still fails to find the syndication targets. Need to investigate further.
#
dgold hit 'refresh list' on quill
#
jeremycherfas I did that. Nada.
#
jeremycherfas And test 601 at micropub.rocks still fails
#
dgold ok - when I refresh, I see my three configured endpoints
#
dgold do you have root access to your server?
#
dgold root/shell
#
jeremycherfas Yes.
#
jeremycherfas When you say configued endpoints, where did you configure?
#
dgold ok - as follows:
#
jeremycherfas Quill shows me my profile and my micropub endpoints and my access token but Refresh syndicate does nothing
#
dgold First Installed & Activated the IndieSyndicate Known Plugin
#
dgold Site Configuration -> Plugins
#
jeremycherfas Ah. Maybe that’s it. I have IndiePub but not IndieSyndicate.
#
dgold Then I set up Synidcation Endpoints in Account Settings -> IndieSyndicate
#
dgold Then (separately) I installed the Twitter Plugin (not linked from the Known DOcs) and linked that to a Twitter account
#
dgold and now that also shows up as an Endpoint in Quill
#
jeremycherfas Let me look for that.
#
jeremycherfas OK, Got that, now will configure
#
jaduncan[m] dgold - that was on master rather than 0.9.2? Indiesyndicate has been erroring out for me on 0.9.2.
#
jeremycherfas Rats! Fatal error.
#
jeremycherfas Jaduncan: My version says 0.9.2 but I just downloaded the master
#
jeremycherfas I see the problem. Because I just downloaded the zip of indiesyndication I didn’t get at least one of the externals required.
#
jaduncan[m] jeremycherfas: Ah. And you got an error something like this?
#
jaduncan[m] Known experienced a problem with this page and couldn't continue. The technical details are as follows:
#
jaduncan[m] Fatal Error: /home/user/KnownDir/Idno/Core/MentionClient.php:16 - "Class 'IndieWeb\MentionClient' not found", on page domain.name/account/indiesyndicate/add
#
jeremycherfas No, this is my error: Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/jcgrav/stream.jeremycherfas.net/IdnoPlugins/KnownIndieSyndicate/external/barnabywalters/mf-cleaner/src/BarnabyWalters/Mf2/Functions.php' (include_path='/home/jcgrav/stream.jeremycherfas.net/external/htmlpurifier-lite/library:.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in
#
jeremycherfas /home/jcgrav/stream.jeremycherfas.net/IdnoPlugins/KnownIndieSyndicate/autoloader.php on line 5
#
jeremycherfas Dgold: how did you install IndieSyndicate
#
dgold git clone'd the IS repo into IdnoPlugins
#
dgold git clone --recursive https://github.com/kylewm/KnownIndieSyndicate.git IndieSyndicate
#
jeremycherfas Yup. Going to do that. Thanks.

#
jeremycherfas Dgold: I get an error of “Endpoint does not appear to support Micropub or Webmention:” when I attempt to add Twitter as my syndication target. So I’m confused as heck. What is the target? Is it Quill, or Twitter?
#
jeremycherfas OK, I used silo.pub and at least that seems to have been accepted. Now to see about Quill.
#
dgold sorry, was afk
#
dgold yes - the endpoint is your syndicate-to service, e.g. silo.pub or twitter &c
#
jeremycherfas Managed to get silo to syndicate — but that’s no advance on the Twitter plugin. And Quill still cannot find the endpoint.
#
dgold 'no advance on the twitter pluign' - what do you mean?
#
dgold tbh, I think at this point you'd be best to take your backup config.ini and your Uploads/, and do a fresh install, then re-implement the plugins one by one until you have what you want.
#
dgold it seems that something has gotten broken - if you've set up a silo.pub endpoint, then quill should see that as an endpoint
#
jeremycherfas I mean that the Twitter plugin was enabling me to syndicate to Twitter. I was hoping to be able to syndicate to Twitter directly from Quill.
#
jeremycherfas It does honestly seem to me that there are so many moving parts, and as a result so many things potentially to stop moving, that it is really hard to get my head around. I think some really clear diagrams or animations would be very useful. Maybe that’s something I can contribute.
#
dgold jeremycherfas: I've syndicated directly to tiwwter from quill
#
dgold yup - just did it again
#
dgold https://headcrash.ascraeus.org/2017/quick-test-for-syndic -- that was done entirely from quill
#
jeremycherfas That’s great. It means that Quill can find your syndication targets. But it cannot seem to find mine, even after adding IndieSyndicate
#
dgold that's what I mean - i think(fear) there's something borked in your installation
#
jeremycherfas So you’re suggesting I go back to square one and activate one plugin at a time, just like the good old days with WP. Mybe I should. But not today.
#
jeremycherfas I’m already behind with my “work”
#
dgold coolio
j12t joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas Perhaps while I’m about it I’ll clone the idno repo rather than faff around with FTP. But, like I say, not today.

dgold importing an entire hugo blog to known -- did not go well
#
dgold lost all my image files from old instagram posts
#
dgold no idea how I can repair that
#
dgold any idea how I go about deleting c.690 posts from known?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] How were the image files linked/hosted?
#
tantek import needs undo
#
tantek that's probably worth filing a feature request for :)
#
dgold will do :(
#
dgold at this point, I'm going to just spade it under
#
tantek dgold, you can blame me for it too :)
#
Loqi *sniff*
#
dgold this *was* just an experimental site
#
tantek doesn't matter! undo is important
#
tantek especially when it saves a lot of time

dgold tantek++

dgold may as well just attack the mysql

#
dgold think I may as well just attack the sql, given that I'm resigned to losing the data anyway
#
aaronpk try with a GUI sql client

#
dgold aaronpk++ nice client.

dgold (here's hoping anyway)
