vivus Hello. Is anybody lurking here?
#
KartikPrabhu hi vivus
#
vivus Hi KartikPrabhu :) how are you?
#
KartikPrabhu very well
#
vivus concerning this site: https://github.com/microformats/h2vx.com . is there a way to get it to run locally?
#
Loqi [microformats] h2vx.com: H2VX microformats to vCard/iCalendar converter, test dev.h2vx.com for issues
#
vivus It is running locally for me, but when I try to convert a generated hCard, it fails
#
KartikPrabhu what about it is failing?
#
vivus well I have adjusted all the URLs so that it points locally now. eg. 10.0.0.99
#
vivus Unless ... it shouldn't be pointing to that address
#
KartikPrabhu i think you sould use relative URLS
#
KartikPrabhu just to be sure
#
KartikPrabhu most likely the URLs in the code were relative anyway
#
vivus they're hard-coded as the h2vx.com domain: https://github.com/microformats/h2vx.com/blob/master/vcf/index.html
#
vivus https://github.com/microformats/h2vx.com/blob/master/vcf/sharing.js
#
vivus document.getElementById('vcardlink').value = 'http://h2vx.com/vcf/'+uri;
#
KartikPrabhu oh, then converting them to relative URLs is probably good instad of hard-coding another URL
#
vivus KartikPrabhu: can you provide an example of relative URL?
#
KartikPrabhu instead of "example.com/page" if you do "/page" then the "example.com" is assumed
#
vivus should it be `/page` or `../page` ?
#
KartikPrabhu from "example.com/test/page2" the URL "/page" links to "example.com/page" while "../page" links to "example.com/test/page"
#
vivus KartikPrabhu: if you look here: https://github.com/microformats/h2vx.com/blob/master/vcf/sharing.js . you will see the URLs are hard-coded. what should I change those URLs to?

vivus KartikPrabhu: so nothing I am trying is fixing the errors for running the website locally
#
vivus Hello tantek

#
vivus debugging the PHP app is quite a pain
#
Zegnat vivus, you could always file an issue on the repository of you think all URLs should be made relative.
#
vivus Zegnat: to get the site to run locally is proving impossible. I have been at it for like 5 hours, making random quirks to PHP settings without luck
#
vivus I think I may just write my own parser in Python
#
Zegnat Hmm, that's unexpected. I'm sure I have run it. Will take a look once I get my hands on breakfast
#
vivus Thank you Zegnat . Please let me know what changes you made to run it and I will do the same
#
Zegnat I don't remember any changes. But we'll see. Will keep you posted, vivus.
#
Zegnat vivus, it seems to work for me locally. What is failing for you exactly?
#
Zegnat I didn’t need to change any URLs to make it work.
#
Zegnat Only URLs like /vcf/tantek.com will not work when you have the site sitting in a subdirectory, looks like. But through the form field: no problems.

#
[kevinmarks] There is a microformats parser in python, it's constructing the vcard that needs doing

#
vivus Zegnat: so you just ran it as-is and had no conflicts with the domain-name?
#
vivus and from what kevinmarks has said, is the vcard/hCard relationship not 1-to-1?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] It's pretty close - h-card is a bit different in terms of nesting
#
vivus [kevinmarks]: the problem I have with using h-card is lack of support across devices. I believe hCard is supported on Android/iOS/Thunderbird/other-clients, so it might be better to adopt that option for now
#
vivus unless h-card provides major benefits over hCard
#
Zegnat The preview URL is wrong, yes, vivus. But that is a presentational thing, not a functional thing. You can still use the download button or the links with your domain substituted in.
