#[miklb]So I haven’t quite figured out where the best place to put the code to have a checkbox in the add media screen to add `u-photo` or `u-featured`. I was thinking the indieweb plugin, then the mf2 plugin, but after some of the discussions, neither seems like a appropriate place. Maybe just share the gist for anyone to add to their own theme/plugin?
#[miklb]I didn’t say that’s what the UI was going to be, I just said it’s going to be a checkbox to allow someone to add the class without having to edit the post.
#[miklb]I fully understand the difference between the classes.
#[miklb]The question I have is, is there an appropriate plugin in the ecosystem to add the feature to?
#[miklb]It’s a pretty simple feature, but something that confuses new users. “Why didn’t my photo POSSE to FB?”
#tantekideally there would be no checkbox, and the plugin could tell if the user was creating a photo post or an article
#GWG[miklb]: u-featured could probably be added to any post_thumbnail, the term for a featured image in WordPress. Microformats 2 plugin idea
#[miklb]GWG my thinking there was what if someone isn’t using post-kinds or post-formats, how do they add u-photo then? What if someone wants to use the WP featured image but that be the primary content still? Maybe I am trying to oversimplify by giving the user a radio button to choose photo/featured/none when they attach the image.
#[miklb]over simplify or over complicate. I’m not sure anymore.

#[miklb]I have the code, just wasn’t sure if the mf2 plugin would be the best place, since it could be useful for someone using a theme that has mf2 baked in. But I guess a theme could over ride it or copy the function.

#[miklb]Comes down I guess to the decision to keep all of the plugins separate, inevitably, there’s going to be either overlap or someone could miss out on a feature.
