ben_thatmustbeme GWG you said you use something jf2-like right?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme Want to check it against validator.jf2.rocks?
#
GWG Yes, flattened mf2, similar to x-ray and jf2
#
ben_thatmustbeme Curious if it actually validates as jf2 though

[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?

tantek [miklb]: they're such different things

#
[miklb] what’s different things tantek?
#
tantek the use cases
#
tantek asking a user u-photo vs u-featured is only going to be confusing -
#
[miklb] use cases of what? the two classes?
#
tantek it's more like, hey is this a photo post?
#
tantek or are you just decorating this blog post?
#
[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?”
#
tantek ideally there would be no checkbox, and the plugin could tell if the user was creating a photo post or an article
#
[miklb] I give up.

#
tantek miklb, which plugin adds the u-photo or u-featured into the markup?
ricmac_ and [miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb] There isn't one.
#
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.

#
GWG I keep jumping from thing to thing

#
[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.
