Starting on modding pfefferle's draft Facepile code. Fixed some issues, going to merge in some of my old stuff in that area and some new stuff.

How is this looking so far?
#
GWG
It needs to be marked up next
[miklb] and tantek joined the channel
#
GWG
It's coming together
#
[miklb]
did you decide to go with individual comment types?
#
GWG
This is the facepile code
#
[miklb]
right, but using comment_meta or a comment_type?
#
GWG
For now, meta. But again, not calling it directly.
#
GWG
This is about presentation.
#
[miklb]
not calling what directly? you’re are using the wrapper function get_linkbacks?
#
GWG
Yes, and some new ones
#
GWG
has_linkbacks and list_linkbacks
#
[miklb]
that makes sense, if the query changes from comment_meta to comment_type, it wouldn’t break a theme
#
GWG
Also, means that the themes have less to do if they wish.
#
GWG
But still can do more
#
GWG
After I think it is stable, I would like to solicit some opinions.

hey GWG just fyi, i'm trying out the bridgy plugin's new use of bridgy's registration API (with flickr), and the initial POST to bridgy works, but when bridgy redirects back to wordpress after flickr auth, wordpress 404s
#

snarfed: tantek left you a message 3 weeks ago: see recently posted http://aaroncommand.com/2017/06/25/a-stream-of-consciousness-review-of-the-indie-webs-onboarding-experience-from-a-ux-standpoint/ a bunch of GREAT suggestions for improving WordPress IndieWeb onboarding (including with Bridgy etc.) LOTS of ideas for small & big hack projects there, quick improvments, longer term things.
#
snarfed
lmk if you want me to file a bug
#
GWG
snarfed: That's odd.
#
GWG
I wonder why it 404s
#
snarfed
plugin version 1.3.0, installed from wp.org
snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG
snarfed: I just changed the URL to my test site, and it didn't 404.
#
GWG
Odd.
#
snarfed
interesting ok
#
snarfed
may be my htaccess or other env then

[svnsbck] #37 Registering for Instragram doesn't work
#
GWG
Speaking of which
#
GWG
I have one for you
#
snarfed
yup. still working its way up my todo list. https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/752
#
Loqi
[snarfed] #752 registration API doesn't support new indieauth instagram signup flow
#
snarfed
(i'm a little surprised you released it in the bridgy plugin if you knew it was broken :P)
#
snarfed
no matter though!
#
GWG
I must have missed it
#
GWG
snarfed: I don't have an Instagram account.
#
GWG
I probably should break down and get one
#
snarfed
but you still found that at IWC 2017 originally and told me
#
snarfed
no worries
#
GWG
snarfed: I think I just forgot to turn it off before I released the feature a week or so later
#
snarfed
np, i expect to fix it soon
#
GWG
I'm in the middle of Facepiles.
#
GWG
pfefferle and I set up the next two features. I'm on Facepile duty for Semantic Linkbacks, he's on caching avatars.
#
snarfed
facepiles++ yay!
#
Loqi
facepiles has 2 karma
#
Loqi
woot
#
snarfed
GWG: i have a facepile feature request: a limit on how many get displayed, and then an ellipsis or something similar you can click on to show the rest
#
snarfed
like silos
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb]
I like that idea. I was going to set it up so the size got smaller depending on the count, but that sounds better
#
[miklb]
I just haven’t had a popular enough note to need it yet ?
#
GWG
snarfed: That is going to be a bit harder
#
Loqi
[David Shanske] On Mt. Scopus, about to head into Jerusalem.
#
GWG
This is an example of an old post I imported to test on.
#
GWG
The problem with an ellipsis is going to be how you work it.
#
snarfed
GWG: really? i'm pretty sure it's easy. put the first 10 (or N) in one span, then a '...' link, then the rest in another span. hide the second span with CSS, and make the link change its CSS to show it with a bit of JS.
#
GWG
snarfed: I'm more worried about pagination.
#
GWG
Comment pagination in WP interferes a bit
#
snarfed
ah ok. that's a separate issue.
#
snarfed
backs away slowly
#
GWG
snarfed: How is the rendering for a first pass though?
#
GWG
pfefferle came up with the design last year. Filtering the comment array to remove other types, then adding using the comment_form_before hook.
#
GWG
I never thought of doing that.
#
GWG
It's the way he did the webmention form also, which means it won't work on Jetpack sites
#
GWG
That use Jetpack comments.
#
snarfed
awesome
#
snarfed
can't wait! gl!
#
GWG
snarfed: I also set up a function for you to override it with.
#
GWG
I know you like customization
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed
rendering looks ok. consider auto cropping all avatars to square? the differences right now don't look great
#
GWG
snarfed: We can't. We're loading them from remote URLs. I figured that is something we can do once pfefferle does the local caching part. We can store it cropped.
#
snarfed
i'm sure it's still possible either way! but ok
#
GWG
snarfed, wouldn't cropping be expensive on the fly?
#
snarfed
there are options for not server side in the request serving path. do it at wm receipt time like you mentioned, do it client side in css, etc
#
snarfed
also consider an option for icons instead of "likes," "reposts," etc
#
snarfed
and i assume you plan to support rsvps too?
#
snarfed
GWG++ for working on this!
#
Loqi
gwg has 13 karma in this channel (256 overall)
#
GWG
I thought I would wait for server side for now
#
GWG
As for RSVPs, they just need a different layout

GWG
Facepiles were my first project. Glad to finally see about merging them in
#
GWG
That was the first surprise I had meeting tantek and pfefferle
