!tell colinwalker if you use git for your stuff already and just need to get to SVN for WordPress - https://github.com/deanc/wordpress-plugin-git-svn
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Loqi
[deanc] wordpress-plugin-git-svn: Deploy a wordress plugin from within GIT to Wordpress.org's SVN repository
#
[miklb]
there’s a neat little Grunt task in the IW WP repos that make a readme.txt out of the README.md too. Or maybe it’s the other way, but handy nonetheless.
#
[miklb]
If I’m doing the reacji thing, and I filter all incoming replies for single emoji, I should just save it with commentmeta, with the short_name or the whole array?
#
Ruxton_
i'd argue they should be kept seperate miklb, readme.md at repo root for a "how to use this code/repo" and wordpress readme.txt with user usage specifics
#
[miklb]
fair point

[miklb]
so I think I have a plan for how to deal with _incoming_ reactions, but not sure how to handle existing ones. (re: reacji)

What is the plan?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "plan" yet. Would you like to create it?

#
[miklb]
the plan for incoming replies is to check if the content is a single emoji. If it is, store the array of info (including simple name and skin tone) as commentmeta.
#
[miklb]
then I would be able to get an array of all the simple names, and loop through each one for a facepile. Do a secondary loop for skin tone.
#
GWG
What keys?
#
[miklb]
I haven’t got that far. ?
#
[miklb]
Once I started thinking about what to do with existing comments, I got sidetracked.
#
GWG
I have been meaning to play with comment migration for new custom comment types for Semantic Linkbacks
#
[miklb]
I *think* there is a way to run comment update and set a flag, but I haven’t dug in far enough yet.
#
[miklb]
set a flag so it only has to be run once.
#
GWG
If the code is popular, would you want to merge it?
#
[miklb]
merge what? I mean, I’m always about merging just not sure where you would want to merge it into.
#
GWG
Semantic Linkbacks?
#
GWG
Webmentions?
#
GWG
What would it look like?

Either way, I’m going to get it working, then would look for assistance making it better and able to be a part of one of the existing plugins.
#
[miklb]
which code are you referring to?
#
[miklb]
what I’m looking to make in a nutshell is a way to create facepiles for single emoji responses.
#
GWG
Someone was converting likes to emojis for display also
#
GWG
What if you have a lot of different emoji responses?
#
[miklb]
I’ve been curious about the bridgy FB backfeed emoji. on FB a like is a :thumbsup: but Twitter it ❤ and FB has it’s own heart.
#
[miklb]
that’s certainly a possibility, but probably best solved in the theme. Maybe make a way to get all the single responses
#
GWG
That's a query
#
[miklb]
just mean provide a function of the query for themers to use.
#
[miklb]
same as the facepile functions in Semantic Linkbacks has now.
#
GWG
They need work. But the idea is that there is a default presentation for unsupported themes. And any theme can design a presentation from scratch or with the functions.
#
GWG
Allows different levels of theme development.
#
GWG
I have been working on the same for Simple Location and Syndication Links.
#
GWG
Allowing the range from just works to full theme control with helper functions
#
[miklb]
I may work back from theme control to just works
#
GWG
Good approach
#
GWG
I worked the other way

what is ransomware

Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "ransomware" yet. Would you like to create it?
