[stefp] Hello
tantek and [miklb] joined the channel
#
[stefp] Hi. I’m looking for a little help with the Post Kinds Wordpress plugin error. Is this a good place to start?
#
[stefp] *with a Post Kinds error
#
[stefp] Thanks. I’m getting Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array when used with check ins.

#
[stefp] 2.6.6
#
[stefp] Is it not supported yet then?
#
[stefp] through OwnYourSwarm
#
[stefp] Thanks anyway. I’ll wait for 2.7
#
[stefp] It works fine with other kinds.

#
[chrisaldrich] stefp I've been using it for checkins for a while with OwnYourCheckin, but it requires some mods to the code: http://boffosocko.com/kind/checkin/

#
[chrisaldrich] I'm sure you'll have a much better experience shortly when GWG pushes the updates to support things officially.

#
[stefp] Thanks Chris. I’ll just wait for the update then.
#
[stefp] And thanks GWG
#
[chrisaldrich] Though that isn't to say don't contribute if it's an interesting /itch for you!

#
[chrisaldrich] what is your site stefp?

#
[stefp] Well i don’t think I’m really savvy enough to do this stuff right now?
#
[chrisaldrich] You'd be amazed at what you can cobble together if you dig around a bit. I originally got checkins working for Post Kinds by uncommenting one line of code and doing a bit of manual work.

#
[chrisaldrich] GWG++ btw

#
[stefp] stephenpieper.net It’’s really just Wordpress and plugins right now and quite basic
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG is woefully under karma'd

#
[chrisaldrich] stefp Ah! I remember your site from a while back, I just didn't recognize your handle here.

#
[stefp] I’ve just lurked here a bit. Not sure where to join in ?
#
[chrisaldrich] What are you interested in doing on your site?

#
[chrisaldrich] (I don't think I documented the checkin stuff there, but this post on http://boffosocko.com/2017/08/11/post-kinds-plugin-for-wordpress/ may have some interesting material for you.)

#
[stefp] I like the Independent Publisher theme but I’d like to do more customisations for a start
#
[chrisaldrich] Anything in particular?

#
[chrisaldrich] Do you know any CSS?

#
[stefp] the format of posts I think
#
[stefp] Yes. I know the basics and can do some editing.
#
[chrisaldrich] Do you have a child theme on your site? https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Themes#Child_Themes

#
[chrisaldrich] That's probably the best way to test things out, even from a cowboy coding perspective in case you completely break something.

#
[stefp] I’m using a child theme
#
[stefp] I’ve made a few basic changes
#
[chrisaldrich] If you're interested in checkins, have you played at all with the Simple Location plugin?

#
[chrisaldrich] stefp It looks to me like you're roughly at this step in the getting started setup: https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started#Share_and_Join_Us

#
[stefp] I have and it does seem to play well with OwnYourSwarm
#
[stefp] that looks right
#
[chrisaldrich] If you're awake during the timeframe, you might want to dial into https://indieweb.org/2017/Berlin this weekend, which could be interesting for you.

#
[chrisaldrich] As a next step, you could also log into the wiki and make a user page if you haven't already.

#
[stefp] Thanks. I’m in the UK so timing should be ok. I might dip into that.
#
[chrisaldrich] Feel free to ask us anything you might need help with.... It took me almost a year to delve into the surface of things here and my (and many's) goal is to make things progressively easier.

#
[stefp] Thanks. I’ll try and join in a bit more here.
#
[chrisaldrich] What is Websub?

#
Loqi WebSub (previously known as PubSubHubbub or PuSH, and briefly PubSub) is a notification-based protocol for web publishing and subscribing to streams and legacy feed files in real time https://indieweb.org/WebSub

#
[chrisaldrich] What are Books about the IndieWeb?

#
Loqi Books about the IndieWeb lists books that reference the IndieWeb and related topics https://indieweb.org/Books_about_the_IndieWeb

#
[chrisaldrich] stefp I know something you can do that might help me. (Others are encouraged to chime in too). I'm writing a book about Indieweb and WordPress for NaNoWriMo and could use some help with a title: http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/20/indieweb-the-book/ Ideas for something short/pithy, possibly with a fun subtitle to get people interested in the topic would be appreciated.

#
[stefp] I saw that elsewhere. I will give it some thought.
#
[chrisaldrich] Thanks!

snarfed !tell pfefferle,GWG just fyi the remaining ones, https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/issues/116 and https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/issues/114 , aren't priorities for me personally right now, so i'm not planning to work on them in the near future
