[xavierroy]
are there any themes that take advantage of the Post Kinds plugin?
#
GWG
[xavierroy]: Advantage in what way?
#
[xavierroy]
The theme would display any checkins or phot posts differently
#
GWG
Not specifically, but I know some people are working on it
#
GWG
How would you want it to look?
#
[xavierroy]
Something like "display a map for a checkin"
#
[xavierroy]
Anyway I just removed my site for a clean reinstall of WP
#
GWG
xavierroy, install Simple Location and you'll get a map
#
[xavierroy]
Yes, I have that. I'm also using Beau Leben's People and Places plugin for Keyring to pull in checkin's from Swarm

Thanks chrisaldrich. Will have a look. Also, had an itch and changed my theme to Independent Publisher to resolve some of my H problems ? Still trying to work out how to add categories etc to the h-card of posts?

[miklb]: Post Kinds 2.7.0 is out.
#
GWG
I am already prepping for 2.7.1
#
GWG
I found a bunch of little things so far
#
[miklb]
I’ll check to see if I’m getting that error still
#
GWG
Are you?
#
[miklb]
just settling in to test.
#
[miklb]
GWG still getting error, on latest of all plugins and master of post-kinds
#
GWG
Can you open an issue?
#
GWG
With as much detail as you can muster?
#
[miklb]
I’m also seeing that if I use the retrieve to grab details of a url and then save draft, the details are not stored.
#
GWG
I didn't change anything there
#
GWG
I'll try to reproduce
#
GWG
My goal is for 2.7.1 to go out this weekend with any fixes I can muster
#
[miklb]
getting a lot of notices just opening a new post eg ` Notice: Undefined index: content in /Users/miklb/Dev/miklb.dev/wp-content/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/includes/class-link-preview.php on line 68`

[miklb] #119 Errors with Post Properties Meta Box
#
GWG
I will look at it.
#
GWG
Stay tuned
#
GWG
[miklb]: Was your draft set to note, or a different kind?
#
GWG
I see the errors. Will be working on them
#
[miklb]
note is my default for a new post and I didn’t change it in my testing. It’s a bookmark on the post that gives me the fatal error
#
GWG
If you set it to post, it will no longer save url properties as notes don't have them. It should save duration properties.
#
GWG
I think I fixed the bookmark issue, but I am going to investigate all.
#
GWG
And aaronpk identified a check-in markup issue
#
[miklb]
wait, what?
#
[miklb]
notes won’t save url properties?
#
GWG
Should they?
#
GWG
Is there a use case for that?
#
[miklb]
I guess not, just needs to be documented I guess. It’s a changing behavior for sure.
#
GWG
It used to save it, but there was never anything done with it.
#
GWG
It may be that I use JS to hide the box if note is selected
#
sknebel
quickly creating a draft without changing the type to the final one sounds like a potential use case?
#
GWG
But the storage configuration now depends on that setting
#
[miklb]
then I definitely agree hiding the post properties meta box if it won’t store the data is appropriate
#
[miklb]
granted, I haven’t read any release notes, but would have never thought that was a feature and not a bug
#
[miklb]
not storing the retrieved data that is.
#
GWG
It was a bug fix, technically.
#
GWG
But point taken
#
[miklb]
ah. likewise, point taken
#
GWG
Seeing any positives?
#
GWG
This was not a feature release
#
GWG
It was an infrastructure one mostly.
#
[miklb]
checkins is a feature, even if just for supporting OYS
#
[miklb]
I’m not able to test on my live site, but I’m going to try and pull the trigger on making my switch today. I’m going to dogfood the theme I’m working on with the new personal domain, so hope to make a lot of progress on all fronts.
#
GWG
Okay.
#
GWG
Keep me posted
#
[miklb]
I anticipate a lot of broken stuff on my end for a few weeks, but that’s really only how I’m going to make progress.
#
GWG
I really need to learn some more javascript
#
[miklb]
right after I say that, is usually when I most want a cocktail ?

Hiding elements is easy enough
