#
[miklb] well, you got a giant heap of Gutenberg
#
GWG Yup
#
GWG What do you think?
#
[miklb] I think that it is necessary. My experience volunteering with during the hurricane and using a proprietary CMS that was very slick for editing on the front end was hugely popular with the content producers…until you wanted to make more than very concise text boxes. Something that is slightly more modular but gives you even more of a WYSIWYG than what WordPress currently provides
#
GWG I just don't know how blocks will work with everything we've built
#
[miklb] we’ll adapt. We have time. Some stuff might not make sense in a block and stay a meta box.
#
[miklb] I really want my vaporware theme to fully support the customizer eventually. I really want it to be accessible to a gen3 user.
#
GWG I also am reluctant to learn more JS than I know now
#
[miklb] which is why I’m still spending more time researching and thinking things through and writing code. But I’m very close to start the code portions.
#
[miklb] we’ll recruit more developers then. I can get my way around JS if I have to. I just avoid having to 🙂
#
GWG I can learn
#
GWG I am also looking toward WordPress as a platform
#
GWG So, if Gutenberg won't be my editor, Quill might be
#
[miklb] I suspect for a lot of what we want to do, we’ll be able to just adapt existing code examples.
#
[miklb] yes, I believe expanding micropub support is important as well.
#
GWG I think I may write about what my plans are in a post.
#
[miklb] It would be nice for you, snarfed and pfefferle to eventually get some higher level roadmaps and some agreements on the goals. Would also allow give others an opportunity to see clearly where they could contribute to new features.
#
GWG Individual Itch based doesn't always lead to a clear path.
#
GWG For example, snarfed, pfefferle, and I all have wanted to cache avatars for a while, but none of us have done it.
#
GWG It's an open issue though
#
[miklb] open in which plugin repo
#
GWG Semantic Linkbacks
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb] still getting that error `Only variables can be passed by reference: indieweb-post-kinds/includes/tabs/tab-author.php on line 13` afaik I’m on master of all the IW plugins
#
[miklb] hmm, no, just pulled in some new changes
#
[miklb] yeah, still getting that error plus the `Illegal string offset 'name /indieweb-post-kinds/includes/tabs/tab-author.php on line 13`
#
GWG So, the 'ifset' function isn't working for you. Interesting
#
GWG Let me try something
#
[miklb] this is happening after I manually try to set the Author/Artist Name field and save the post, either published or draft
#
GWG I think I figured it out.
#
[miklb] I can manually apply a change if you want me to test something
#
GWG Author Name is being stored as a string
#
GWG So, the problem is in mf2_post.
#
GWG If the author is only a name. it returns it as a string. If the author is multiple properties, it returns it as an array.
#
GWG Back to the nested array vs flat issue.
#
GWG I think I found the problem in the code.
#
GWG It was collapsing single value arrays into single values.
#
GWG But it was only supposed to do that for numeric arrays, not associative
#
GWG Try it now?
#
[miklb] 👍
#
[miklb] closed the open issue with that commit hash
#
GWG I knew that major storage change would have some issues.
#
[miklb] thanks for looking at that bug again. I can take my live site to the latest version now.

raretrack Hi all, just doing some test posts on my test WP instance: currently checking a checkin. Can anyone advise how I can fix the missing icon under "I'm at the station" at https://testblog.raretrack.uk/test/test-check-in/ ? Thanks.

#
[miklb] looks like the API key is bad?
#
raretrack ah thanks, I had installed enabled the "Post Kinds" plugin, didn't even realise I needed an API key. will see if I can work out how to get one and where to put it.
#
[miklb] I’m just going by the 401 errors I see in the console for mapbox so might want to check in settings to make sure you didn’t accidentally put something in the field
#
[miklb] you have simple location also?
#
[miklb] that’s where the mapbox api key field is
#
raretrack aha that's it michael. i have found the setting for the API field in the simple location plugin now.
#
[miklb] the plugin should work without a key, just limited you to certain map designs. If you add a key it allows you to pick other custom map designs. If that’s not the case, let me know and I’ll revisit the code.
#
raretrack Loaded a key before I saw your post - all working fine now with map showing. Many thanks.

#
GWG Maybe I should consider moving the Simple Location settings to their own settings page.
#
GWG They are sort of hiding now
