devsl Hi :)
#
devsl I got all of the plugins, but can’t find any settings, except for maybe Bridgy
#
devsl Any tips?
#
devsl I installed IndieWeb, Webmention, Semantic Callbacks, Syndication Links, Micropub and Bridgy Publish
#
devsl I want to set up Webmention and Micropub for my site, so I can use it with Micro.blog, but can’t figure out what to do exactly
#
devsl This is the site: slsrepo.com
#
devsl Micro.blog posts are on slsrepo.com/category/micro-blog-posts
#
devsl how do I know what is my Micropub token?
#
devsl My Micro.blog is linked to my WordPress, so new posts on WordPress show up on Micro.blog
#
devsl It’s pulling the posts from WordPress with my RSS/JSON Feed
#
devsl But to post from a third party app I need my Micropub token
#
devsl Micron for Micro.blog
#
devsl chrislopez.micro.blog/micron/
#
devsl You should definitely sign up for Micro.blog, It’s a great service with a really nice (but currently small) community and it’s very open.
#
devsl I can send you a screenshot of the app, since it’s currently in beta
#
devsl the Micron app, that is
#
devsl if I want to publish to a site other than a hosted micro.blog, I need a URL and Micropub token for that
#
Loqi gimme a token is a helper to obtain a an access token from your IndieAuth endpoint: https://gimme-a-token.5eb.nl/ https://indieweb.org/gimme_a_token

#
devsl I can suggest that for him - he is very fast at fixing bugs/implementing new features
#
devsl It’s completely free for WordPress/Tumblr/Movable Type/Any other site that outputs RSS/JSON feeds
#
devsl I think I confused you a bit
#
devsl Micro.blog itself doesn’t need the token, it fetches it for you
#
devsl you just need a feed to add posts to the site without a hosted micro.blog
#
devsl but that Micron app I’m beta testing asks for a token
#
devsl What do I fill in the Auth field of Gimme a token?
#
devsl no idea :P
#
devsl the tokens in the account settings of micro.blog is just application passwords
#
devsl the tokens in the account settings of micro.blog is just application passwords
#
devsl since micro.blog doesn’t use password for user login, when you want to use a third party app you need an app password
#
devsl I need a token generated for my WordPress site
#
devsl I need a token generated for my WordPress site
#
devsl why are my posts sent twice?
#
devsl my messages, not posts
#
devsl seems like it’s fixed
#
devsl sure
#
devsl suggest away
#
GWG There's a reference Micropub client at http://quill.p3k.io/ - Give it a shot quickly to see how the server part works for you. It does the token hunt seamlessly, and is a good comparison
#
devsl btw, I tried gimme a token, the page at IndieAuth says micro.blog can’t be used for auth
#
devsl Just tried quill
#
devsl It won’t create the post - it says 401
#
devsl I did get the token generated from gimme a token
#
devsl I need to use the access token part?
#
devsl yep
#
devsl oh I see the problem
#
devsl oh I see the problem
#
devsl I used http://slsrepo.com and my site is https://slsrepo.com
#
devsl yeah, I redirect the http to https
#
devsl and wordpress is on the https
#
devsl I use the rel=me link to twitter as http though
#
devsl I found your profile on Micro.blog, I see you are jewish :)
#
devsl I found your profile on Micro.blog, I see you are jewish :)
#
devsl I am too :)
#
devsl I am too :)
#
devsl Yeah it imported a lot of things :)

#
devsl I’m gonna try the webmentions after I finish the Micropub :)
#
devsl So, with the token I got from gimme-a-token
#
devsl I need just the access token part? or the whole thing?
#
devsl me=http%3A%2F%2Fslsrepo.com%2F&scope=create+update&access_token=alotoflettersandnumbers
#
devsl this is what I got
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
devsl so, Micron doesn’t support pasting that access token, I need to manually type it in >.<

#
devsl About Webmentions, I replied to my test post, but I don’t see anything - do I need to configure bridge?
#
devsl bridgy
#
devsl Haven’t written the entire token in yet, so don’t know if it works
#
devsl On Micro.blog
#
devsl You can see it on my profile - Micro.blog/devsl
#
devsl and on the website, https://slsrepo.com/micro-blog-posts/68806
#
devsl the post on the site is the first post
#
devsl I see it doesn’t show up on the website
#
devsl It shows up on the apps, not on the Micro.blog website
#
devsl wait
#
devsl nope, don’t see it
#
devsl I think it does, but can’t see where to get it
#
devsl also, followup on micropub, Micron didn’t work with it, said the details are invalid
#
devsl I guess the issue is the same as it was with Quill
#
devsl how should I fix it?
#
devsl you mean on twitter?
#
devsl on my WordPress profile it shows up
#
devsl on my WordPress profile it shows up
#
devsl followup on web mention - I got them!
#

#

#

tantek joined the channel
#
devsl great, so the webmentions are working :)
#
devsl Now, about micropub, what did say about the wordpress profile?
#
devsl I have twitter showing up there
#
devsl yes, my website is the url with the https
#
devsl on the profile, the website address is the site address with https
#
devsl what’s next?
tantek and gRegorLove joined the channel
#
devsl cool, so, Quill worked
#
devsl but Micron still claims it’s invalid.
#
devsl I’ll handle that with the developer :)
#
devsl I’ll let him know - and request to make the app make the whole token generation :)
#
devsl so, what do I need more?
#
devsl can you explain to me what each plugin does exactly?
#
devsl now that I got Micropub and Webmentions working (and by the looks of it, IndieAuth is working too), what other things do I need to make my site fully IndieWeb compatible?
#
devsl What each plugin does?
#
devsl What each plugin does?
#
devsl Webmentions and Micropub, covered
#
devsl Syndication Links, Semantic Callbacks? Bridgy Publish?
#
devsl like the OwnYourGram site?
#
devsl Import instagram posts to my site?
#
devsl so the Publish plugin is for cross-posting? similar to JetPack Publicize?
drkokandy joined the channel
#
devsl I saw the site
#
devsl ok
#
devsl How is Bridgy different than Webmentions if it imports my likes/replies?
#
devsl oh ok
#
devsl got it :)
#
devsl what are Post Kinds, Microformats2, Simple Location?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Post Kinds, Microformats2, Simple Location" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Post Kinds, Microformats2, Simple Location is ____", a sentence describing the term)

#
devsl What are Microformats? those h-entry, h-card things?
#
Loqi microformats are extensions to HTML for marking up people, organizations, events, locations, blog posts, products, reviews, resumes, recipes etc https://indieweb.org/microformats

#
devsl So, I can add it to the theme without handling with the theme code? my theme is a mess :P
#
devsl I’m just lazy when it comes to working on it
#
devsl I mostly work on my iOS apps
#
devsl So, I should write that support in my theme :)
#
devsl In what ways can you help with that?
#
devsl ah ok
#
devsl my theme isn’t open source though
#
devsl If you want, I can send you the code
#
devsl where/how to send it?
#
devsl do you have dropbox? I can set up a shared folder
#
devsl what would be the best way to send it to you?
#
devsl Oh ok
#
devsl What is the email I should send it to?
#
devsl shared folder or zip file?
#
devsl what do you prefer?
#
devsl Sent
#
devsl Did you get it?
#
devsl yes it is :P
#
devsl I’m a night owl, occasionally
#
devsl Well, not really, but if we can keep it, cool, if not, well, fine
#
devsl It was made back, around 6 years ago
#
devsl As I told you
#
devsl I really need to clean it up

#
devsl and my PHP Version on the server is 7.1.7
#
devsl if you can clean it up, remove all the “gconverter” mentions etc, would be great
#
devsl if you can clean it up, remove all the “gconverter” mentions etc, would be great
#
devsl It was a huge mistake
#
devsl I really like my theme and it works great for me too, I just wanna clean up the code so It would be less of an headache to edit - and maybe make the site faster
#
devsl that gconverter thing, I originally used the them on Drupal and didn’t have a lot of time to rewrite the theme when I moved the site to WordPress, so I used this “gconverter” conversion service - which worked but the code is not covered in this
#
devsl *theme instead of them
#
devsl I’m willing to pay :)
#
devsl but alright
#
devsl but alright
#
devsl if you can just add the microformats, it would be great
#
devsl I need to set some time aside and rewrite the theme to also support these micro.blog posts better
#
devsl I totally get you, I’m a developer too
#
devsl I totally get you, I’m a developer too
#
devsl It’s just that it’s a massive thing, so, don’t wanna take your time off other projects with no gain
#
devsl oh nice
#
devsl I make apps that I want to use, then I just continue to modify it to fill the needs of users who liked it :)
#
devsl I’m doing iOS apps mainly
#
devsl for example, I made my browser app, Browsy, just so I can have an easy to use, nice for reading and writing browser
#
devsl but then people used it for “kiosk modes”, for presentations, for museum exhibits, etc, so I added some features to it
#
devsl yeah I heard
#
devsl yeah I heard
#
devsl I heard it was -40 celsius yesterday on the US, with at least 19 casualties
#
devsl I heard it was -40 celsius yesterday on the US, with at least 19 casualties
#
devsl sounds insane and scary - weather here is casual, never to high, never to low
#
devsl it’s 9 degrees here
#
devsl not to high, not to low, It’s around 4-40 celsius
#
devsl not to high, not to low, It’s around 4-40 celsius

#
devsl oh :)
#
devsl I’m currently also working on a text editor and file previewer
#
devsl I made a weather web app a few years ago
#
devsl maybe some of it’s code could be of use to your weather work
#
devsl slsrepo.com/sosweather
#
devsl It’s in Python
#
devsl the source code is on my site, on the Products page
#
devsl supports english and hebrew

#
devsl what browser are you using?
#
devsl what browser are you using?
#
devsl does it support asking your location?
#
devsl oh wierd
#
devsl weird
#
devsl the first page is intentionally blank, it asks for your location services then forwards you to the weather page according to the coordinates it picked up
#
devsl if it’s still blank it failed to pick it up
#
devsl Works fine for me in Safari and Chrome
#
devsl Don’t have Firefox handy
