GWG: i'm at "The authorization server replied with me=https://tiny.xyz.dev/ but we were expecting https://scratch.io.dev/" but indieauth.com was able to get that response from wordpress
#
GWG
What site are you using?
#
aaronpk
tiny.xyz.dev is wordpress, scratch.io.dev is just static html
#
aaronpk
ah this won't work without more changes to the wordpress plugin
#
aaronpk
wordpress is always returning its own URL as the "me" param
#
aaronpk
the plugin will need to return the profile URL of the user that authenticated in order for this to work like he wants
#
aaronpk
oh wait i'm logged in as the other user
#
GWG
aaronpk: It returns the URL of the user. If they didn't set one, it returns the user's author post URL
#
aaronpk
so it does!
#
aaronpk
"Congrats! You've successfully authenticated as https://scratch.io.dev/"
#
aaronpk
works great
#
aaronpk
so that was a static HTML file on scratch.io.dev with the authorization endpoint set to wordpress
#
GWG
So, other than the cookie issue, what is the problem then?
#
aaronpk
I don't see a problem with the cookie
#
GWG
aaronpk: I fixed it.
#
aaronpk
as far as I can tell there is no problem. It works great
#
GWG
It should be current_time( ?, 1)
#
aaronpk
It wasn't a problem on my install
#
GWG
Well, I had a GMT problem)
#
GWG
If you set the timezone in WordPress, it creates a problem.
#
aaronpk
The key is to make a user account with the other external site you want to log in as
#
aaronpk
then make sure you are logged in as that user when doing the IndieAuth flow
#
GWG
Wonder if I should put that in the README
#
GWG
aaronpk: To the point from earlier, should a profile support multiple URL so you don't have to create multiple users?
#
aaronpk
That's a pretty unusual use case, I'm not sure
#
aaronpk
It will also require some new code in the plugin
#
aaronpk
which will have some implications we would need to think through
#
aaronpk
Ahhh there's a missing white space line

[Chris Aldrich] Today I updated the IndieAuth plugin for WordPress, and I can now use my own website as an IndieAuth authorization endpoint (including provisioning and revoking tokens) for a multitude of things including a huge number of micropub clients. Special th...
#
aaronpk
Can you fix for the next version?
#
aaronpk
That's gonna drive me crazy
#
GWG
aaronpk: I have a branch open.
#
GWG
What missing white space line?
#
GWG
Under update?
#
aaronpk
Yea above the buttons
#
GWG
I'll add a line break.
#
GWG
I also added error checking for a null endpoint
#
GWG
aaronpk: Didn't you work on something to allow someone to post to multiple sites with a a micropub endpoint?
#
aaronpk
Yea, the mp-destination stuff on the wiki
#
GWG
Wonder if that would cover

[pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] I don’t think I’m going to get around to using indiewp.com so you’re welcome to it if you’re still looking for a domain/twitter account for IW plugin updates
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
[chrisaldrich] [pfefferle] Do either of you have a feed for plug-in update posts you publish?
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle]
Not really... I thought about using twitter for that...
#
[pfefferle]
[miklb] what is the twitter handle?
#
aaronpk
that'd be great to have that site be posts about plugin releases!
#
[jgmac1106]
I bet [chrisaldrich] has one or @gwg tags all his posts indieweb I might add feed to my website just to help folks I know stay informed of updates
#
[pfefferle]
[aaronpk] have you read about 1password for teams is free for open source groups
#
aaronpk
yeah I saw, I was trying to figure out if we could use it for something
#
[pfefferle]
Perhaps we can use that for community sites/accounts
#
aaronpk
we don't have a ton, but we do seem to be adding more and more
#
[pfefferle]
even if there are only two, it’s easier than sharing passwords by mail ;)
#
aaronpk
indeed. want me to add you as the other owner on the 1password account? I can go set that up
#
[pfefferle]
At least as a community member, sure
#
aaronpk
(you have to have two owners on the account to apply for the free thing)
#
[pfefferle]
sure, no problem
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb]
hmm. Twitter website seems broken at the moment. Trying to figure out if I had the twitter handle setup or not.
#
[miklb]
I have the domain setup, I’d be happy to keep hosting to use for such and add anyone who wants to use it, just don’t see having time to do too much content creation in foreseeable future
#
[miklb]
no, I never set up a Twitter account for it.
#
[pfefferle]
[aaronpk] can you add a shared vault?
#
aaronpk
now we wait
#
sknebel
[xavierroy]: did you find what you needed to fix the problem?
#
aaronpk
[pfefferle]: just confirmed you, you should see the shared vault now
#
[pfefferle]
added WP.org account
#
aaronpk
i'm gonna be annoyed if we don't get accepted
#
[pfefferle]
this is not sure yet?
#
aaronpk
yeah i sent the PR and if they approve it then we get the free account
#
aaronpk
right now it's a 30 day trial
#
[pfefferle]
then I stop adding too much
#
aaronpk
if that doesn't work out, I guess I could install https://www.passbolt.com/

I just switched to a different WP theme and will test if the location icon still appears.

[miklb] do you want to invite me to the blog?
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb]
that works
#
[pfefferle]
I really think it is a nice idea to have a change-log for Wordpress Plugins
#
[miklb]
agreed. That was certainly part of the idea for it, then expand to other posts if it warranted. Tutorials, etc.
#
[miklb]
I need to update all of the plugins on the server. Everything is mostly installed from GitHub repos.
#
[pfefferle]
But is it ok for you to still host the blog?
#
[pfefferle]
It sounded a bit that you want to give it away...
#
[miklb]
yep. It’s a multisite install, SSL cert already set up. I can install anything else we need as well.
#
[miklb]
I’m offering either. Host and help where I can, or just hand over.
#
[pfefferle]
I would love to contribute
#
[pfefferle]
If you also share the twitter account login, we can also set it up to tweet the changes of the wordpress plugin
#
[miklb]
Let’s go that route then. I’ll send an admin invite, get the plugins updated and we can go from there. I’m sure GWG & [chrisaldrich] will jump in when they have time as well.
#
[miklb]
I haven’t created a twitter account for it yet. Can that be setup with the indieweb.org email or is that a bad idea? The one used for the WP.org repos
#
[miklb]
otherwise I can easily create a new one.
#
[pfefferle]
I think [chrisaldrich] wanted to share his
#
[pfefferle]
So we do Not Setup a new one...
#
[pfefferle]
I hope he found out about the login
#
[miklb]
want to DM me your email address [pfefferle]

Afternoon, what did I miss?
tantek and [miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb]
we’re going to try and get the IndieWP site going to announce updates, etc
#
GWG
How?
#
[miklb]
I have the site set up already, added pfefferle to it today. We’re going to check with [chrisaldrich] about the Twitter account he already has. From there, not sure the plan.
#
[miklb]
manual posts syndicated to the Twitter feed I assume.
#
[miklb]
I can add you if you’d like to post updates about your plugins.
#
[miklb]
even if they are reposts of something you blogged about
#
[miklb]
my idea was for it to be a community site anyway, not a solo project.
#
GWG
You can add me
#
[miklb]
don’t think I have an email address for you
#
GWG
A good test, like podcasting with chrisaldrich
#
GWG
Firstname@lastname.com
#
GWG
I realize every time I post a new episode of this podcast what I want to tweak.
#
[miklb]
email sent. Let me know if gets through, I had an issue with another site in the network and someone not getting one. But could have been PBCAK

It happens

[miklb]
that is strongly possible
#
[miklb]
nope, spelled correctly
#
GWG
Not yet
#
[miklb]
OK, I removed the signup from the db and manually added your user and resent the welcome email.
#
GWG
No such luck
#
[miklb]
I assume you checked spam folder
#
GWG
Yes
#
[miklb]
I emailed that address from my @miklb.com email. I’ll need to investigate why emails aren’t getting through. Wondering if server name and different site URL are causing to get caught in trap somewhere.
#
GWG
The private email just arrived
#
[miklb]
doh! I didn’t have mailgun configured on that site. Problem solved
#
[miklb]
I just resent the WP email, curious if that one gets picked up by mailgun.
#
GWG
It did
#
[miklb]
looks like it, came into my inbox
