[unoabraham] @GWG - Heads up, started using the Post Kinds plugin on my site. I'll probably be hitting you up with a ton of questions.

# 
[chrisaldrich] [unoabraham] I've documented some details about the plugin here: http://boffosocko.com/2017/08/11/post-kinds-plugin-for-wordpress/ if you're interested in some of the hidden pieces.
# [unoabraham] [chrisaldrich] Awesome. The WordPress documentation is rather limited especially in relation to the IndieWeb. Many thanks.

[mrkrndvs] [chrisaldrich]++ for great walkthrough. Just when I thought you knew what I was talking avout, Chris shares a few things I seem to have overlooked

# [Vanessa] That's great. Really helped me to understand the scope and usefulness of Post Kinds. Another thing to add to my list of "stuff to play with".

# 
[jgmac1106] can anyone point me to the post-kind WordPress plug-in. Found a bunch of forks? [aaronpk] I won't be able to but after last nights talk I have this idea of could we have a "credential" post-kind

# chrisaldrich [mrkrndvs] I'm curious which parts you hadn't seen/heard about? May give me ideas of what to delve into next....
# 
tantek sknebel: is that linked from /WordPress/Plugins ?
# 
Loqi WordPress Plugins are plugins that can help make your site more IndieWeb friendly https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Plugins
# chrisaldrich [jgmac1106] I don't think the github master is usually ahead of the curve for the Post Kinds Plugin, but the official WP version is at https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/
# tantek [jgmac1106]'s question is a good one, and the right answer is to update /WordPress/Plugins so it links to the definitive / right one to install

# [jgmac1106] [chrisaldrich] I never knew WP kept a different code directory. I need to play with it I couldn't even find a donwload button, but yeah I agree with [tantek] need a wiki page with all the current repos. Searching GitHub is hard
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
# [chrisaldrich] [jgmac1106] If you look at most of the /WordPress pages they've got a template on them with most (all?) of the big plugins listed on the
{{WordPress}} template.# [jgmac1106] looks like I could download each file an assest as once, but is there a zip. Take me long time to figure things out but just want to stare at it until I see the text structure
# [chrisaldrich] Links out to them typically have an official WP repo location as well as a github dev location if one exists
# [chrisaldrich] GitHub will give you Zip files. You can also download them directly via the Plugin page within your WP admin UI
# [chrisaldrich] If you go to your site and the path /wp-admin/plugins.php you'll see a button at the top labeled "Add New" which will let you search for and download directly without needing a zip file, command line, or ftp.

# [jgmac1106] thx [chrisaldrich] of course I can download them from my plugins
# [chrisaldrich] I'm pretty sure all the IW WP plugins have links directly to their canonical versions within their definitions via links on the defined plugin.
# [jgmac1106] like I said I won't be able to figure out how it works but I want to try and draw the model
# www.boffosocko.com edited /Wordpress_Webmention_Plugin (+208) "make definition link to the official WP repo; recommend the Semantic Linkbacks plugin in conjunction" (view diff)

# [chrisaldrich] GWG, when you get a chance, it looks like the /Wordpress_IndieAuth_Plugin page could use a hint of love after your recent update.

# jgmac1106_ [chrisaldrich] any posts in your archive on creating a filter so only post-kind “article” shows up.
# jgmac1106_ [gwg] yeah, today was last day of classes so I have a few days to play. While I think Known as my micrpub engine will be where I end but I want to give the [chrisaldrich] [gwg] approach the college try
# jgmac1106_ as I was saying earlier I am going to take my “Post” page and rename it Firehouse and remove from top navigation. Then I want to make a new page and have icons for each post-kind like you and Chris can do at top. In a perfect world I will also be able to add a feed of /kind/article that displays the featured image and a snippet
# jgmac1106_ but I could also just make an article link
# jgmac1106_ [gwg] it is flexible. I peaked under the hood at [chrisaldrich] and your page and I believe it will be possible. Just need to figure out if I need to add something like feedburner to make it happen
# jgmac1106_ yeah that was what I was going to do. Create a feed for each post kind and put those on a page with icons. Better idea?
# jgmac1106_ trying to do what Chris does on top of his site: http://boffosocko.com/
# jgmac1106_ [gwg] interesting idea, sorry broke from the conversation as I had this thought from a convo last about disruption. Had to write it real fast
# jgmac1106_ [gwg] will play this week just to learn. Between past posts you and Chris wrote I should be able to give it a go
# [jgmac1106] [tantek] I have a static homepage and every post gets published to a page. Trying to WordPress not to publish everything on that page (with a Grey box for missing featured image) isn't something I have solved yet. Figured just hiding that page as "firehouse" would work. But @gwg idea of a ul of post kind feeds might work as well
