jgmac1106 hey @gwg noticed the strikethrough puts a datetime stamp? Will that mess up h-entry? Just curious
#
sknebel only if it has microformats classes on it, and it probably hasn't?
#
GWG Noticed what?
#
jgmac1106 <del datetime="2018-06-01T11:13:42+00:00">Plagiarism</del> nvm
#
jgmac1106 I mixed up the datetime with the mf2
#
jgmac1106 ignore my clock issues

#
[Vanessa] Hmm, looks like Omnibear has had a token issued now, but I get “error authenticating to Micropub endpoint” when I try to post anything. Does it not work, or am I doing something wrong?

#
[keithjgrant] You can enable logging in omnibear if you're on the latest version and see if they provides any more information
#
[keithjgrant] Though it looks like that error happens if the micropuncture endpoint returns a 4xx http response

#
[jgmac1106] Vanessa just open another tab. Works for me then.... Until micropub... But that has nothing to do with OmniBear
#
[keithjgrant] Nice, autocorrect
#
[jgmac1106] [keithjgrant] same happens to me. Stuck on token page but then if I open new tab I am signed and can use it.
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] So it authenticates ok, but doesn't automatically close the auth page?
#
[keithjgrant] It you can create an issue and paste the logs from this, I'd be happy to take a look https://github.com/keithjgrant/omnibear/issues
#
[Vanessa] It doesn’t close the auth page, no, hangs on retrieving token, but my site shows one has been generated. Then when I fire it up it says it can’t authenticate the micropub endpoint. I’m just a user, I’m afraid, with very limited expertise, so don’t know where to find logs, or even how to use GitHub (I have an account, but nothing has happened on it!).
#
[Vanessa] Ah, just catching up on the conversation. So micropub itself doesn’t work then? OK, 😞 I never know whether it’s me or “the system”. As you say [jgmac1106] opening a new tab works fine on the Omnibear side.
#
[jgmac1106] No [Vanessa] it does not work for me on my main blog but I did get it working on an instance of another WordPress install set up exactly same way.
#
[jgmac1106] @gwg and [aaronpk] can probably provide better context but it is something with some WordPress blogs that use a specific header authentication with Apache but not all.
#
[jgmac1106] Yes and I was able to replicate error in both Chrome and FF. Will figure post issue and logs
#
[Vanessa] It’s very weird - and far beyond my level of understanding! I thought Apache was a Shadows’ hit! Shame, I like the idea of micropub, so was hoping to make use of it.
#
jgmac1106 [vanessa] you might be able to, do not equate what happens on my blog to what happens on yours
#
jgmac1106 I was able to micropub from one website and not the other and they were set up exactly the same way
#
jgmac1106 from my understanding the word apache refers to server software used by your shared hosting provider for softaer that is built on php (like wordpress) there is a special file called htaccess that micropub uses for authorization. For some reason some people get an error and others do not

[chrisaldrich] I'm on my way to a meeing, does anyone have resources to help David with his question? https://twitter.com/DavidWolfpaw/status/1002630753035935744 GWG, aaronpk perhaps?
#
@DavidWolfpaw @ChrisAldrich Do you know of any exports of test or demo micropub/webmention content that could be used for WordPress theme and plugin development? I don't have enough action yet on my live site to cover a variety of cases. (twitter.com/_/status/1002630753035935744)
#
aaronpk good idea
#
aaronpk I don't know of anything like that tho
#
sknebel there was a collection of webmention examples somewhere...
#
[chrisaldrich] Or perhaps snarfed, the king of unit tests, has something?

GWG Evening
#
GWG We need to release an IndieAuth update this weekend with fixes
#
jgmac1106 [chrisaldrich] [gwg] [aaronpk] the answer is everyone of of our blogs
#
GWG ?
#
jgmac1106 as a proof of concept and to compare. You need to hold your theme up to another theme. Really the first step has to be native microformats. Yes?
#
GWG I am missing context
#
tantek me too
#
jgmac1106 I read David’s post as he is looking for post he could import, or a developer preview to help in the development and testing of WordPress themes
#
jgmac1106 In moving between different themes and then trying themes developed by you folks the first major break point is microformats
#
jgmac1106 I don’t want to give wrong advice but focus on h-card on homepage (either hardcoded or using iwc plugin ) and set up the templates with h-entry
#
jgmac1106 in my neophyte experience that is first step
#
jgmac1106 then rel=me but I guess just gitHib for now?
#
jgmac1106 GitHub for now? Stupid ass Twitter. that severley limits audience if rel=me can only be from GitHub, though they could just use their WP account to sign into a micropub client so that is okay, but later in process.
#
aaronpk Twitter still works from indielogin.com so when I switch the wiki over to that it'll be back again

#
tantek jgmac1106: it sounds like you need tools to help validate, suggest fixes for, and otherwise maintain good microformats markup in WP Themes
#
jgmac1106 yeah but until then just comparing your post to the wiki page, a working theme, and how your post types work is a solution for folks who can’t build validation tools
#
jgmac1106 we recommended indiewebify.me I really want to work on a guide for theme mantainers but I will follow lead of the WP veterans in supporting them first.
#
tantek jgmac1106: indeed any hints at incremental tools would be good
#
jgmac1106 was working on it but my son wanted to work on his blog instead
#
jgmac1106 learnign about opacity and css now
#
tantek that sounds like a much more worthy pursuit :)
#
jgmac1106 This is where we ended up: http://dogzone.jgregorymcverry.com/
#
jgmac1106 [tantek] I wonder if this could cause confusion. The Getting started page on WordPress https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress not for theme developers but [gwg] I want really bring this page into agreement with the current plugins
