[miklb] no, if I do a repost or like via micropub and it is a Twitter URL, syndicate via bridgy
#
GWG Okay, so only if it is a silo.
#
[miklb] well, Micropub clients don’t have mechanisms for syndicating likes and reposts. So I would also want to add support for GitHub likes
#
GWG No, but the endpoint can.
#
[miklb] I don’t know what you mean by that
#
GWG [miklb]: What you were suggesting. You can hook into the 'after_micropub' action and trigger syndication in theory
#
[miklb] right. I hadn’t implemented that yet because I didn’t actually have a way to use it. We had talked before and you said you might be making some changes in how bridgy publish & syndication links work so I was going to wait to see what changed. Now I’m just going to hack it in and adapt as the plugin changes.

#
GWG [miklb]: I can show you what I'm doing if you want.
#
GWG Push the branch to Github.
#
[miklb] nah, it’s all good. I’m better at hacking stuff in anyway for now at least. Now that stuff is working together I’m hesitant to use any dev branches anywhere.
#
[miklb] thank you though
#
GWG Not use, just see what I have plans
#
[miklb] understood. Sure, that might help me shape the the hack
#

#
[miklb] cool
#
GWG It is still rough
#
GWG I've put it on hold and tried to tackle something easier
#
GWG Rewriting the Micropub plugin
#
[miklb] lol easier
#
GWG Rewriting it to use built-in WordPress core functions over custom built ones was easy.
#
GWG Getting the unit tests to work is hard
#
[miklb] I’ve not found a tutorial or article that has given me the “a-ha” moment with unit tests. In theory I understand them, but how to get started writing them is a big nope.
#
GWG [miklb]: This is the other project, still being worked on https://github.com/dshanske/wordpress-micropub/tree/restapi
#
GWG [miklb]: It works, but still needs a lot more work.

#
[miklb] hmm. Looks like I have some broken kind templates. Must fix
#
[miklb] my photo template. Probably not something I’ve used since some of the changes.
#
GWG Which?
#
[miklb] my kind_photo template.

jgmac1106_ [gwg] I noticed a new page doesn’t have an h-entry in 2016 IndieWeb will that mess up trying to send a webmention from https://jgregorymcverry.com/4059-2/ here to https://jgregorymcverry.com/to-do-list/

#
GWG H-entry is for date based content
[manton] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] yeah, may just manually date base the page, or just turn the page into the post so I can send webmentions to my to-do page, but would like an h-entry on each page in WP, even if it is a single published date

#
GWG jgmac1106, I don't understand your use case
#
GWG You can send webmentions from a page. There is a setting for that in webmentions as WordPress turns it off by default
[jgarber] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Yes, my generic webmentions is my about me page. Just suggesting every page in theme be wrapped in h-entry with a minimum of date published included
#
GWG But why
#
GWG I am not criticizing, just trying to understand
#
GWG I am probably going to do it

#
[cjwillcock] when I write about the art, that would be datestamped and h-entry
#
[cjwillcock] hi guys, I was just thinking about this h-entry for a page discussion. There doesn't seem to be a microformat that applies to some original expression, like a piece of art for example
#
[cjwillcock] but what about the page that itself features the art (or whatever expression it is)
#
[cjwillcock] I presume the purpose of the microformats for a page like that would be to enable others to more easily reply/like/comment, the expression itself rather than the post about it
#
[cjwillcock] whoops, took wordpress straight into microformats - don't mind me 🙂
#
aaronpk as with any microformats, the question is what is the consuming use case. otherwise don't bother with adding microformats yet
