#
[metbril] [aaronpk] I tried Aperture plugin but it fails. Probably because I registered to aperture manually the other day. I think I have 2 accounts (79 and 88) that interfere.
#
[metbril] When I login to Aperture I see 79, but 88 is advertised in the page meta.
#
[metbril] [aaronpk] I think this is the reason Monocle is throwing me a 403 error?

#
aaronpk [metbril]: ooh tricky. I will see what happened.
#
jgmac1106 [gwg] the audio post-kind is loading the audio file twice: http://jgregorymcverry.com/2toponder-episode-9-student-choice-and-just-right-teaching/
#
GWG jgmac1106: Did you embed it and put it in the URL box? If so, it would.
#
jgmac1106 no just used media embed not response properties
#
GWG In the next version, I have an idea about that.
#
jgmac1106 cool
#
GWG It's the same problem we had with photos. If you embed it in multiple places, sometimes it shows up that way. I'll fiddle with it.
#
GWG For photos, I wrote code to check for the shortcode and not try to autoembed if it found it
#
GWG jgmac1106: Would you be able to test the dev version of Micropub?
#
GWG I'm hoping to release it and want some beta usage first.
#
jgmac1106 on my sched today
#
GWG Thanks.
#
jgmac1106 github repo link? and is it tjhe media endpoint you want done the most?
#
GWG It's not urgent, but I want to put that to bed so I can look at something else for a while.
#
GWG jgmac1106: There were a lot of changes in the main endpoint as well.
#
GWG So, basically, create a post, with and without media.
#
GWG See if you have any issues with authorization with or without the IndieAuth plugin
#
jgmac1106 okay on it,
#
GWG Next up is Post Kinds
#
GWG I know people have a lot of things in that they are looking for me to do.

#
[metbril] [aaronpk] revoking indieauth tokens did not make a difference. When I sign in at Aperture service I see the subscriptions from 79. It's visible in the Get Started section of the dashboard. Monocle throws a 403 error for microsub/88.
#
aaronpk When I get back to my computer I'll look at the database. I need to find out why you have two acccounts. I'm guessing it has something to do with the /profile/username path that wordpress uses for people.
#
[metbril] Ok. Please @ mention me when you have more info.

#
MetBril Is it possible/necessary/required to link my Slack and IRC personas?
#
jeremycherfas Many people find that being on Slack and IRC at the same time creates difficulties.
#
MetBril I am trying both, but can't see any advantage in Slack. The GUI is nicer, but an IRC client is working faster.
#
aaronpk Personal preference really
#
MetBril I'm currently using the webchat, but am trying (without success yet) to login to Mutter for iOS.
#
aaronpk Most people find slack better for mobile
#
MetBril This should actually be in #indieweb channel, but how does IRC vs Slack relate to a nick at https://indieweb.org/chat-names
#
aaronpk It treats them the same from both, it isn't really an "account" or anything
#
aaronpk As long as you have the same nickname in both you'll appear the same in the logs
#
MetBril OK. Thats fine with me.
[tantek] and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
aaronpk aha yep that's what i thought...
#
aaronpk the aperture account created by the plugin is https://robertvanbregt.nl/wp/
#
aaronpk if you enter that in monocle when you sign in it should work
#
aaronpk the question for GWG is why did wordpress think that is the URL for the user?
#
MetBril WordPress isn't installed in the root.
#
aaronpk aha
#
aaronpk that explains it then
#
MetBril It's installed in /wp, but served from /
#
MetBril You have 2 values in the settings.
#
MetBril https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen
#
aaronpk so site_url() is returning the installed path apparently
#
MetBril I guess
#
MetBril My wordpress url is https://robertvanbregt.nl/wp
#
MetBril the site url for me is https://robertvanbregt.nl
#
MetBril Thats copy/paste from the settigns
#
aaronpk Weird, the function apparently returned the one with the path

#
[kimberlyhirsh] Good morning, IndieWeb! Is there a good plug-in that would let me bulk edit posts to assign post kinds the same way I can do categories? I've not been successful finding one that will do what I want. Specifically, I have several tweets I imported using Designwrks Twitter Importer that I marked as notes that I want to switch to replies.
#
MetBril Well, site_url() returns what the docs say: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/site_url/
#
MetBril Perhaps you need home_url()
#
MetBril https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/home_url/
#
MetBril home_url: "Retrieves the URL for the current site where the front end is accessible."
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
petermolnar [kimberlyhirsh]: that sounds like an SQL query
#
aaronpk What I really need is the same url that the IndieAuth plugin uses
#
MetBril https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/search?q=home_url&unscoped_q=home_url
#
[kimberlyhirsh] @petermolnar Comme ca? https://wpsites.net/wordpress-admin/use-sql-query-in-phpmyadmin-to-change-custom-post-types/
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Wait no. I didn't read that carefully. I don't think that's what I want at all.
#
MetBril https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/search?q=site_url&unscoped_q=site_url
#
MetBril Looking at the search results, my guess is `home_url`
#
jgmac1106 [kimberlyhirsh] you have to remember post kinds use taxonomies and archives not post types
#
petermolnar ooh
#
petermolnar that's different
#
jgmac1106 but yeah I think it might be something at the database level…and by the time you find, learn and deploy “manual till it hurts” might just be faster
#
MetBril aaronpk: Logging into Monocle with https://robertvanbregt.nl/me lets me login, but that throws a 401

#
MetBril aaronpk: That should be https://robertvanbregt.nl/wp (typo)
#
MetBril What is loqi doing with my site?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "loqi doing with my site" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "loqi doing with my site is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk That /wp url redirects to a post apparently
#
aaronpk well if you want to change site_url to home_url in the aperture plugin to test I'd appreciate it.
#
MetBril Yes, it does link to a post. Some weird redirection, i guess.
#
aaronpk I'm gonna be on a plane for the next six hours but I can publish a plugin update after I land if that fixes it
#
[kimberlyhirsh] [jgmac1106] Yeah, I had been planning to manual until it hurts, but just thought I'd check before digging in.
#
MetBril If you provide me with a zip (or link to download from github) I will replace the official one with your dev version.
#
MetBril Not sure how you can ping me best. If you have slack, send me a DM. Or DM me on Twitter.
#
MetBril Only read your post now. I will change the code myself and test.
#
MetBril And then ping you.
#
aaronpk Not on computer right now sorry. Just need to change the one line
#
MetBril Will do.
#
aaronpk 👍

jeremycherfas !tell [kimberlyhirsh] I use Admin Columns Pro, but I think you need to pay up for inline editing.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[metbril] [aaronpk] Replacing `site_url` with `home_url` in the Aperture plugin solved the issue. My site is now advertising my `/79` subscription and I can login to Monocle perfectly. So far so good.
#
[metbril] You can delete the `/88` subscription with Aperture.

#
[metbril] @GWG The Micropub plugin seems to use site_url. It exposes my install directory in the link. This looks ugly but more important is bad OPSEC since my install dir is an attack vector.

GWG Let me look through the code
icasdri25 and [eddie] joined the channel
#
GWG !tell [metbril] It isn't in the Micropub endpoint. It is in the IndieAuth endpoint.

Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
GWG jackjamieson, how goes the work?
#
jackjamieson GWG, it's going quite well, thanks!
#
jackjamieson Some minor parsing issues to work on, but not too many
#
jackjamieson Other than that I've just got to add support for actions like reordering channels, removing feed items, and maybe a couple others
#
jackjamieson Hope your work is going well, too! Seems like you made some good progress with the micropub plugin
#
GWG I will fix your issues
#
jackjamieson I'm mostly using parse-mf2 from the post kinds plugin, but have made a few minor changes. Dinner time here, so I should actually get offline, but if you have time to chat about the parser sometime in the next few days that'd be great
#
GWG When is good?
#
Loqi what
#
jackjamieson Tomorrow and Friday my schedule is pretty flexible from about 10-6 Eastern Time
#
jackjamieson Got to run now but if you send me a message I'll try to reply right away
#
GWG 10-12 is good
#
GWG Excuse me, got the timezones off
#
GWG Between 5 and 6
#
GWG No, wrong again
#
GWG Timezones, feh
#
GWG Let me think

#
GWG Let me try this again
#
GWG 10-6 on Thursday and Friday is 10PM-6AM on Thursday and Friday.
#
GWG I will definitely be around for the latter one.

GWG Friday night which is his Friday morning
