guten morgen, brr, that's sounds too similar to gutenberg
#
GWG
As much as I do not want to deal with Gutenberg, I would rather talk about things we are or can be doing
#
GWG
Like elevation, something you implemented
#
GWG
I am thinking of adding elevation API support in my location plugin
#
petermolnar
elevation is tricky
#
petermolnar
how can you tell is your gps elevation data is bogus?
#
petermolnar
normally negative is most probably bogus, unless you live in the Netherlands
#
petermolnar
values above commercial airplane levels are bogus, unless you're with the military or a regular visitor at the ISS
#
petermolnar
but all the rest... it's very hard to find which needs a lookup, which has already done a lookup, and which is fine
#
petermolnar
and then there's 0 - unless your data has 0 and NULL, 0 can be both
#
petermolnar
but yes, elevation is an interesting data and quite useful

[jgmac1106]
Alot of the GPS apps on my phone do well with elevation when I compare to my topographical maps... But that isn't way up

#
[kevinmarks]
how about in tall buildings?
#
[jgmac1106]
Never tried. And I don't know if it is just calculating climbs or just knows elevation from top maps or other user data

I live in town with one stop light. Tall buildings hard to find

I'm curious if folks have experience with integrating wordpress with ostatus/fediverse
[cleverdevil] and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
[asteres] pfefferle has he plugins in the wp.org repo
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is bridgy fed?
#
Loqi
Bridgy Fed connects IndieWeb sites with federated social networks like Mastodon and Hubzilla https://indieweb.org/Bridgy_Fed
#
[chrisaldrich]
And there is that ^^
#
[asteres]
oh nice, I saw the ostatus plugin but didn't know about the bridgy thing
#
[chrisaldrich]
They're two different and separate pieces though as I recall.
#
[chrisaldrich]
They'll give you some of the functionality, but not all yet, so decide what it is that you'd like to have.

ostatus plugin is great. Lets you become discoverable in fediverse from WP blog 🙂

Is Sempress still the most out-of-the-box indieweb-compatible WP theme?
[frank] and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle]
You can also try ZenPress
#
[pfefferle]
I think SemPress is the most compatible WP theme in the official repo...
#
doubleloop
oh thanks [pfefferle], ZenPress looks really nice
#
doubleloop
I think I'll stick with SemPress as it's closest to my current theme
#
doubleloop
My current theme was a copy of SemPress I made a while ago.. bit of a bad idea as now it is quite outdated
#
doubleloop
I'm going to upgrade to the new SemPress and make all tweaks in a child theme this time
#
[pfefferle]
Let me know when you open source your child theme
#
[pfefferle]
Then I can add it to the list
#
[frank]
[pfefferle] You might want to check with [tonz], he also made some tweaks in the SemPress theme this weekend at IWC Nuremberg. See https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2018/10/fixing-h-card/ and other blogposts of his.

[Ton Zijlstra] Task 1 now complete. My blog declared 16 h-cards, one for each time my name was mentioned as author under the 15 blogposts on my front page, and 1 in the side bar. That last one is the only one I want to have, so I wanted to remove those underneath b... https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6f35ac704fb4cfa938d87e1ec7039ea7?s=40&d=https://www.zylstra.org/wp/wp-content/plugins/semantic-linkbacks/img/mm.jpg&r=g
#
[pfefferle]
Thanks, but this is a very specific change that only works on single user blogs.
#
[pfefferle]
But I would love to see this tweaks as github issues and/or merge requests, so we can add it to the core theme, so others will also benefit from these changes

#
[chegalabonga]
would you recommend sempress or zenpress [pfefferle]? Or is it just personal preference?
#
[pfefferle]
Personal preference... the source is nearly the same
#
[pfefferle]
I currently use ZenPress
#
[pfefferle]
And that’s why I will focus on the development of ZenPress
#
[chegalabonga]
:thumbsup:
#
[pfefferle]
But I try to keep sempress as uptodate as possible
#
[chegalabonga]
cool

I'm updated to Micropub 2.0 and Post Kinds 3.1.1 \o/
#
doubleloop
All working well
#
doubleloop
Is there a reason why when publishing via Micropub html special chars are converted to html entities?
#
doubleloop
It displays fine in WP, but when I syndicate out (e.g. to Mastodon), I end up posting the html entities

The semantics in Zenpress theme are amazing

[chegalabonga]
even the post next / previous links have their own titles

[chegalabonga]
I meant the nav element has H1
#
[chegalabonga]
instead of the usual random `<div>` placementsa
#
[chegalabonga]
I've installed a bunch of the Indieweb plugins and the Ostatus plugin+dependancies.
#
[chegalabonga]
Now on logging out my site is not connecting.
#
[chegalabonga]
Any ideas at all anyone please? https://davidpeach.co.uk/

doubleloop, not sure about your Syndication issue
#
GWG
That here thing is odd
#
[chegalabonga]
I managed to restore an older version luckily
#
[jgmac1106]
@doublepoop that is a known issue. I am assumin you talking about the oStatus plugins? I use Mastodon AutoShare which works fine but the syndication to Mastodon from jgm,ac1106@jgregorymcverry.com has the special characters
