#
GWG
xavierroy, what for?
#
[xavierroy]
for the Indieweb publisher theme.. I like that theme and would really like the indieweb support 🙂
#
[xavierroy]
had a question for you on post kinds... if i don;t enter a url or a title, but enter some data in the tags section of the response properties, they are not saved
#
[xavierroy]
think the feed fix is not working for me yet
#
GWG
Save your permalink page
#
[xavierroy]
It works now 🙂 Should this be documented?
#
GWG
Not specifically. You were the only one who noticed that I broke it.
#
GWG
I should set it to flush on upgrade
#
GWG
xavierroy, don't try the IP fork. It's broken right now.
#
GWG
The excerpting feature in Independent Publisher conflicts with the No Title option in Post Kinds
#
[xavierroy]
Ok. 🙂 will wait for a workign vrsion
#
GWG
When I take the warning off
#
GWG
Anything you want to see in it?
#
[xavierroy]
You mentioned a gist that you shared with chris that can be used to add personal tweaks to the post kind plugin... other than the views template
#
GWG
I am backporting other improvements
#
[xavierroy]
maybe few menu widgets for postkinds 🙂
#
GWG
xavierroy, I have menu widgets

It has been slow in here lately
#
GWG
I feel like we need a topic to drive controversy

GWG
asuh, what is on your mind?
#
GWG
Any new goals?
#
GWG
I did change that node modules thing you commented on
#
[asuh]
Hey GWG, I think I'm gonna either submit a Syndication Links PR or Issue, if I can't submit the PR, about the massage SVG sprite. On my homepage, it's creating bloat since I'm not using more than just a handful of those icons
#
[asuh]
*massage should be massive
#
GWG
asuh, if you have an idea about how to do it
#
[asuh]
yeah, I'm going to inspect how you put it together and see if I can figure out how to split it up
#
GWG
The simplest choice is to use individual svg files over sprites.
#
GWG
Right now, to add new icons I just run a script
#
GWG
I want to keep it that easy
#
[asuh]
right, and that's possibly the best option but there might also be a way to have two or three sprites depending on usage, with the first one being most commonly used and hierarchical for the other two
#
GWG
It is doable with my build system.
#
jackjamieson
Hi GWG, how's it going? I saw you started on the independent publisher theme - let me know if there are any issues I can help with
#
GWG
Depending on what icons should go first
#
GWG
jackjamieson, I was in themeland with IW26, so I can cross update the same fixes
#
[asuh]
GWG determining which icons go in which sprite is the challenge I don't know if I'll be able to figure out without data
#
GWG
I hope raamdev is all right
#
GWG
Maybe I should go individual file
#
GWG
jackjamieson, what do you like about Independent Publisher?
#
jackjamieson
GWG, that's great - I'd wanted to take a crack at it but recently I've had a lot on my plate. It makes sense that you can cross update, but nonetheless I'm eager to contribute if I can.
#
GWG
Once it is ready for use, there may be a lot of opportunities for further improvements
#
GWG
IP wasn't using get_the_archive_title/description
#
GWG
I am cutting the social menu
#
GWG
That is better done in a plugin
#
jackjamieson
It's been a little while since I looked at it, but I used to have it as my main theme because I like the appearance. I'll have to review it to remind myself specifically what I liked :)
#
GWG
I have a list of tasks in. the Indieweb Publisher repo if you think of anything
#
GWG
My goal is what is necessary to have it usable and we can iterate later.
#
jackjamieson
I'll set up an instance to test it out and I'll make issues and/or PRs as I go through it
#
GWG
Thanks
#
GWG
I am in Ireland from tomorrow night to Friday morning, so not sure how much I will be able to accomplish
#
GWG
But I changed over Indieweb 2016 to the new iw26 while sitting at the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia, so who knows?
#
jackjamieson
GWG: I hope it's a nice trip - I'm certainly not one to criticize if you're busy with other things!
#
GWG
It's work. Not leaving Dublin airport
#
GWG
But alone at the airport Radisson has potential for coding productivity at night
[tantek] joined the channel
#
jackjamieson
Unfortunate to be stuck by the airport, but a short bit of quiet hotel productivity could be okay
#
GWG
I have a lot of things in mind
#
GWG
If you watched my repos in the last week while I was off, you'd see bug fixes in a variety of areas.
#
jackjamieson
GWG, I haven't looked in too much detail, but saw you've been busy with lots of changes
#
jackjamieson
BTW, I fixed the problem you were having with Yarns, so it should work now
#
GWG
Great. Will try again
#
GWG
I am trying to make everything work well together, so sometimes one problem touches multiple areas
#
GWG
And if I have a second quick fix I'll do it while I am in the code
#
GWG
So, Simple Location fix also had me fixing five unrelated bugs to the one that set me off
#
GWG
Indigenous for Android still doesn't like Yarns
#
jackjamieson
GWG, Aw, same with Indigenous for iOS - I'm still confused about that one. I'm planning to compare Yarns' JSON responses to Aperture to figure out if I'm doing something differently
#
jackjamieson
I think I've probably taken some shortcut or otherwise been sloppy in a way that works fine with web clients, but I need to be more exacting for mobile apps maybe
#

Oh, GWG, I thought of a feature request with Post Kinds. When using Post Kind Note, it would be useful for the editor Word Count (bottom left of editor) to also display Character Count in respect to the 280 character limit in Twitter. This also works for Gutenberg in the top Info icon called Content Structure. Thoughts?
[davidmead] joined the channel
#
jackjamieson
[asuh] Good idea - I have a plugin that does that (https://wordpress.org/plugins/word-count-and-limit/), but it would make sense to implement a character counter in post kinds directly
#
[asuh]
jackjamieson: that’s a nice plugin. Exactly like how your plugin displays it, too, but simply counting up from 0
#
[asuh]
I’ll write a Github Issue as a feature request
#
jackjamieson
[asuh] Not my plugin, just one I found, but I like it!
#
[asuh]
yeah, it looks good
#
GWG
There a reason to add it if there's a plugin for it already?
#
[asuh]
I think that plugin is nice but it’s not necessary for this one small feature IMO. Less plugins in WordPress is always better

#
jackjamieson
I think I just figured out Yarns' problems with indigenous - was able to get my channel list to display for the first time. Going to update the rest of the responses and hopefully it should all work :) Very excited to finally have this working!
#
[eddie]
Yay!! That’s great to hear!
#
Loqi

#
[eddie]
Sorry I haven’t had much more time to debug 🙂
#
[eddie]
settle down, Loqi
[davidmead] joined the channel
#
jackjamieson
[eddie] It was totally a problem on my end anyway - Yarns was just using 'return $json' when I should have been using WordPress's REST API. Web based Microsub clients seemed to be flexible with that, but apps are more discerning I guess
#
jackjamieson
Now I can finally use indigenous!

#
[eddie]
Yay!!! 👏
#
[eddie]
jackjamieson Great job filing bug reports! My non-work computer situation is a bit fluid right now so I haven’t made much progress on it lately but I’m hoping to have the computer issues resolved soon and hopefully get some progress moving again
#
[eddie]
Feel free to add issues for any usability/feature requests you see as well while using it!
