[jgmac1106]@gwg many offered to help. On IP rewrite, [asuh] [cjwillcock] and I. we could use it as opportunity to develop practices around community coding
GWG[tantek]: I don't hate Gutenberg in theory. I hate how they've gone about doing it and I don't like the underlying design, but I will have to adapt at some point.
GWGAnd I made an effort, except for the one plugin that it wouldn't easily work for, to have my plugins work with the block editor, if not integrated into it
[asuh]GWG: when I create a new post, let's say a Bookmark or Read Kind, and syndicate to Twitter into a new Tweet, does Syndication Links support the media container that's embedded below the Tweet content? It's the card component on the Tweet below the Tweet content that shows a photo, title and site name.
[asuh]sknebel: This might be plugin specific but I just tested one of the plugins that inserts og: tags and it’s all specific to my local site and not the bookmarked or read site. Even if Post Kinds plugin scrapes all the correct data from the remote article or post I’m using in my local kind post, the og: tags don’t reflect any of that data
[asuh]Ah, I guess the intention is for that card content to always be from my site and by going to my site someone will see the bookmark or read link I’ve used. Hmm.
[asuh]I’m thinking of a use case where I want a syndicated post to include both a card with the external link I’m saving as well as a linkback to my WordPress post
sknebel[asuh]: ah, ok. if the tweet ends with a url that creates a card, it gets replaced with the card, so you could send content ending in the url to twitter - it shows up as a link if there isn't a card made for it
[asuh]sknebel: if what you’re saying is true, then it sounds like there needs to be an array of og:url meta elements in the the head of the page, where the last element contains the link of the external URL. Is it valid to have multiple og:url meta elements?
[asuh]Would the Twitter preview card pull the og meta data of mysite.com but insert the externalsite.com instead? Or would Twitter query the external site for og meta data and use that instead?
[asuh]GWG: My thought is that Syndication links could send two links along with the Tweet text, the top being the local URL and the bottom being the bookmarked URL, which that bottom URL would then be the one with the preview card.
[asuh]I’d also wager that someone people would rather people who view these tweets to always go to the local URL first and then follow through to the remote URL from their site. So it might need an option for both versions
[asuh]GWG: do you have a preference in your editor for spacing/tabbing? 4 spaces = tab? I have a fork of Syndication Links that I’m seeing inconsistent formatting and if I submit a PR I want to honor your preference
[jgmac1106]@gwg "I really have to document what I'm doing though." This is why you have a blog .open new note, record in situ, when done, write post the notes will help. Everything will be captured plus you never have to worry about "what will I write about" You just do you and jot some thoughts as you go
