GWG I just noticed pfefferle has a new color photo
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] Yes, the other one was more than 10 years old
#
[pfefferle] Time for a new one
#
GWG I approve
#
GWG pfefferle, I have been watching your activitypub work and wondering if I should try it
#
[pfefferle] It is still WIP but it does not break anything... so no real risk... I tried to make the comment-types a bit more generic and I want to reuse it for the Webmentions plugin, so I would love to get your feedback
#
[pfefferle] I would also love to implement custom post types in my themes, to not have to hack too much in the plugins
#
GWG I thought best practices said that post types should be in a plugin?
#
GWG I will look at the code
[eddie], [smerrill] and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] But why not support it in the theme?
#
[pfefferle] As with every plugin... theme support first and plugin fallback second
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Where are the comment types in ActivityPub?
#
[pfefferle] GWG https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub/blob/master/includes/class-rest-activitypub-inbox.php#L171
#
GWG So, similar to what we discussed changing to?
#
[pfefferle] ???
#
[pfefferle] using the type as comment-type
#
GWG Yes
#
GWG We discussed switching to that in Semantic Linkbacks
#
[pfefferle] and try to use non “prefixed” comment-metas
#
[pfefferle] exactly
#
GWG Migration would be a pain though
#
[pfefferle] and use “protocol” to refer to the protocol
#
[pfefferle] webmention/salmon/activitypub
#
GWG I really wish they'd done custom comment type registration
#
GWG But yes
#
[pfefferle] me too 😞
#
GWG I was tempted to write it, but it would only work in a plugin
