[xavierroy] [pfefferle] Is there a way to filter out certain categories/tags out of the ActivityPub feed?
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] You want to publish only specific things?
[xavierroy] joined the channel
#
[xavierroy] Yes. I dont want my eat and drink posts to be published 🙂

#
[pfefferle] Hmmm, I have to finally learn how to build meta-boxes for Gutenberg I think 😒
#
[xavierroy] or alternatively, you could build a setting page to filter out categories
#
[xavierroy] and thanks for fixing the header issue
#
[pfefferle] does that work for you?
#
[pfefferle] the header thing?
#
[xavierroy] [pfefferle] Yes it does
#
[pfefferle] cool 🙂
#
[xavierroy] 🙂 and any chance of supporting post kind icons if I'm using that instead of post formats?
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] sure, there is an open issue for that I think… shouldn’t be that difficult
#
[pfefferle] (you mean replacing the post-format above the title with the post-kind?!?)

GWG Morning

Loqi *yawn* ... /stretch/

jgmac1106 Morning David
#
GWG Anything new on the Indieweb WordPress front?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] no just finished a grant proposal, have your video series on the calendar this week in between finishing book and setting up a new class
#
[jgmac1106] I do need to do a ClassicPress install and show how SemPress and Indieweb-2016 work on that...but still staying opaque until 1/22
#
GWG I've been going back and forth between iw26, which is the rename on Indieweb-2016, and a fork of Independent Publisher. The latter is much harder to organize.
#
GWG Both IW26 and IP come from the same ancestor, so part of the solution is to try to bring them closer together in how the code is organized to make it easier to update them in parallel.
#
GWG jgmac1106: Did you have any notes about Indieweb issues with Independent Publisher from some of your deep dives?
#
jgmac1106 yes, let me go back and look later, though you seem to be fixing most of the parsing issues post-kind caused
#
GWG I got Syndication Links and Simple Location integrated in. I still have author parsing in the theme to fix
#
GWG I continue to do bug fixes and enhancements to plugins as they come up, even though I am focusing on theming right now
#
GWG For example, I have an unreleased bug fix for a problem I discovered because Independent Publisher filters the same thing Post Kinds does and it caused a display issue

GWG Hi Jack
#
GWG I am just reminded of the 1980 movie Airplane when I type that, jackjamieson
#
jackjamieson lol, GWG, how's it going?
#
GWG Working on theming and stopping only for bugfixes right now
#
jackjamieson Nice, how's IP coming?
#
GWG Slowly
#
GWG For example, raamdev used a custom header as a site logo
#
GWG He did this before custom logos were a thing
#
GWG So I swapped it
#
jackjamieson Lots of little things like that?
#
GWG By the way, Indigenous for Android is complaining objects of type string can't be converted to objects from Yarns
#
GWG jackjamieson, mostly yes
#
GWG Title filters, addition of time instead of just date... archive description filters
#
jackjamieson Thanks, I'll add that Indigenous issue to my list
#
GWG Might be a hint
#
GWG But I also removed a feature.
#
GWG Two
#
jackjamieson Which features?
#
GWG If no logo is set, it defaulted to the admin email Gravatar
#
GWG I found that an assumption that I didn't like
#
GWG The other was the social menu
#
jackjamieson So now if no logo is set, the theme just doesn't display a logo?
#
GWG Yes
#
GWG That makes more sense to me
#
jackjamieson I agree, it's good to have the option for no logo
#
GWG I also have to change the style sheet to stop styling classic Microformats
#
GWG I added an option to hide categories from displaying on the front page.
#
jackjamieson How does it play with MF2?
#
GWG Needs work, but styling any Microformats is a bad practice
#
GWG If the goal is a theme to refer people to... then we should not have that practice
#
GWG Either way, once it is changed...it can continue to improve
#
jackjamieson Hmmm, I guess I could review the styling, but why is it a bad practice? it makes sense to me that one might use .h-card or similar for styling

#
GWG Changing your Microformats markup shouldn't change the appearance of your site
#
GWG We got _s to do that
#
GWG For hentry at least
#
GWG I am trying to do this in stages
#
jackjamieson I guess that makes sense, I was thinking it leads to excess classes in CSS (both a style class and a microformats class). But keeping those separate is more flexible

#
[asuh] GWG, I’m getting some PHP errors for Simple Location when I manually enter Location without doing a look up for longitude and latitude
#
[asuh] they’re warnings considering i can still render the page. i’m guessing they might have to do with the fact that this VM is running a newer version of PHP
#
GWG Can you file an issue so I can try to address?
#
GWG asuh, do you want to, when manually adding coordinates, still reverse geocode and do weather?
#
GWG The way it is set is that it will look up the name if the box is empty and you hit lookup but not otherwise
#
GWG I think it will only look up weather if it looks up the name, but I should fix that if it does.
#
GWG Trying to figure out the right configuration
#
[asuh] ok, i’ll file an issue in the repo
#
[asuh] i’m trying various configurations trying to debug my markup rendering problem when i ran into this
