[xavierroy] i use featured images differently for my watch posts: I have a common featured image for a series and then for each episode, i put in the featured image for that episode from imdb or tmdb

[xavierroy] [asuh] my tweaks for post title fix: https://github.com/xavierroy/odyssey-plugin/blob/b8712a159387aac21f2cf2b08deb9c3fd8290a33/odyssey-plugin.php#L128

#
[asuh] [xavierroy] thank you! I've been looking for something that will help me get around a permalink issue where I'm only using `%postname%` but it always adds `-2` to every blank post title permalink
#
[xavierroy] I feel it happens for draft posts. Could be a WP thing
#
[asuh] It's definitely a WordPress thing. They do it on purpose

GWG asuh, I am looking into inline svg, but will need a fallback, likely png

#
[asuh] GWG, for what reason do you see you’ll need a fallback?
#
GWG file_get_contents not permitted on all servers
#
[asuh] GWG: what a cURL fallback? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3979802/alternative-to-file-get-contents/3979882#3979882

GWG It's a local file, not a url

#
[asuh] GWG, ah right. Here are a few other methods I found. https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/perfect-wordpress-inline-svg-workflow

GWG Regrettably won't work

#
[asuh] darn. there’s a couple more suggestions in the comments too
#
GWG Well, I tried this a while back and ended up with the sprite as the easiest solution. Second is inline with an image fallback
#
[asuh] I don’t think tihs would work but what about implode? http://andreagandino.com/2016/09/06/an-alternative-to-file_get_contents/
#
GWG Post Kinds only has a few svg icons, so I am testing in there and I will roll out the same code to the other icons in Syndication Links and Indieweb
#
GWG I played a little at lunch
#
[asuh] makes sense
#
GWG Let's see how it works out
#
[asuh] another alternative backup would be JS insertion of SVGs
[stefp] joined the channel
#
GWG I avoid js
#
GWG Not saying that I might not try it, but I prefer server side
#
[asuh] I get it, it you could use continue using file_get_contents with js feature detection to insert svg when that doesn't work. It's a solid fallback and would prevent I unnecessary png backups
#
[asuh] *but, not it
