GWG
Did you try logging out of Omnibear?
#
dougbeal
GWG: yeah, and it picked up the bridgy fed option
#
GWG
That's the Syndication Links version
#
dougbeal
GWG does one of the .rocks tools show syndication targets?
#
GWG
Not sure. Micropub.rocks might
#
dougbeal
GWG wp 5 seems slower, have you noticed any difference?
#
dougbeal
GWG: everything looks normal with the plugin disabled, must be an omnibear bug
#
GWG
dougbeal: Only in the Block Editor.

GWG: the Syndicate To "Github via Bridgy" checkbox seems to get cleared whenever I update/publish. I changed micropub to draft settings, and the reply originated in Omnibear
#
GWG
Yes, that is as designed
#
GWG
It is a command, as opposed to a setting
#
dougbeal
GWG: Oh, so the checkbox disappearing is as intended?
#
GWG
Yes.
#
GWG
But I probably should make it clearer
#
GWG
It is modeled after a syndication target in Micropub
#
GWG
Those boxes don't stay checked either
#
dougbeal
Should there be a log message for the webmention?
#
dougbeal
GWG: It wasn't on the brid.gy page, so I got impatient and entered it manually
#
GWG
dougbeal: Logging is a future feature
#
dougbeal
GWG: its looking like the webmention is only sent with bridgy-publish
#
GWG
dougbeal: You mean, Syndication Links is not working for you?
#
dougbeal
GWG: yes
#
GWG
Odd.
#
GWG
I use it regularly.
#
dougbeal
GWG: with github? I will try with both plugins, and syndication links, and with Omnibear and wp ui
#
dougbeal
GWG: see if that illuminates anything
#
GWG
Actually, I haven't tested Github in a while.
#
GWG
I have used Twitter, which works the same way.
#
GWG
Never used Flickr as I don't have an account.
#
GWG
Will do some testing.
#
dougbeal
Omnibear fix wasn't correct, now it randomlly clears your syndicateTo...oops

GWG: hurm, so if I micropub a draft w/ syndication set, shouldn't the checkbox be checked then?
#
GWG
As mentioned, doesn't save the setting in the box. The box only triggers syndication.
#
dougbeal
right, but a draft can't be syndicated
#
GWG
Yes, so it won't trigger, but it doesn't save the setting
#
dougbeal
GWG: right, will file a feature request ;)
#
dougbeal
GWG: twitter doesn't seem to work either for me
#
GWG
Need to figure out why, I think
#
dougbeal
GWG: I don't see any relevant errors in the php log
#
dougbeal
GWG: I did try adding a webmention.io target, then deleted it
#
GWG
A webmention.io target?
#
dougbeal
GWG: as a syndication target, to see if it would get a webmention
#
GWG
Interesting
[schmarty] and [grantcodes] joined the channel
#
dougbeal
GWG: oh, I should try turning drafts back off, see if that fixes it?
#
GWG
You are posting everything as a draft first?
#
dougbeal
GWG: for twitter I just created it in the wp ui
#
GWG
Okay. There is a bug someone filed that it would only posse on initial creation, not on post publishing.
#
dougbeal
hurm, went to wrong issue :(, but sent the webmention when I switched back to Publish rather than Draft
#
GWG
As I said, there was an issue reported on post status
#
dougbeal
wrong issue was omnibears fault
#
dougbeal
GWG: does the media endpoint supports q=last yet?
#
GWG
Not yet
#
GWG
On the list
#
dougbeal
:thumbsup:
#
dougbeal
it lives in the micropub plugin?
#
GWG
dougbeal: Correct. The media endpoint is a file in there. I just never taught it
#
GWG
Working on an event template now
#
dougbeal
GWG: are errors expected in parse-this, since it encountering who knows how malformed html?
#
GWG
dougbeal: Define error?
#
GWG
As in PHP Notices? I hope not
#
GWG
As in, bad data, possibly
#
dougbeal
Like DOMDocument::loadHTML(): htmlParseStartTag: invalid element name in Entity,
#
GWG
I just did a boatload of Parse This fixes, which I am going to release.
#
GWG
dougbeal: Dev version or stable?
#
dougbeal
GWG: stable
#
GWG
dougbeal: It may have been fixed in the newer version.
#
GWG
But, I am hoping to release a new version shortly.
#
dougbeal
GWG: Ok, will hold off on bugs until new release, except for Undefined index: name's
#
GWG
dougbeal: I may release a refresh before I add any significantly new features.

How can I run the style checks, GWG?
#
jgmac1106
oops spelling fix in wrong channel
#
Zegnat
`composer exec phpcs -- authdiag.php` fails for me
#
Zegnat
Running my globally installed phpcs just tells me “Referenced sniff "PHPCompatibility" does not exist” and exits
#
GWG
Zegnat, you should install it. But don't worry, I consider authdiag not subject to it
#
Zegnat
I thought I did
#
Zegnat
I got it working now by running `php vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin/phpcs authdiag.php`
#
GWG
PHPCompatibility is always useful to check versioning
#
sknebel
maybe worth adding to the CI checks in the repo
#
GWG
Maybe.
#
Zegnat
Fixed the styling anyway now
#
Zegnat
Few errors left, because obviously they do not want you to include var_dump or to set error reporting. But for diagnostic reasons I feel like those are OK

That's why I don't run wp styles on external stuff
