[jgmac1106] gwg I am hacking on this trying to get h-event done correctly for my charity, think I am getting close: https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser
#
GWG Oh?
#
[jgmac1106] though this one maybe easier: *https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-calendar-wd/*
#
Loqi [10Web] Description Event Calendar WD is a responsive calendar plugin for organizing events. This WordPress calendar lets you manage and publish unlimited event calendars on your site. Event Calendar WD Special Offer for all Premium Plugins WordPress Even...
#
[jgmac1106] a lot more javascript in that first one...but cool functionality, in the second one I am able to get the h-event, venue, and organizer h-card done....messing up the dtsarta dn dtend as it is one span
#
[jgmac1106] I know you have been looking at events these might be a place to start Event Calendar WD – Responsive Event Calendar plugin way simpler
#
[jgmac1106] tiny parsing error tripping me up but I am getting close
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I added a basic event template so you can post events from a Micropub client.
#
GWG That is more of a stopgap for now
#
GWG Also added itinerary support from Quill
#
[jgmac1106] ohh awesome!!
#
GWG It isn't fancy though
#
GWG https://wpdev.gwg.us/kind/event/
#
GWG Here are some of my test events
#
GWG Future will be nicer styling.
#
[jgmac1106] You could get this plugin with proper mf2 going easy ....let me look
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106]++ for adding h-event support to existing plugins!
#
Loqi [jgmac1106] has 15 karma in this channel over the last year (128 in all channels)
#
GWG https://wpdev.gwg.us/kind/itinerary/ - This is the itinerary testing
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] LMK when you have some sample event posts with your h-event markup — I can help review the output.
#
[jgmac1106] will do, right now have a broken parsing error
#
[jgmac1106] pesky old hentry I need to dig out
#
[jgmac1106] but I think that is theme specific. let me switch to SemPress and try
#
[jgmac1106] gwg your event looks okay, might want to ask tantek if the event organizer should go in content..I guess the event author and organizer could be different
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I need to start posting events to really experiment with the idea.
#
GWG Right now, it is an event embedded in an h-entry
#
GWG Wonder what event I can post

#
[tantek] What’s the next event you’re going to that doesn’t have it’s own indie event?
#
GWG I'm attending a concert on the 23rd
#
[tantek] Nice!
#
[tantek] did you post an RSVP for it?
#
GWG No. I got free tickets to an event in my neighborhood. http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/QPAC/shows.html#nelsons
#
GWG I would need an event post and an RSVP, or just an RSVP?
#
GWG The Platters are the next weekend, but I was booked for New Haven

#
[tantek] GWG, it's kind of an #indieweb question
#
[jgmac1106] okay taking a break need to find out what I messed up here: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/literacy/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-calendar-wd_off/views/single-event.php on line 204 got close, will be a fun project

#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I have faith in you.
#
GWG I'm always jumping around, but I can proof some workl

jeremycherfas !tell [jgmac1106] you may be missing a semi-colon at the end of the line above.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
[jgmac1106] and [Rose] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] jeremycherfase thx, going to try again tonight. I think I can hack an existing event plugin...of course will still require an IndieWeb theme has my first attempts get lost in parsers in older microformats
#
GWG [Rose]: How is WordPress working for you?
#
[Rose] It's pretty good! I need to get all my current content offline, and make some modifications to the RSS feeds and export those before uploading it all to WP again
#
[Rose] I also want to modify the RSS importer to handle my tags as tags directly and to set the category to X, I'll change X every time because there's only 5 categories so that's easier than messing with regex
#
[Rose] My theme still needs microformats, but honestly I think I should just get the switch done, I can do microformats at an IWC - but I need to get this switch done to motivate me to build in the microformats
#
GWG Well, as always, if you need any information, post in here
#
[Rose] I will! I think step one is just get all my current content in, and work from there
#
[Rose] I was wondering if there's an easy way to import syndication links with the posts actually
#
[Rose] Because I have all of that
#
GWG Syndication Links supports displaying them if stored in meta under the key mf2_syndication
#
[Rose] I'm missing a lot of background knowledge
#
[Rose] But I think what you're saying is importing them while importing the posts won't work, and I need to add them afterwards?
#
GWG Possibly
#
GWG I still have the imoorter docs bookmarked to see about an mf2 import
#
[Rose] I shall investigate
#
[Rose] I'm at the stage where I'm tempted to create a script that just generates SQL statements
#
GWG All mf2 is stored under its property name with the prefix mf2_
#
[Rose] Awesome
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Rose can you use or unmung first to convert the rss to mf2 or does it have to be imported as rss?
#
GWG There is no mf2 importer
#
GWG I considered trying to write an mf2 and or Jsonfeed importer
#
GWG Jsonfeed is probably easier as I could just copy and mod the rss ine5
#
GWG one
#
[Rose] Almost certainly
#
[jgmac1106] yeah I was looking at the json export and import options when thinking about migrating WordPress sites
#
[jgmac1106] especially bc then you can leverage what [cleverdevil] has done (well Icouldn't but Rose and you probably could)
#
GWG I will see what I can do to help. Push that project up on my list
#
GWG Worth it to get a new WordPress person
#
[Rose] I'm getting there! If I knew what I was doing more with WordPress and had some more time I could program this myself
#
[Rose] I'm sure I can figure it out though, just need to understand it all. There are 2 things I'll be doing though, first of all saving all the current site data both offline on my server, and also locally on my machine, and secondly converting it to a DB - so I can hopefully import things more easily.
jeremych_ joined the channel
#
[Rose] As I figure out how to do so of course
#
[jgmac1106] ran into such trouble migrating a WP install for a charity where I sit on the board....why pay people I say....turned out it was three separate WP installs with three different themes and two of them using outdated PHP versions no longer supported........
#
[jgmac1106] so you go with an under construction message: http://literacyeveryday.org/
#
[jgmac1106] they wouldn't let me use a construction sign gif
#
[jgmac1106] I think I might switch to SemPress and then see if I can rebuild what I did using a page builder
#
[jgmac1106] In the header image I tried to tell the life cycle of first generation college students using all openly licensed images
[frank] and [keithjgrant] joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] Has anyone seen an issue where the WP plugin returns 403 when a micropub client requests syndication targets?
#
[keithjgrant] (bringing in conversation from #meta)
#
[frank] [keithjgrant] I'm doing some tests now on micropub.rocks but I constantly get 403 errorcodes. I use Cloudflare for my DNS and caching, could that be one of the problems?
#
[frank] Could it be an issue with http vs https? See one of the error messages I found in my logs.

#
GWG If you have a problem, it would be with the Indieauth plugin. The likelihood is the server is blocking authentication headers, which is what the diagnostic script checks. We just patched an issue with the script for people running php 7.3
#
GWG But that is just to diagnose the problem

GWG That reminds me, I need to add this to my server
