GWG Morning
#
Loqi guten morgen
#
GWG Since this is WordPress related, thought I'd list in here
#
GWG I have the webmention upgrades I was discussing with pfefferle, which is a refactoring...not feature laden to start
#
GWG I have bug fixes..not something you can demo
#
GWG I had an idea about h-cards
#
GWG And building an importer that would allow you to fill out a WordPress user account by parsing your h-card from another site.
#
GWG But limited utility right now.
#
[Rose] Refactoring is pretty handy

#
GWG But not necessarily a hack day project
#
GWG I need something to demo
#
[Rose] Maybe a mini thing you can do first can be the demo, and then you can do refactoring?
#
GWG I have thought of that
#
GWG Not sure what yet
#
GWG The changes we discussed require more than a day's work
#
GWG Merging Semantic Linkbacks and Webmention
#
GWG Maybe I will read the issues list
#
[Rose] Is there a way on a page in WordPress I can pass a parameter to the template being used? E.g. This page template should get the parameter "Shortcuts"? I'm probably phrasing this badly whcih is why my Google fu failed me. Essentially I want to create a custom template which shows posts with specific tags (in a particular category) in a custom format. But instead of creating multiple templates which are essentially the same aside from the tag
#
[Rose] for, I'd like to pass that to the template.
#
GWG Query strings
#
[Rose] Perfect
#
[Rose] Maybe I'm reading the wrong tutorials, they all seem to have this stuff hard coded.
#
GWG There already is one for categories and tags
#
[Rose] GWG++ for understanding my rambling brain
#
Loqi GWG has 83 karma in this channel over the last year (176 in all channels)
#
GWG Look at archive templates
#
GWG In themes
#
[Rose] I'm using Genesis, so my page_archive is probably quite different, I'll check the default WP themes
#
GWG https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/master/includes/class-kind-taxonomy.php#L293
#
GWG That might help
#
[Rose] It does!
#
GWG It's how I do custom titles on archives, but the code could easily be inside the template
#
[Rose] This is fascinating. I really ought to be doing other stuff at work, but instead I'm reading this like most people read a newspaper or scroll through Facebook 😆
#
GWG Rose, what is?
#
[Rose] All of the code in your plugin 😆
#
GWG I think parts of the plugin are getting too big and need to be split/simplified
#
[Rose] Maybe, but it's still fascinating
#
GWG Not getting rid of anything
