Sigh. I am frustrated. No matter how much I read and I think I understand what’s going on with IndieWeb and my WordPress website, I still find things that don’t work as I expect them to.
#
GWG
[Khurt]: Do you want to talk it out?
#
[Khurt]
I ran my landing page and a few of my post through the “Parse This Debugger”. All sorts of errors I don’t understand.
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
Yes I do!

[Rose]
Though I'm apparently a few hours late.
#
[Khurt]
```{"code":"unknown error",``` isn’t very helpful.
#
[Khurt]
``https://islandinthenet.com/rock/`` is one example.
#
[Khurt]
I have the “feed discovery” enabled in “Parse This Debugger”.
#
[Khurt]
Perhaps I just need to read more.
#
GWG
You want to discover feeds inside that page?
#
GWG
By the way, it works for me.
#
[Khurt]
Yes.
#
GWG
I just ran it.
#
GWG
It found 18 feeds on that page
#
[Khurt]
I get

Oh....

I forgot about that.

You are trying to run it on your own site

[dshanske] #28 Cannot Parse Own Page for Feed
#
GWG
Already filed an issue on that
#
[Khurt]
AH!!! Got it. It was driving me nuts! Whew!
#
[Khurt]
Wanted to be sure my custom feeds were working. I think I’ll test with Reeder from now on.
#
GWG
I'll fix that eventually
#
GWG
I totally forgot about that problem
#
[Khurt]
Thanks for your help @GWG

Two new providers are coming into Simple Location today

[Rose]
Tell me more!

Compass is now a location provider
#

APIXU is now a weather provider

[Rose]
Nice!

I'm just wondering, do WordPress likes on comments get sent anywhere as a reply?
#
GWG
You mean Jetpack likes?
#
[Rose]
Yes, I am presuming they do not.
#
GWG
Not that I know of
#
[Rose]
I am glad to know my presumptions are correct.
#
[Rose]
Installed, Compass added!
#
GWG
[Rose]: Tell me how it works for you

Made great progress today on Yarns' UI - Following GWG's advice I used WordPress's list tables where possible. Following WordPress conventions makes the UI easier to understand
#
GWG
jackjamieson: Also less custom coding
#
jackjamieson
Yes, I can probably tidy my code a lot further but it's getting simpler. I still have a bunch of stray CSS to clear out
#
jackjamieson
GWG, but I ran into an authorization problem and am now getting a 401 from monocle
#
jackjamieson
I'm trying to figure that out now
#
GWG
Did you change something on the auth side?
#
aaronpk
I keep seeing blogs in my reader that show a giant photo of an avatar as if it were a photo post. Here's the latest one https://www.neoaboriginal.com/digital-minimalism/
#
aaronpk
is this a problem with the blog using an old plugin/theme? Or has this not been fixed yet?
#
aaronpk
Also note that in this case the avatar isn't even visible on the page yet it has microformats markup somehow anyway
#
jackjamieson
GWG: I didn't modify the auth code, but most of my testing has been bypassing it (so I could view json responses directly in my browser). So now I need to figure out when it broke
#
GWG
Odd
#
jackjamieson
Hmm, rolling back Yarns to previous versions isn't working. Which leads me to believe it's probably an issue between Yarns and other plugins (maybe indieauth)
#
jackjamieson
I think that's too much for me to unravel today, but this is a good opportunity to try and update Yarns' auth code anyway. I'll compare my code to WordPress-Micropub and see if I can figure it out
#
GWG
The new Micropub code has auth as a separate file
#
jackjamieson
I'll make that my next priority. I don't think I'll have time to do any coding this coming week, but the week after looks a bit clearer

Independent Publisher uses Gravatar by default and the h-card is leaky if I recall. Too tired to investigate but I have notes somewhere

!tell GWG the last seen widget apparently doesn't know where I am
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
[kimberlyhirsh] and [eddie] joined the channel

GWG
[Rose]: Well, it wouldn't unless you post
#
Loqi
GWG: [Rose] left you a message 1 hour, 33 minutes ago: the last seen widget apparently doesn't know where I am
#
GWG
I will have to explain that
#
GWG
Last Seen comes off of the user's location, set under the user profile
#
GWG
So, on the theory that most people don't want to constantly be updating people on their exact whereabouts, it only updates if you publish a post with location or trigger an update
#
GWG
Which you can do with a script
#
GWG
I might mod it to accept geojson

Oh, I presumed connecting it with compass would Grab my data from there.
#
[Rose]
And there are recent posts from swarm and Instagram with my location in them.
#
GWG
Did you select the option in settings?
#
GWG
It may need work
#
GWG
I may add Compass webhook support
#
GWG
The issue is how to protect privacy with it
#
GWG
I think I may need to enhance the feature more
