GWG Hi, [dougbeal]
#
GWG How is your website?
#
[dougbeal] Hi @GWG, good. The linode snapshot contained all my posts and none of the database writes.
#
[dougbeal] GWG++ really liking weather!
#
Loqi GWG has 82 karma in this channel over the last year (171 in all channels)
#
GWG [dougbeal]: Oh?
#
[dougbeal] GWG: yeah, the 66°F heavy intensity rain will really bring back the soaking I got 😉 Though it was the darn cars that were the problem
#
[dougbeal] Wasn’t prepared for the puddles
#
GWG [dougbeal]: Using the weather stuff I built.
#
[dougbeal] GWG: I’ve been using a combo of wp posts, Instagram, and Swarm
#
GWG I only tried Instagram to test Micropub and OYG integration
#
GWG I'm still using Swarm, but I can now check in without it.
#
[dougbeal] Looks like I had Location set to private, or its a new setting
#
GWG [dougbeal]: I made some tweaks. But there is private by default and public by default.
#
GWG And I did tweak it to load the weather into Swarm posts.
#
GWG But I have a few more ideas to pursue

#
GWG [dougbeal]: Is there anything not working the way you might expect, or might work better?
#
[dougbeal] GWG: It looks like when I change the default location setting from private->public, the edit post says its public, but its not displaying. It says hidden when logged in, and doesn’t show up when not.
#
[dougbeal] Let me edit it to public, and see what it does
#
[dougbeal] Can’t get it to display, tried setting it private, then public, didn’t work
#
[dougbeal] Oh, Simple Location update
#
[dougbeal] brb
#
GWG [dougbeal]: The default setting doesn't change past posts, only future ones.
#
[dougbeal] GWG: right, but I can’t change the post location to public
#
[dougbeal] It doesn’t display
#
GWG [dougbeal]: On the latest version?
#
[dougbeal] GWG: yep, just updated, didn’t seem to help
#
[dougbeal] Let me look in the logs
#
[dougbeal] Just warnings
#
[dougbeal] deg2rad expects float
#
GWG [dougbeal]: I just checked.
#
GWG Let me ask you a few questions.
#
GWG It shouldn't make a difference, but what settings are you using?
#
[dougbeal] 👍
#
GWG I thought I had tested all visibility options
#
[dougbeal] for Default Display for Location? It was private, changed it to public
#
GWG And the provider settings?
#
[dougbeal] Google Maps
#
GWG Okay. That is odd. I wrote unit tests, I did personal testing.
#
GWG There is something I'm missing there
#
[dougbeal] Is the visibility in the meta data?
#
[dougbeal] Oh, PEBKAK, that was post visbility… doh
#
GWG I fixed that.
#
GWG The weather visibility was overriding the post visibility
#
GWG But that was a name collision.
#
[dougbeal] no, I mean I was changing post visibility under publish, not location visibility
#
GWG [dougbeal]: Oh
#
GWG That would do it
#
[dougbeal] User error 😉
#
[dougbeal] GWG++ works as expected

#
chrisaldrich Has anyone looked at the microformats in the Twenty Nineteen Theme? Or how IndieWeb friendly it is?
#
chrisaldrich It seems like I saw someone using 2019 the other day, but now I can't remember
#
GWG [dougbeal]: Tell me if you have any suggestions.
#
GWG I'm going international in May to Berlin, and I always find location issues on trips
#
[dougbeal] Hurm, I kinda want to kind of trips… or maybe an itenrary and a trip
#
[dougbeal] Where an itinerary would be expected travel/dates/lodging
#
GWG [dougbeal]: I don't officially support that, but Post Kinds will accept an itinerary post from Quill
#
[dougbeal] and a trip would be a collection of posts, maybe with fancy Indiana Jones travel maps
#
[dougbeal] ooh, that would be cool
#
GWG [dougbeal]: I'd love that someday.
#
[dougbeal] Maybe that will be my summit project.
#
GWG What are you thinking with it?
#
[dougbeal] Thinking… I guess you could just use a tag? then create a special landing to get the animated travel map?
[fluffy] joined the channel
#
GWG I wouldn't mind showing a map on archive pages
#
[dougbeal] Oh, forgot about archive pages
#
[dougbeal] I haz trip! https://dougbeal.com/2019/04/09/6303/
#
[dougbeal] It would be interesting to have decaying geofences… so the location would go public some time after you left
#
[dougbeal] Though I guess with IG and Sw its slightly irellevaent
#
GWG Decaying geofences is interesting as an idea.

GWG Morning
#
Loqi morning!
#
[Rose] Hello!
#
GWG [Rose]: I'm still confused about how mp-destination would work in this.
#
[Rose] I think it's more that the categories would be listed as destinations, and then if the destination requested through micropub is a category name, it goes there.
#
[Rose] Perhaps this is something for Berlin? I think it might be easier to grab a pile of snacks and demolish them while discussing this 😄
[xavierroy] joined the channel
#
[xavierroy] it could be similar to how the category/tag is used in OYS
#
GWG Destination is supposed to be for other blogs
#
GWG We already support sending categories
#
GWG What factors would send something into one category or another?
#
[Rose] My categories are rather like multiple blogs, perhaps that's the problem.
#
[xavierroy] Oh. never knew that.. Then I should ask Aaron if he can expose a category field in teacup. maybe as in OYS
#
[Rose] I want replies to different Aperture channels to go to different categories, so if I reply to a person then it goes into my microblog category, but if I reply to a tech article it goes into my blog category.
#
[Rose] Maybe we need default tags on the Aperture/Monocle side of things
#
[Rose] (Most people don't follow everything I post, and they don't want to, they just want the tech stuff)
#
GWG Still need to brainstorm on that, not sure destination is the way
#
GWG Does Aperture send back anything about the channel?
#
GWG When you post using it?
#
GWG Actually, wait, that would be the client
#
[Rose] I use Monocole and Indigenous, I'm willing to switch, but not yet willing to write my own
#
[Rose] (If I wrote my own it would be a fork of Monocle probably)
#
GWG This may be a specification question
#
GWG Why can't Microsub clients send a referrer type string when you post from a channel?
#
GWG The client shouldn't have to let you set what channel does to your site. Your endpoint should do that
#
GWG So why can't it pass that info?
#
[Rose] That's a good question
#
GWG Is that a Microsub or Pub question?
#
GWG Moving it to dev
#
GWG As it isn't strictly a WordPress question
#
[Rose] Indeed

#
[jgmac1106] !tell pfefferle is there a way to do a no sidebar page view for SemPress?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[jgmac1106] What is wppusher?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "wppusher" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "wppusher is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] What is WP Pusher?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "WP Pusher" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "WP Pusher is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] WP Pusher is a plugin that allows you to deploy your plugins and themes directly from GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab. While there is a licensing fee it is free to use with any Open Source WordPress theme or plugin repo.
#
Loqi ok

GWG I will try to track the information
