Pull the latest update. This was fixed a day or two back.
#
GWG
What was?

GWG: [Rose] left you a message 7 hours, 24 minutes ago: I implemented a workaround for the location indicator image for the time being, it'll be overwritten when your next update comes though ๐Ÿ™‚
[chrisaldrich] and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle]
yes, I fixed it one or two days ago. It seems that there were some changes in the Post-Kinds plugin, I was not aware of ๐Ÿ˜ž

The inline style.

I'm not sure what happened, but one moment IndieAuth was working and now it's not. When I try to authorise my site on MicroPub Rocks! I get the following error.
#
[Serena]
The url I'm trying is https://www.supine-owl.com
#
[Serena]
I've updated all the IndieWeb plugins, if that makes any difference.
#
[Rose]
Indiewebify.me seems happy. And I can see your auto endpoints in the source code.
#
[Rose]
Have any other plugins updated recently? And which host are you using?

GWG
[Rose]: I have a question for you regarding the SVG problem
#
GWG
For the location icon, always being 1rem is fine.
#
GWG
But what about the syndication icons?
#
GWG
And the rel me icons
#
GWG
Post Kinds as ell, but it has different contexts, the others don't
#
[Rose]
Well, icons being 1rem in general should work I think. If someone specifically wants larger syndication icons they can make their own template?
#
GWG
Well, Syndication Links has a setting for small medium and large
#
GWG
I believe 16px, 24px, 32px
#
GWG
If I switch to inline max width per your suggestion, I suppose it could be 1, 1.5, 2
#
GWG
I'll make some other minor fixes to Simple Location and get that out at least.
#
[Rose]
Those would be logical settings.
#
GWG
I think, if I switch from absolute to relative sizes, I might just remove the default CSS sizing.
#
GWG
As it would be dictated by everything around it being sized.
#
GWG
Probably a better move.
#
[Rose]
That's probably good. I'm a big fan of relative sizing personally.
#
[Rose]
Change of topic (not that we should end the current one, but this is on my mind): How are people backing up their WP sites?
#
GWG
My design sensibilities could use help
#
GWG
I backup the database plus files
#
GWG
There are some good plugins though
#
[Rose]
I've checked the whole directory into Git, and I'm running a script to back it up daily, said script also dumps the DB into a .sql file in a folder in the directory before doing so, and deletes any DB dumps older than 7 days.
#
[Rose]
Well, to commit it rather
#
[Rose]
These aren't incremental DB backups, so I hope the last 7 days is enough
#
GWG
I like redundancy
#
GWG
Re the design issue, any help on aesthetics would be appreciated
#
[Rose]
Anything in particular?
#
GWG
All the kind view templates could use improvement in that regard
#
[Rose]
Ok. Where are your SVGs coming from for now? Fontawesome?
#
GWG
I will try to address the icon issues in all plugins. Have to go one by one
#
GWG
Depends on the plugin
#
GWG
Post Kinds uses font awesome svg files inlined
#
[Rose]
Maybe they should be unified?
#
GWG
Syndication Links and Indieweb use the Simple Icons repo, because it focuses on brand icons
#
[Rose]
Fontawesome does have brand icons
#
GWG
Simple Location uses one icon for location and many for weather, from a weather icon font set
#
GWG
Fontawesome doesn't cover all the brands
#
GWG
But is there an ease of using one overall?
#
GWG
The import is automated
[xavierroy] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
Woot!
#
Loqi
woot
#
[Rose]
On the replacement for the pin icon front: Fontawesome has a compass icon that might work GWG?
#
[Rose]

#
Loqi
Xavierroy has 2 karma over the last year
#
[Rose]
I now have an idea for a tagmoji plugin
#
[xavierroy]
Feel free to improve on it. I'm not a programmer ๐Ÿ™‚ I copied this and modified a couple of things to get it working
#
GWG
Do we need it replaced?
#
GWG
I was only looking at resizing
#
GWG
Although if you want multiple options, I suppose I could add them
#
[Rose]
I'm not a fan of the pin, to me it represents pinned posts a little too much.
#
GWG
You mean the arrow
#
GWG
Pin is checkin, which I am willing to change
#
[Rose]
No, the arrow in simple location is great.
#
[Rose]
Yes, the check in pin is what I meant. Just found this: https://fontawesome.com/icons/map-marked-alt?style=solid
#
GWG
Checkin is in Post Kinds
#
GWG
I am going to fix the size issue in all plugins. No problem swapping the icons concurrently if you want to propose amendments
#
[Rose]
I propose the above linked icon for checkins
#
GWG
I think it may be an improvement over the pin
#
[Rose]
I think it more accurately identifies that it's location related.
#
[Rose]
Just the location marker without the map would work too
#
GWG
I don't like the location marker personally
#
GWG
By itself
#
[Rose]
Me either really.
#
[xavierroy]
look smore like someone with a hula loop ๐Ÿ™‚
#
jeremycherfas
Failed hula hooper
#
GWG
Isn't that a logo for Google?
#
[Rose]
Now I can't unsee the failed hula hooping.
#
GWG
I am onboard with the map marker, I suppose
#
[Rose]
But yes, that's the Google Street View loho
[eddie] joined the channel
#
GWG
Don't want to do that
#
[Rose]
*logo
#
GWG
This is the Syndication Links icon set
#
GWG
Either way, I will be working on it
#
GWG
Before I go back to other projects
#
GWG
I always stop for bugs
#
GWG
And this sizing thing effects every plugin
#
[Rose]
These are the various things that fontawesome considers location related.
#
GWG
So I have to update all of them
#
[Rose]
Sorry for finding a bug :P
#
GWG
Never apologize for finding something that should be fixed
#
[Rose]
It was a tongue in cheek apology
#
GWG
I just want to get through more items on my list before Summit
#
GWG
More annoyed no one mentioned it prior
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle]
GWG can we have a talk about working together on new features? (Webmention)
#
GWG
I feel bad I may have affected people
#
GWG
pfefferle, any time
#
[Rose]
You didn't do it on purpose GWG
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: You saw my notes re where I was starting...with redoing retrieval...and the fetch branch
#
GWG
I care about my users, [Rose]
#
[pfefferle]
GWG yes and that is why! I would love to have a process to work together and to have a discussion about new stuff
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: What are you proposing?
#
GWG
How do we do that?
#
[pfefferle]
I have no idea, thatโ€™s why I wanted to chat about that a bit
#
GWG
I figured that I would implement a preliminary version of the fetch functionality, and then we'd review it before merging
#
GWG
And keep going
#
GWG
I think when we get to migrating the old data to the new format it will be harder
[calumryan] joined the channel
#
GWG
I tested some code for that when we get to it
#
[pfefferle]
I have already feedback to the mf2 dependency inclusion ๐Ÿ˜…
#
GWG
Oh?
#
GWG
Don't like the composer auto copy?
#
[pfefferle]
Yes ๐Ÿ˜…
#
GWG
Alternatives?
#
[pfefferle]
Like in the semantic linkbacks
#
[pfefferle]
Install it as dependency and keep it in vendor
#
[pfefferle]
To show that it is a dependency and not code from us
#
GWG
The only reason I wanted to move it was I don't like to include the vendor directory.
#
GWG
What about a dependency directory under includes?
#
[pfefferle]
And that is why I asked how we want to work together
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: I am fine with, despite my comment about not including the vendor directory, including something that indicates it is a dependency
#
GWG
If there isn't a middle solution, I would just revert it back into vendor
#
GWG
There's just a lot of dev dependencies like phpcs in vendor I worry about accidentally including.
#
[pfefferle]
I see, where do we want to discuss that?
#
GWG
It's best due timezone issues between us
#
GWG
Issue opened
#
[pfefferle]
You donโ€˜t want to talk to me in person ๐Ÿ˜ž
#
[tantek]
Awww. Missed you in Berlin pfefferle!
#
[tantek]
Maybe you can join us in Brighton 19-20 October?
#
[pfefferle]
Yes, sadly it couldnโ€˜t make it to Berlin and Dรผsseldorf ๐Ÿ˜ž
#
[pfefferle]
Brighton is now marked in my calendar
#
[pfefferle]
Tanks for the reminder ๐Ÿ˜˜
#
[pfefferle]
I will be at the WordCamp in Berlin!
#
[pfefferle]
anyone from <!here> attending the WordCamp europe?
#
[tantek]
pfefferle great! https://indieweb.org/2019/Brighton if you'd like a URL with your calendar entry ๐Ÿ™‚
#
[tantek]
when is WordCamp Europe?
#
Loqi
what
#
[Rose]
June 20-22.
#
[Rose]
I am in Amsterdam delivering a workshop at a conference then, unfortunately.
#
GWG
Darn...
#
GWG
I can't do Brighton

Q: When I go dark on Friday (see #chat for why), if I disable comments on all posts & pages but still have the webmention plugin activated, will I still get webmentions?
#
[Rose]
Yes, but depending on your moderation setup they won't be shown AFAIK

[jgmac1106]
My students use a mix of private password protected posts, we have three levels of prvacy in class just you and me, just the class, public facing, and then the standard WP approval UI to moderate webmentions. some missed categories but an effective level
#
[jgmac1106]
I do wish that password protected automatically removed a post from both an h-feed and xml, I hate that the RSS reader I uses shows "this post password protected" still a marker that can cause vulnerability or be an attack vector

I have a proposal for private posts on WordPress in my brain
[eddie] and [Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
I request it be externalised at some point!
[tantek], [anomalily] and [calumryan] joined the channel
#
GWG
Might do that
#
GWG
It involves the Indieauth plugin and autoauth
#
GWG
Are you interested in private posts?
