[Rose] @GWG Should the weather widget be based on my current location, or the location in my profile? And if the latter, how do I update my profile location automatically from Compass? :P
#
GWG The weather widget needs that option.
#
GWG Should add it
#
GWG Having constant location info is new, so it was going by last location post
#
GWG There is a way to update from Compass right now

aaronpk where's that wordpress indieauth debug help page? https://twitter.com/TechLifeWeb/status/1126634937849917444
#
@TechLifeWeb #indieweb folks: It appears OwnYourGram is broken for me. Worked up until around the end of March. I think something might have hanged on my host. I’m getting a “Mod_Security” error. What do I need to tell them to fix? (twitter.com/_/status/1126634937849917444)
#
GWG aaronpk, waiting for a second PR approved before I push
#
GWG The one I did at Berlin
#
aaronpk i mean is there a page on the wiki to point to?
#
aaronpk with instructions?
#
aaronpk even if it's not in the plugin yet
#
[tantek] what is WordPress IndieAuth
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "WordPress IndieAuth" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "WordPress IndieAuth is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk WordPress IndieAuth is /Wordpress_IndieAuth_Plugin
#
Loqi ok
#
loqi.me created /WordPress_IndieAuth (+39) "prompted by [tantek] and redirect added by aaronpk" (view diff)
#
GWG I think I need to write more about mod_security
#
GWG But we had someone in chat having that problem with bluehost
#
[tantek] GWG, can you start with a "Mod_Security error" subheading inside this section? https://indieweb.org/Wordpress_IndieAuth_Plugin#Troubleshooting
#
GWG Okay
#
GWG I wonder if there is a way to add a check for that

#
sknebel what is mod_security?
#
Loqi mod_security is a web application firewall for the Apache web server https://indieweb.org/mod_security
#
sknebel generally, the recommendation is going to be "check your server logs if they tell you more, then give the details to your hoster and let them disable the rules that caused the problem for you"
#
sknebel not sure about checking, could make something that sends a bunch of fake micropub-like requests and see if they go through

[Rose] Is there a way to filter checkins without text or a photo out of a feed?

#
[Rose] Or all checkins.

GWG There could be

GWG Queries are possible
#
GWG Open an issue on Post Kinds
#
[Rose] Currently I syndicate 2 categories to micro.blog via RSS, but I would like to be able to exclude certain post kinds (such as check ins) from these feeds. Is there a way to do so, or can we add one? :) https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/257
#
Loqi [RosemaryOrchard] #257 Filter post kinds out from a feed
#
sknebel [Rose]: I think you can make feeds combining multiple post-kinds, so temporary hack: make one for all kinds except check-ins?
[tantek] joined the channel
#
GWG You can
#
GWG /kind/checkin,note/feed should work
#
[Rose] Aha, great.
#
GWG You want the inverse. I can add that
#
[Rose] I would like an exclude filter, but I'll work on an include one for now ☺
#
[Rose] GWG++
#
Loqi GWG has 83 karma in this channel over the last year (168 in all channels)
#
GWG Include is already there
#
GWG I will have to add one
#
GWG Simple feature
#
[Rose] As in, I need to stitch together the ones I want.
#
[Rose] I also want to be able to exclude checkins that have neither photo nor text. But that's probably a step up again.
#
GWG Yes, I think I can handle it
#
GWG I may stick it in during icon fixes
#
GWG Still fixing Simple Location Icons
#
[Rose] Thanks!
#
[Rose] Hmm, a thought. Can I send swarm stuff to a specific category, current it's being tagged - but I also have a default category. So can I send it to just a non-default category?

[Rose] needs to learn more about how WP works
