# 07:44 [frank] GWG re my last question on the Indienews icon in Syndication Links. Does your respons mean they will pop up again in an update of the plugin?
# 07:44 [frank] And about my other question, what does UID mean in the settings of Custom Posse provider?
[xavierroy], [kevinmarks786], [grantcodes] and jgmac1106 joined the channel
# 10:56 GWG unique id for the provider. A number or name
# 11:09 GWG I checked your source. The link is in the page, just not visibly showing
[jgmac1106] and [frank] joined the channel
# 11:21 [frank] It also doesn't show an icon, that's why the link is not visible.
# 11:42 GWG [frank]: Do you have a minute re your other issue?
# 11:42 Loqi [frankmeeuwsen] #272 Name audiofile twice in post
# 11:48 GWG I have questions about your intent on audio posting
# 12:11 GWG [jgmac1106]: Would you have an opinion re this?
# 12:12 jgmac1106 you mean where should the icon or title go? I agree twice isn’t rihgt
# 12:14 GWG I am trying to update metadata display for the audio, video, and photo posts
# 12:15 GWG But what properties go with those types of posts?
# 12:15 jgmac1106 class="u-audio" ohh you mean like length, file type all that?
# 12:15 jgmac1106 important for Apple xml if you want to send to podcasters
# 12:16 GWG But I am talking about description of audio, title, duration...
# 12:16 GWG I could go all out on photos and display focal length and such
# 12:17 [frank] I used the Post kind "audio" to share a song once. Just make sure I can show the audioplayer to play the file. I don't care about type, duration etc in the description...
# 12:18 GWG [frank]: Your issue caused me to redesign the template entirely
# 12:18 [frank] Oh dear... sorry for that! I'm just playing the unknown user 😉
# 12:18 GWG The theming that dictates how items are displayed
# 12:19 Loqi [dshanske] #82 Presentation Improvements for Photo Kind
# 12:19 jgmac1106 no worries, its how gwg roles. You say, “This is missing a p tag” and gwg rebuilds his entire theme..why we love him
# 12:20 Loqi [dshanske] #169 Add Optional? Download Button/Link to Audio/Video Type
# 12:20 GWG I am fixing all related open issues
# 12:21 Loqi [neoaboriginal] #273 Photo Kind error
# 12:21 GWG [jgmac1106]: It is actually your fault
# 12:22 GWG This was my IWC NYC hack day project
# 12:22 jgmac1106 and that is how I role, reaking havoc and leaving destruction in my wake
# 12:22 jgmac1106 my idea: display:none almost all photosharing sites leave the metadata hidden or I would do it on hover and you put it in figcaption
# 12:23 [frank] "reaking havoc and leaving destruction in my wake"
# 12:24 GWG I am looking primarily for title and attribution
# 12:24 GWG Right now I don't have that exactly
# 12:25 GWG For audio and video, I would want some things too
# 12:26 GWG And you know attachments are a hidden post type in WordPress
# 12:26 jgmac1106 focus on mvp, get the title, then the attribution, then the metadata or some order there of, if you try for the entire meal at once you will burn the bird in the oven
# 12:27 GWG jgmac1106, building the whole UI interface is something that I am reluctant to do with Gutenberg over my head
# 12:27 jgmac1106 keep it the same for all media types of course photos can get real granular into camera, exposure etc

# 12:28 jgmac1106 then don’t ask @grantcodes for help, he digs on React and Gutenberg, going to be a huge ally for you
# 12:29 jgmac1106 but that is also phase 3, so you have time, look at Alan Levine, flickr cc attribution tool for good examples of prior art
# 12:29 GWG I haven't figured out how to deal with Gutenberg
# 12:29 GWG Either way, I have been storing tags and featured image for Post Kinds
# 12:30 jgmac1106 for now ignore, everyone I know installs Classic Editor the very first thing
# 12:30 GWG My issue is how fundamentally it might change the plugin
# 12:31 jgmac1106 you excel at backend, let others worry about frontend…just need to add a bit of an overlay, put the title on top and the attirbution and length on the bottom both in figcaption
# 12:32 jgmac1106 Adding a figcaption should not fundementally change anything do not worry about Gutenberg, solve the one issue at time: people want title, length, attribution
# 12:36 GWG jgmac1106, I also got jackjamieson all the multiple attributions on the backend I could
# 12:37 GWG I just updated so I could parse figcaption
# 12:41 jgmac1106 cool, the image overlay (if you decide on hover effect is easy) you can also just do figcaption =.5em or something and center under the media, maybe even include a toggle “hide metadata” and if hit would do display:none
# 12:50 jgmac1106 that was like 4-5 years ago, i would trust nothing I did then (or now really)
# 12:57 [jgmac1106] I like how Marty did it with fig caption, I used to do a ton of overlays to make it happen

# 18:34 GWG jackjamieson, seen Parse This today?
# 18:50 jackjamieson Looking over it now. Autoloader is new to me but I guess I should learn about it :)
# 18:55 jackjamieson Hmmm, I'm getting an error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function pt_load_domdocument() in [...]yarns-microsub-server/vendor/parse-this/includes/class-parse-this-rss.php:65
[eddie] joined the channel
# 19:06 GWG It should work. It is in functions
# 19:12 GWG I did change the way I load it though
# 19:13 jackjamieson Yeah, I see the function is there but I'm still getting the error. I'm not sure what's happening

# 19:43 jackjamieson GWG, Looks good overall! I noted a few issues but I think they're minor
[jgmac1106], [cleverdevil], [tantek] and jgmac1106 joined the channel
# 21:13 GWG jackjamieson, working on that too

# 21:45 [tonz] I removed the ‘recent posts’ and ‘recent comments’ widgets from individual posting pages, as [aaronpk] and [schmarty] noticed that they messed with xray’s parsing of my pages. Used the WP plugin Widget Context for it, so that those widget only show where useful, the front, archives, category/tag pages and search
