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?
#
[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
#
GWG
unique id for the provider. A number or name
#
GWG
I checked your source. The link is in the page, just not visibly showing
[jgmac1106] and [frank] joined the channel
#
[frank]
It also doesn't show an icon, that's why the link is not visible.
#
GWG
So I need to test why
#
GWG
[frank]: Do you have a minute re your other issue?

[frankmeeuwsen] #272 Name audiofile twice in post
#
GWG
I have questions about your intent on audio posting
#
GWG
Working on that now
#
GWG
[jgmac1106]: Would you have an opinion re this?
#
jgmac1106
you mean where should the icon or title go? I agree twice isn’t rihgt
#
GWG
[jgmac1106]: Not exactly
#

I ended up using a podcast plugin for my audio posts
#
GWG
I am trying to update metadata display for the audio, video, and photo posts
#
GWG
I deliberately didn't for mine
#
GWG
To force myself to improve it
#
GWG
But what properties go with those types of posts?
#
jgmac1106
class="u-audio" ohh you mean like length, file type all that?
#
GWG
Yes
#
jgmac1106
important for Apple xml if you want to send to podcasters
#
GWG
Well, file type no
#
GWG
But I am talking about description of audio, title, duration...
#
GWG
For humans not computers
#
GWG
I could go all out on photos and display focal length and such
#
[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...
#
GWG
[frank]: Your issue caused me to redesign the template entirely
#
[frank]
Oh dear... sorry for that! I'm just playing the unknown user 😉
#
GWG
The theming that dictates how items are displayed
#
GWG
It was on my list anyway

no worries, its how gwg roles. You say, “This is missing a p tag” and gwg rebuilds his entire theme..why we love him

[neoaboriginal] #273 Photo Kind error
#
GWG
[jgmac1106]: It is actually your fault
#
GWG
This was my IWC NYC hack day project
#
jgmac1106
and that is how I role, reaking havoc and leaving destruction in my wake
#
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
#
[frank]
This should be in your bio [jgmac1106]
#
[frank]
"reaking havoc and leaving destruction in my wake"
#
GWG
I am looking primarily for title and attribution
#
GWG
And caption
#
[jgmac1106]
<figcaption> fo so
#
GWG
I am still a librarian at heart
#
GWG
Right now I don't have that exactly
#
[jgmac1106]
check out schmarty's photos
#
GWG
For audio and video, I would want some things too
#
GWG
And you know attachments are a hidden post type in WordPress
#
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
#
jgmac1106
title, attirbution, length
#
GWG
jgmac1106, building the whole UI interface is something that I am reluctant to do with Gutenberg over my head
#
jgmac1106
keep it the same for all media types of course photos can get real granular into camera, exposure etc
[tonz] joined the channel
#
jgmac1106
then don’t ask @grantcodes for help, he digs on React and Gutenberg, going to be a huge ally for you
#
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
#
GWG
I haven't figured out how to deal with Gutenberg
#
jgmac1106
I told you how, “Just ask Grant'
#
GWG
Either way, I have been storing tags and featured image for Post Kinds
#
GWG
And not displaying them
#
jgmac1106
for now ignore, everyone I know installs Classic Editor the very first thing
#
GWG
My issue is how fundamentally it might change the plugin
#
GWG
That's a big thing
#
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
#
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
#
GWG
jgmac1106, I also got jackjamieson all the multiple attributions on the backend I could
#
GWG
I just updated so I could parse figcaption
#
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
#
GWG
I have never done a hover effect

Who is schmarty?
#
Loqi
Marty McGuire is a web developer in New York, NY, USA https://indieweb.org/User:Martymcgui.re
#
jgmac1106
this was the first one I did but it was me learning overlays and not using figcaptions: https://creative-commons-imahgge-overlay.glitch.me/
#
jgmac1106
that was like 4-5 years ago, i would trust nothing I did then (or now really)
#
[jgmac1106]
I like how Marty did it with fig caption, I used to do a ton of overlays to make it happen

GWG, I updated my local copy but haven't reviewed the changes yet

Due figcaption
#
jackjamieson
Looking over it now. Autoloader is new to me but I guess I should learn about it :)
#
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

#
GWG
It should work. It is in functions
#
GWG
I will Check when I get home
#
GWG
It is in the repo
#
jackjamieson
Hmm, I'll check on my end
#
GWG
I did change the way I load it though
#
jackjamieson
Yeah, I see the function is there but I'm still getting the error. I'm not sure what's happening
#
GWG
Load order?
#
jackjamieson
That was it - conflict with post kinds

GWG, Looks good overall! I noted a few issues but I think they're minor

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
