[Rose] Are there any IndieWeb themes for WP suitable for podcasts?
#
sknebel What makes a theme specifically "suitable for podcasts"? (I assume you have some requirements in mind)
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Rose I used a plugin it worked fine
#
[jgmac1106] Seriously Simple Podcasting
#
[jgmac1106] You could easily ecit this to add an h-entry but there aren't any podcatchers consuming mf2 so I never bothered
#
[jgmac1106] It is free but they hide that fact
[tonz] and [Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] I already have all the plugins, just wondered if there was a theme
#
[Rose] I'll probably use Autonomie again if there isn't oen.

#
[jgmac1106] [Rose] post kinds has an audio post type and you can use category foe title and tag for episode but I don't think you get the XML Apple loves
#
GWG I am willing to consider adding podcast tags to audio archives
#
[jgmac1106] The key gwg is to look at the exact setup apple wants. I would make it a dropdown of category choices. IMO hardest part of validation

#
GWG The category stuff.. I have seen it
#
GWG I want to improve it for the Indieweb podcast which uses only Post Kinds
#
GWG I have other podcasts that use podcast plugins
#
GWG I have some minor things,. like podcast art, to address as well
#
GWG I have been thinking about my IndieAuth problem
#
GWG I think I am going to have to add a setting to lock who is representing the domain that mirrors the one built into Indieweb

#
GWG Can I safely enforce unique website URLs per user account...as in, only one user on the site can have a specific website in their profile?
#
GWG Safely as in, is there a scenario where two WordPress users on the same website would want to set the same URL in their user profile?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Do you have an opinion on this?
[tonz] joined the channel
#
[tonz] @gwg I have multiple users all me for diff roles (posted through mail, admin, me as editor etc.) but 'this is a 1 person site' is set, so that's the signL
#
GWG But you don't use all of them for IndieAuth,do you?
brett-soric joined the channel
#
[tonz] No, just 1 of them
WidgetBotiocli1[, gRegorLove and [tantek] joined the channel
#
GWG So, a setting for that should work

chrisaldrich GWG, Ideally the WordPress multi-user site would do a 1 to 1 and onto mapping of users and the url for their auth account. If there's an exception to this on a multi-user site, it could be for a single admin/root user that could potentially use one of two URLs (their author account and the root URL).
#
GWG Yes.
#
GWG But in the interest of simplicity, I think I'd better not make that exception and insist on 1:1
#
GWG And enforce unique URLs in the URL field in the user profile.
#
chrisaldrich I've been thinking about alternate scenarios and I couldn't imagine many/any wordpress admins setting up sites that would even do this.
#
GWG Do which?
#
chrisaldrich Multi-author site that would allow users to use more than one url for auth...
#
chrisaldrich Most would likely have tonz's case...
#
chrisaldrich Potentially business-based sites would have the primary identity be the corporation, but with multiple authors who create content for the corporation.
#
chrisaldrich In this case, they'd just use their author URL to use Micropub clients.
#
chrisaldrich I actually suspect this is a huge market for some of the micropub clients.... I know a lot of developers and agencies who spend a lot of time cutting UI out of WordPress or other CMSes to make things easier for their clients. Why do that if Micropub clients only give you the 2-3 fields you need to have for particular content types?
#
GWG So I probably need to ensure the user profile URL is a unique one.
#
GWG I need to lock things down a bit, as right now, it could be an issue
#
GWG I also have to figure out where web sign in fits in
#
GWG https://indieweb.org/Wordpress_IndieAuth_Plugin
#
GWG And all these use cases
#
GWG Should users have user profile pages?
[dougbeal] joined the channel
#
GWG Like /user/chrisaldrich
#
GWG Slightly different question... but that might also solve the h-card problem
#
GWG But out of scope
