Another PR for webmentions

What happened to it?
#
GWG_
Nothing.
#
GWG_
Why do you ask?

Hey, David. I said I'd be investigating some style improvements for Post Kinds this weekend. The problem is that I can't reproduce all usecases in my test. Don't have enough test data.
#
[chrisbergr]
The current style is super neutral, that's good. I don't want to change anything, that will lead to a negative result on a page that uses it.
#
[chrisbergr]
What I would prefer: I'll come to the next IWC in Germany, in which you will participate. Then we do a short session together. What do you mean?
#
GWG_
I am not sure if I will be at the next Berlin
#
GWG_
I may already be in Europe
#
GWG_
But the style needs to be neutral so it will work with many different cases and people can customize
#
GWG_
I store a featured image I don't display though
#
GWG_
And tags

#
[chrisbergr]
Ah okay, I see.

[chrisbergr]
Okay, displaying tags should be easy, I'll provide you something. And for displaying the image I think we just need max-width: 100%;
#
GWG_
I just need to find a good neutral
#
[chrisbergr]
- had problems using the repository because I forked it before...
#
[chrisbergr]
anyways, the css is just your minified file with some enhancements. you'll need to add this to the scss file

I there a reason why when viewing liked/replied to posts from a Wordpress blog, none of the text is displayed unless clicking on the original? Not to mention. there are some that display the author from the view when scrolling, and others that don't. The ones that display author seem to be coming from Micro.Blog.
#
GWG_
Do you have an example?
#
cambridgeport90[
Maybe that's supposed to look like that, though I'd think that the title of the replied-to post would show up without one having to click on it. It's more of a formatting thing.

This is because Aaron doesn't provide 'p-summary' in his article. Post Kinds checks for this to display the text.
#
cambridgeport90[
ah. So people looking at my stuff, for instance, because it uses Wordpress, will see it?
#
[chrisbergr]
I hope we can talk about also receiving e-content, David? I personally would prefer the content over the summary
#
GWG_
I have an issue open to generate summary from content if there's none
#
cambridgeport90[
That would be cool. We're getting there.

[jackjamieson2] #47 Infer summary from content if no explicit summary property
#
GWG_
Whether you set an explicit summary is up to you, not WordPress
#
GWG_
But how one derives one in presentation...
#
cambridgeport90[
I think that using Micropub for the most part kinda has made me lazy.
#
GWG_
How so?
#
GWG_
I use it for all mobile posts
#
GWG_
And for post types I have no interface for
#
cambridgeport90[
Right, but not all the fields are available unless you use the actual Wordpress app or the site. Another thing that gets me is how posts on Wordpress look in feeds; the untitled ones look ridiculous.
#
[chrisbergr]
For the theme I am currently working on, I have defined the following for all post types/kinds that are not "big articles":
#
[chrisbergr]
<div class="entry-content p-name e-content p-summary" itemprop="articleBody">
#
[chrisbergr]
Does this makes sense?
#
GWG_
Well, you are declaring the name, summary, and content to be the same
#
GWG_
Re feeds... that's a different issue
#
cambridgeport90[
I figured as much, but I thought it might have been related.
#
GWG_
The question is what it should say
#
GWG_
Namely what you expect a title on a post without one be
#
cambridgeport90[
If it were me, I'd use either the title is there is one, or the first few lines of the content if not.
#
GWG_
So, you want the title to be replaced by an excerpt if there is no title?
#
GWG_
The problem is the varying preferences on that
#
GWG_
So I am willing to try to come up with something
#
GWG_
Post Kinds does hook into the feed generation code
#
GWG_
So it can customize
#
GWG_
I got it to take out untitled as a title
#
GWG_
And the title field on the front end and for posts in the admin shows an excerpt if no title
#
cambridgeport90[
How did you manage that?
#
GWG_
It's built into Post Kinds
#
cambridgeport90[
I haven't found that setting, then, apparently. Thanks for letting me know.
#
GWG_
It isn't a setting.
#
GWG_
It should be on for everyone

GWG_
It doesn't do it on the front end
#
GWG_
Only the title field
#
cambridgeport90[
I haven';t actually looked at what my RSS feeds look like. Maybe I should.
#
GWG_
Okay
#
GWG_
It doesn't add a title to RSS
#
cambridgeport90[
Interesting ... I've definitely never seen that.
