Why do you need Bluehost to start blogging on WebPress?
#
rosco_y
does it make your blog more stable in some way?

GWG
I do not know what you are referring to.

!tell GWG Internal comments are getting mangled email address (url+email), defeating auto-aprovoal and icon fetching. What plugin is the bug likely in? The Webmention and Semantic Links data looks ok (other than using the default avatar icon).
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

GWG: I have one post refereing to another, and the Webmention/comment generated has an mangled email under Author, so I have to manually approve

#
GWG
So it is a webmention then?
#
GWG
And the email shows what?
#
GWG
Do you have the source and Target urls?
#
dougbeal
the email field is the URL followed by the email

#
dougbeal
If I manually fix the email field, everything works as expected
#
dougbeal
Well, and get rid of the default icon
#
GWG
Okay. It is in the Semantic Linkbacks plugin then
#
GWG
Because webmentions doesn't do email
#
dougbeal
GWG: Ok, I will file a bug/look into the code. Thanks GWG++

!tell GWG I found the problem, my author h-card email is https://dougbeal.com/blog@dougbeal.com
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG
So, not a bug

GWG: dougbeal left you a message 4 minutes ago: I found the problem, my author h-card email is https://dougbeal.com/blog@dougbeal.com
#
GWG
Probably should validate emails though
#
dougbeal
GWG: not sure yet, seems to be from the author profile h-card widget
#
GWG
So, different bug
#
dougbeal
GWG: and my user looks ok in the wp ui
#
GWG
Okay
#
dougbeal
I think it my be a php-mf2 issue? Doesn't look like ther eare any tests, and I haven't found anyone else with email in their h-card.
#
sknebel
looks like it, yeah
#
sknebel
oh, no
#
sknebel
markup issue
#
sknebel
<p class="u-email"><a rel="me" href="mailto:blog@dougbeal.com">blog@dougbeal.com</a>
#
dougbeal
sknebel++ good catch

#
dougbeal
the closing /p is on the next line
#
aaronpk
missing mailto: in the href attribute
#
aaronpk
for example if you click that in the browser it's not going to open your mail client right now
#
dougbeal
aaronpk: thats what it is now: from '<p class="u-email"><a rel="me" href="mailto:' . $email . '">' . $email . '</a></p>';
#
sknebel
the problem is that the u-email is on the p-tag, not the a-tag
#
sknebel
that doesn't work
#
aaronpk
oh yeah that
#
sknebel
move it to the a-tag
#
aaronpk
how do we make validators that can catch these things?
#
sknebel
that specific one is something you could e.g. flag with a custom stylesheet
#
[tantek]
maybe that's better for #microformats
