[tw2113] just recently finished up watching the Books & Reading session, and while i was listening I decided to map out all the content I'd want for a book, etc to put on my own site
#
[tw2113] and i'm most definitely not against recreating GoodReads on my own
#
[tw2113] a mix of taxonomies, post meta, post dates/modified dates, comments and comment types

[jgmac1106] gwg interesting bug, I do not see the full post kind menu unless I am in classic editor dashboard, do not get post kind options under new drop down menu in the ribbon when logged in
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: On the front end or in the admin?
#
[jgmac1106] on the admin, if you are logged in and have the admin ribbon on SemPress you only see all postkind choices in the ribbon if in dashboard
#
[jgmac1106] would need to verify with other themse to see if it is a plugin or theme issue
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I saw that in one of my tests...I forgot to note an issue so I could investigate
#
[jgmac1106] wonder if it is related to filter issue where you have to visit the post kind menu even after plugin activated
#
[jgmac1106] not a biggie something to get to after you and i hack on the events plugin together
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I think it might be checking to see if it is in the admin

#
[Erik]1 [jgmac1106] Thanks for the info. I've got erikkroes.nl. It's static WordPress

petermolnar what is a static wordpress?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "static wordpress" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "static wordpress is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[Erik]1 I'm considering https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/ but it requires a $50 investment.
#
Loqi [NextScripts] Description This plugin automatically publishes posts from your blog to your Social Media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+(Google Plus), Blogger, Tumblr, Flickr, LinkedIn, ok.ru, LiveJournal, DreamWidth, Flipboard, Instagram, Telegram, Li...
#
[Erik]1 I run WordPress on a local server. When I want to update something, I generate static pages, push them to GitHub, and deploy them on netlify.com.

#
petermolnar interesting approach
#
petermolnar basically you're using WordPress as a desktop editor
#
petermolnar that's actually not a bad use at all
#
[Erik]1 I was thinking it wasn't bad either 😁
#
[Erik]1 I get all the plugins and backend stuff, but no security risks for the database
#
[Erik]1 And I can tinker all I want, which is great
#
GWG The problem is things like webmentions won't work exactly without tweaking
#
GWG [Erik]1: Are you redirecting the rest api to the live site?
#
GWG Because without it, no webmentions, no micropub...
#
GWG Although that may not be what you need

#
[jgmac1106] gwg but he could probably use something like fluffys webmention.js tool if he can get a webmention endpoint in the header
#
[jgmac1106] it is a really neat idea for WP editor to static
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: Of course, there are solutions.
#
GWG Static WP is an option for a lot of things

#
[Erik]1 I think webmentions get updated when I push an update. They're in the backend but I haven't properly put them in the front.
#
[Erik]1 The live site is completely disconnected. No api or anything.
#
[Erik]1 I should put that on my todo-list btw. Fix Webmentions
[tantek] and kingpapa joined the channel
#
GWG [Erik]1: You'd need to have some kind of public receiving endpoint, even if the site is static
nickodd, gRegorLove, [KevinMarks] and [Erik]1 joined the channel
#
[Erik]1 Could be. I have something from september in the backend I see. But no idea where that's from then. I'll reserve some time to check later.
#
[Erik]1 I do think it's really in the spirit of indieweb though. I don't just own my data... I have it on my PC, in my house. What people visit is only copy.

[jgmac1106] gwg in the photo post kind do I have people use the response properties box or the add media tools?
