GWG I updated to new Post Kinds (3.4.1) and am getting an error when I publish where the only thing that remains on the screen is Response Properties. If this is not a know issue with a fix I have overlooked, I am happy to log an issue with more information.
#
GWG
[mrkrndvs]: Please do
#
GWG
I'll try to fix it ASAP
#
GWG
Do you have an error message?
#
[mrkrndvs]
Yep, will post it all as an issue. Thanks as always for your work
#
GWG
[mrkrndvs]: How is it working for you otherwise?

I thought I got all the bugs out of Post Kinds
#
GWG
Oh well. Another one to handle

GWG there have been a few things of late I have been wondering in regards to Post Kinds, but I just haven't organised myself to put them down in writing. Some wondering are the increase of 'Object object' is some fields (i think you referenced this in regards to the author url in the recent podcast) and the deletion of information when WordPress refreshes my login session.
#
GWG
[mrkrndvs]: That is what I rewrote the code for...well, part of it. I was trying to simplify it and I did, but the part that does the Post UI I tried to do the least with, but still fix it.
#
GWG
I'm reproducing your post on my test site now.
#
GWG
I see the problem.
#
GWG
DateTime vs datetime string
#
GWG
[mrkrndvs]: There you are, fixed.
#
GWG
I missed a, if string not DateTime, convert to DateTime
#
GWG
Wonder if anything else needs fixing
#
[mrkrndvs]
I will test and let you know. Thank you.
#
GWG
It's pushed to Github.
#
GWG
I'll see if there is anything else before pushing to wordpress.org
#
[tw2113]
we appreciate you David
#
GWG
There. Pushed

That has fixed the issue as far as I can tell. Thank you GWG

[chrisaldrich] I am sorry that I wasn't able to attend the Indieweb Friendly WordPress Themes session today. I appreciate that you and @GWG offer these!
#
[chrisaldrich]
no problem [Will_Monroe], we're recording it so you should be able to attend asynchronously.
#
[Will_Monroe]
[chrisaldrich] that's great! I'll look forward to that. I looked over the Etherpad notes and saw some of the guidance provided (ie, renaming conventions for WP elements) as well as some of the WP themes people were working on. Good stuff. I liked the Spacious theme that Tracy is working on.

I'm working on fleshing out the Etherpad notes at the moment, so there should be more details to follow there as well.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Perhaps GWG or I (or both) will write up some additional details to better outline and allow people to implement changes to themes as well....
#
[chrisaldrich]
I have to say, I learned way more than I expected to in this morning's pop-up session. Sparked a lot of interesting ideas for follow up on as well as potentially two or three forthcoming posts.

[jeremycherfas] if you have a particular day/time that might work well for you and some of us here in the Americas, we should schedule a specific session to work on that comment section question about how to implement facepiles and other indieweb goodness into WordPress sites. I've got an issue with RSVP's not facepiling in my theme either.
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, do you need to add anything else specific to the etherpad shortly, or should I archive it to the wiki now?
#
GWG
I'm fine.. just reminding you about the photo
#
[chrisaldrich]
Once the video is posted, I'll rewatch and add some additional notes...
#
[chrisaldrich]
I had just opened up the events page to do just that
#
GWG
I will do that tonight

Missed the pop-up but in related news I did make an attempt at Gutenberg mf2 support and through a mix of custom blocks, extensions and hacks I have a sort of proof of concept that seems like it might work
#
GWG
[grantcodes]: I am curious, even though I'm still avoiding Gutenberg
#
[grantcodes]
I think a lot of it would still need to be done in php. I've not dove into the existing mf2 plugin but I imagine it does a bunch of the things I attempted to do far better 😅
#
[grantcodes]
So at the moment I only have one custom block for a "url" property eg in-reply-to like-of etc. And it uses variations to make those easy to create.
#
GWG
[grantcodes]: I thought you could add php-mf2 to parse blocks
#
[grantcodes]
I also extended the core media blocks to add mf2 classes
#
[chrisaldrich]
[grantcodes]++ for making the attempt!

h-entry and h-feed done in the theme with some of the smaller bits done in the content shouldn't be too hard.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Having some blocks that do reply contexts with the appropriate microformats for bookmarks, reads, watches, etc. that essentially replicate post kinds functionality would get us a long way....
#
[grantcodes]
Then did some parsing the blocks in php to try and wrap content in e-content and remove mf2 classes from media inside content. (Which is making assumptions)
#
[chrisaldrich]
that sounds awesome Grant.
#
[grantcodes]
Then I did the wp meta data in a dirty way with hidden data elements
#
[grantcodes]
But seems to work not bad with twentytwenty

Is there a repo we can test out/play around with?
#
[grantcodes]
Nah not yet. I'll remove some of the junk and upload it tomorrow. Very much try on a test site at your own risk though for now.
