[chrisaldrich] cambridgeport90 I've got something like this as a snippet in my functions.php file to fill in a default photo for the JetPack Related posts https://gist.github.com/chrisaldrich/d3b63ca50964328bd72b876a748866d2 It especially comes in handy for many of the bookmark-like Post Kinds which don't have details.
# [chrisaldrich] It would be useful if there were similar snippets to use post kinds data to fill in empty titles with the Post Kinds title (and type) (example: "Bookmark: Title of Article from Post Kinds Name meta") as well as the parsed "Featured Photo" from the Post Kinds meta. What might those look like GWG?
# [chrisaldrich] Evening GWG?
# [chrisaldrich] for dumping into sidebars and in footers I wouldn't mark those up at all as I wouldn't expect parsers to care about them as "tangential" data to the main page.
# [chrisaldrich] in fact, I think on my site, I specifically moved the jetpack related posts out of main content are to keep it specifically hidden....
# [chrisaldrich] though it might be interesting if social readers could pick up some of that for making other recommendations.
# [chrisaldrich] For lack of inclusion of the Post Kinds featured image in reply contexts, I've been using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-url-featured-image/ plugin and sometimes copying over the original post's featured image to display something in my theme. I figure when Post Kinds does it natively I can just turn off the plugin and have reasonable parity for display.
# [chrisaldrich] I suppose that I ought to figure out what the appropriate field name is and plug that into the jetpack gist so I get a custom image for those posts instead of my generic default.
# [chrisaldrich] Most posts do a 4x3 or 9x6 Twitter/Facebook compatible image, so you could start there as a default, though some sites like IMDb return a default small square avatar when nothing else exists, so you might get some janky results depending on the meta data a particular site returns.
# [chrisaldrich] GWG, did you ever figure out the Jetpack IndieAuth fix? Or were they making a change on their end that we're still waiting for?
# [chrisaldrich] I should retest it on my site then...
