GWG [chrisaldrich]: Just fixed duration saving from URL in the classic editor for Post Kinds. It was part of a review of your 2017 request.
#
[chrisaldrich] 🎉
#
[chrisaldrich] more reason to upgrade!
[tw2113_Slack_] and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
GWG It was finding it, but there was an issue with it saving.
#
beko huh - looks like post kind video no longer adds video tags o0 I just get the plain url of the video file printed out
#
GWG Ypi
#
GWG You'll have to be more specific
#
[chrisaldrich] I tweaked my set up so that my syndicated copies of posts to mastodon social give credit to my site as the posting agent. I'm not seeing a way to actively link it back, so posts default to the mastodon.social instance when clicked though. May have to look at pulling back the permalink to put into Syndication Links next.
#
beko https://beko.famkos.net/2020/01/01/boomstick/ so?
#
GWG That's interesting. Haven't touched anything there. It should do the video tag.
#
GWG Let me try a test with 5.6
#
beko Parse This comes back with "Content Type Not Supported"
#
beko Need the complete JSON reply?
#
GWG This was uploaded to your media library?
#
GWG If so, click the Upload or Select Media button to include it
#
beko done, didn't change
#
beko huh. Got a Undefined variable: args wp-content/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/includes/class-kind-view.php on line 218
#
beko That's only on re-attaching though
#
GWG Let me do some testing. Making some fixes now
#
beko 👍 let me know if you need any tests/info/data
#
GWG beko: I'm just happy someone is using the video stuff
#
beko not so much. made way more videos before going IndieWeb
#
GWG !tell pfefferle Any chance you might be able to review the IndieAuth pr? Want to put it on the calendar.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG beko: Anything burning issues while I work?
#
beko no not at all
#
GWG Great.

#
[pfefferle] GWG sorry, I was sick this week
#
Loqi [pfefferle]: GWG left you a message 42 minutes ago: Any chance you might be able to review the IndieAuth pr? Want to put it on the calendar.
#
[pfefferle] I will have a look
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Hope you feel better soon
#
GWG I just hadn't heard from you.
#
GWG Wanted to touch base.
#
GWG Still want to figure out Webmentions at some point
#
[pfefferle] yes, I was away from all my devices for at least a week
#
GWG Hope you and yours are well
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Glad you are on the mend though.
#
[pfefferle] translates “on the mend”
#
[pfefferle] ah, thanks a lot 🙂
#
[pfefferle] yea, I feel much better now
#
GWG [pfefferle]: In the process of healing, but not fully healed
#
[pfefferle] thanks
#
[pfefferle] thats exactly what google translate meant 😉
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Anything you have planned in the future with WP?
#
GWG I saw some ActivityPub stuff
#
[pfefferle] yes, there were a lot of unreleased changes
#
[pfefferle] I now work for the WordPress department at the hoster I work for and was involved in the hosting community and some antispambee stuff
#
[pfefferle] so I had not that many time to work in my indieweb stuff
#
[pfefferle] but I plan to have a look at the webmention plugin between the years
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I saw you contributing to antispambee.
#
GWG I follow that project
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I'm here(isolating due the pandemic) and would love to see if we could find a way forward.
#
[pfefferle] yea, I saw an issue from you
#
GWG So I want to look at the code as well
#
[chrisaldrich] [pfefferle] did you see the reader tool that swentel made for Drupal using ActivityPub? Might be something interesting to port to WordPress?
#
[chrisaldrich] https://realize.be/blog/personal-reader-drupal if it's something you might find interesting
#
GWG I have ideas I want to pursue in multiple projects
#
Loqi [swentel] A personal reader for Drupal [video]
#
[pfefferle] just wanted to ask for a link 🙂
#
[chrisaldrich] I haven't spun up a version of Drupal to test it out yet, but it looks interesting.
#
[pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] sounds interesting!
#
GWG Webmention templates, new facepile code, etc after the low level code is done.
#
GWG In Indieauth, appropriating some of the Application Password code
#
GWG Etc
#
[pfefferle] GWG yes! we can refactor the whole templating, now that you can pass vars!
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Exactly.
#
GWG It's an exciting change
#
[pfefferle] so that themes/plugins can overwrite things
#
[pfefferle] yea
#
GWG And avatar caching.
#
[pfefferle] yes, give me some days, to check back into the code and then lets chat a bit!
#
GWG So, lots of potential things
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I'm here.
#
GWG I'm locked up with my parents still, so I have some free time
#
[pfefferle] yes, I read your comment
#
GWG Send me a message any time you want to talk
#
[pfefferle] I fear backwards compatibility or interfering with other plugins if we use placeholders instead of links
#
GWG I'll be doing bug fixes on plugins, which I always do in between launching something new
#
GWG [pfefferle]: i understand, just trying to figure out best practices.
#
[pfefferle] perhaps we should keep the origin URL in the avatar field and add a `avatar_cache` option
#
[pfefferle] to have a fallback and or to updated cached files
#
GWG That would probably work.
#
GWG I did want to look at a job to update old ones
#
[pfefferle] yes exactly
#
[pfefferle] but it can always run asyncronous
#
[pfefferle] we always only save the avatar and the cron caches the file and adds the avatar_cache option
#
GWG [pfefferle]: That was what I was thinking.
#
GWG Although I had some wp-cron issues lately with webmentions.
#
[pfefferle] nice
#
GWG I changed the wp-cron on my server to run on a systemd timer every 3 minutes because I found myself waiting too long when doing testing
#
beko same. Mentions do not go out.
#
GWG beko: It's why one of my projects I'd like to consider is better outgoing logging.
#
GWG But the trigger for webmentions is the same trigger Core uses for pingbacks, so it should work
#
GWG And the code that generates the webmention search was in the plugin before I got the same code into core
#
GWG So, I don't know how to troubleshoot what may be a fundamental Core issue
#
GWG What I thought of doing was adding a trigger that just sends queued webmentions and having that run separately
#
beko :thumbsup:
#
GWG I hope the idea helps. At the least, it might allow finer grained updates
#
GWG And async webmentions

#
beko same with ActivityPub btw. Stream dead since Oct or Nov.
#
beko syndication via bridgy/POSSE provider works however. And recieving Webmentions too
#
beko Oh. ActivityPub 0.11.1 fixed that. Introduced a new bug though: Posting _without_ tags results in the string '%tags%' in the post [pfefferle]
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] oh, this is inconsistent it should be %hashtags%
#
[pfefferle] @beko update on the way
