What is Play Post?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Play Post" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Play Post is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#

What is game play?
#
Loqi
A game play or simply play is a passive type of post used to publish a game (digital or otherwise) that you have played https://indieweb.org/game_play
#
beko
Oh. I did use that format twice, iirc.
#
GWG
I pushed a few fixes to it last night, along with a few bug fixes around display and photos.
#
beko
hm. mine look like this at the moment. works for me https://beko.famkos.net/kind/play/
#
GWG
Did you upgrade to the new point version?
#
GWG
Because judging by the page, you have not yet.
#
GWG
It fixed the empty URL issue there
#
beko
Sounds good. Will try tonight
#
GWG
And since I posted many checkins with a photo, I updated the rewrite for that to support a special archive page for photos from all types of posts. https://david.shanske.com/photos/2018/11/

I'd love additional meta fields for games. Similar to how YT does this. Mebbe not PC games specific but some more context would be nice. For books I usually look up the ISBN for example
#
GWG
beko: That was the sort of idea I was looking for. How does YT do it?
#
beko
I dunno. I _guess_ they suggest it based on your title but I'm not a YTer myself.
#
GWG
My next mini project is adding more things to the archives.
#
beko
PeerTube allows live streaming now. That is very interesting. It offers rtmp:// and a token.
#
GWG
For example, now that I've made it so you can see photo only archives from all post kinds, I may retroactively add photos to old checkins.
#
beko
That is really neat. Like onthisday but pictures only. I like it!
#
GWG
And it's all done with rewrites and special queries.
#
GWG
The /photos rewrite actually supports a custom template in your theme as well, to style it
#
beko
Does this keep public/private in mind? Afair photos are not tagged directly in WP and one has to guess based on posts.
#
GWG
Well, private posts are excluded from the query by default unless you are logged in.
#
beko
Good
#
GWG
It's different than sharing your media library publicly. This only shows photos from posts.
#
beko
Sounds good. Not using private posts myself (yet) but don't want to have a nasty surprise here. This happened before.
#
GWG
I had one too.
#
GWG
Not for photos, but a few years back, I imported an old Livejournal into my site, and it triggered my autoposter and was syndicating as if the posts were new.
#
beko
Ye… did you do something like this recently? I've a reader that brings up many of your posts as new again when they are not.
#
beko
oof. Like 1hour ago?
#
GWG
No. I did this in 2014 for posts from 2004
#
GWG
Which posts?
#
GWG
I was updating old posts this week.
#
GWG
I had to fix photo issues.
#
beko
Let's see
#
GWG
They shouldn't show up in my rss or h-feed as new though
