[tw2113_Slack_] hmm, just reminded of https://wordpress.org/themes/default/ and I feel like I need to make somewhat active website in 2021 that uses it
#
[chrisaldrich] Our friend Joseph Dickson upgraded Kubrick for Gutenberg a while back: https://joseph-dickson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Upgrading-Kubrick-for-Gutenberg.pdf. He did a session at a WordCamp a year or so back on the details if you search wordpress.tv for it.
#
[tw2113_Slack_] coincidentally he just responded to me on twitter 11min ago
#
[tw2113_Slack_] though not about kubrick

#
[chee] making an mf2 fork of kubrick seems like a relaxing weekend task
#
[chee] in the Post Kinds plugin, should i be putting my own photo in the "response properties" section when posting a Photo post?
#
[chee] and also for, for instance, *eat*: is the "response properties" the place for the information about the food?
#
[chee] i've been confused by that up until now, maybe it should say "Post Kind Properties" rather than "response"

#
[jgmac1106] gwg quick question for you. Is it possible to have a featured image but not display it? I could just add an OGP kruff plugin and skip featured iamges: http://ctcmmccoalition.com/kind/video/
#
GWG Yes, display is a function of the theme
#
[jgmac1106] so I can just flip a function?
#
[jgmac1106] found it thx
#
GWG Comment out a function, yes

#
[chee] gwg: how much research have you done into the gutenberging of post kinds? and would you be up for chatting about it at some point?
#
GWG [chee]: Not enough, and yes

#
chee nice :) i've been wondering if perhaps a Post Kinds Sidebar would make sense, rather than trying to map it to blocks. it would probably combine the "Kinds" box (as a select box dropdown) and the Response Properties box into one sidebar
#
chee i think as well that it would be possible to build this outside of Post Kinds (treating Post Kinds as a dependency) to begin with
#
GWG chee: As an interim measure, it would.
#
GWG I had thought I would dip my toe into the block editor by adding controls for some of my other plugins. Such as Location. But, too much to do
#
GWG I still want to finish the 5.X branch of Webmentions
#
chee adding a Location block is a good idea
#
chee the issue with blocks for Post Kinds that i see is: you really only want one of any block
#
GWG Correct
#
chee also: you don't want the Post Kinds stuff to be inside "e-content", and you don't want to have the user need to put everything inside a "Content" block
#
GWG Technically, you could do multiple in a single post, but that is really confusing
#
GWG chee: This is why I have so much trouble figuring out the design.
#
chee that's true! i've done multiple h-entries in a post. but for that, i felt OK having to edit the html ^_^
#
chee GWG: i think a sidebar is the right choice
#
chee https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/plugin-sidebar-0/
#
chee you can have a select box for kind, and then based on the value of that you can show all the other fields (the ones that are currently kept in Response Properties in the classic editr)
#
chee then map those to the same meta field values as on the classic editor
#
GWG chee: As an intermediate step, yes.
#
GWG If it turns out to be a final step, that's fine too
#
GWG But at least it will make people who prefer blocks happy.
#
GWG Again, would probably start with something simple.
