#
[snarfed] GWG++ for the IndieAuth plugin, its UX is really slick these days, the OAuth prompt is clear and the token mgmt UI are both clear and comprehensive!
#
Loqi GWG has 14 karma in this channel over the last year (57 in all channels)
#
GWG [snarfed]: Thanks. I did a lot of work over the years. I need to do some tweaks for PHP8.
#
[snarfed] GWG welcome! btw is the "Retrieve information" link on each token supposed to do something? it doesn't for me, just loads the same page with no changes
#
GWG It reloads client info for the token.
#
GWG So, probably a better way to show that
#
[snarfed] what does that mean?
#
GWG Clients have a URL. It retrieves the icon and name from the URL
#
[snarfed] ohhhhh
#
[snarfed] yeah definitely not obvious
#
[snarfed] regardless, GWG++ for the plugin overall, it's great
#
GWG It has been a labor of love
#
GWG [snarfed]: It has taken 9 years, but I think all the pieces are starting to converge for me.
#
GWG It is all refinement from here, I hope
#
[snarfed] GWG++
#
GWG Even if I never solve the block thing

[TMichelleMoore] @gwg I am moving on to test the Webmention and Syndication Links but want to wait until your update is done above. I have updated to WordPress 6.2 and thought it would all be a good set of test conditions. Do you think that those updates will be ready this weekend or should I hold off for a bit?
#
GWG [TMichelleMoore]: [pfefferle] and I need to figure out that last update piece before Semantic Linkbacks is gone. But nothing is happening with Syndication Links
#
[TMichelleMoore] @gwg OK, I will work on syndication links. Thank you!
#
GWG I was just reading the WP6.2 release notes to see if I needed to note anything.
#
[TMichelleMoore] I saw a couple of videos but have not delved deeply into all of the new features. I am hoping to take what I learn in this testing and the tip [chrisbergr] gave me on adding the h-entry class to my template and anything new in 6.2 to come up with what was my original goal…making a pattern for an RSVP. I might not need the pattern.
#
GWG Since I focus on under the hood stuff, it would be a different set of things I'd be looking for.
#
GWG Two of the things I proposed got in
#
GWG !tell [pfefferle] My production site is now running 5.0. No issues in migration. Just worked.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] So simply releasing it?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Yes, and add in the backup warning for updates as well as be prepared to quickly release fixes.
#
GWG My only problem involves a customization I myself did, so not something others would be affected by. And it is just a visual one.
#
GWG I had a special version of the comment display for ones that came from webmention that displayed people coming in that way slightly differently. Might try to see if I can recreate that for future.

GWG Here's two webmention based comments. https://david.shanske.com/2023/01/01/why-i-havent-embraced-wordpress-blocks/

GWG Here's Likes and Reposts https://david.shanske.com/2022/11/05/simple-location-5-0-0-for-wordpress-released/
#
GWG Here's both on the same page. https://david.shanske.com/2022/10/26/5665/

Loqi [preview] [David Shanske] Why don’t people wear hats outdoors anymore in large numbers? In the past, it was considered inappropriate to go bareheaded in some contexts.
#
GWG [pfefferle]: What do you think?

#
GWG ?
#
[pfefferle] Nice
#
[pfefferle] Can you write the update notice?
#
[pfefferle] Or do we already have one?
[chrisbergr] joined the channel
#
[chrisbergr] I'm running Version 103.11.0, I guess I won't get an update 🙂
#
[chrisbergr] will this be the last release before the merger?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Will do today.
#
GWG [chrisbergr]: 103 of what?
#
[chrisbergr] Semantic Linkbacks
#
[chrisbergr] I thought that's what you guys were talking about
#
[chrisbergr] • I have turned up the version number to get no updates
#
[pfefferle] We discussed the “merger”
#
[chrisbergr] "merger" is a german word, right? 😄
#
[chrisbergr] So, the upcomming update you are talking about right now is the merge between Linkbacks and Webmention?
#
GWG [chrisbergr]: Correct.
#
GWG Union?
#
GWG Fusion?
#
GWG Zusammenschluss?
#
GWG Verschmelzung?
#
[chrisbergr] Cool, I'm very excited. When that's released, I'll tweak the code again a bit so there's the possibility to use templates that the theme can override. Just like a few years ago, I'll post this on Github again. Maybe this time you'll let some of it flow into the plugin? 🙂
#
GWG [chrisbergr]: Plan to.. I need some of that
#
[chrisbergr] Okay great.
