[pfefferle] Hey Dan, this is no classic WordPress support channel. This channel is mostly about how to bring WordPress to the IndieWeb!
#
GWG Hi, [pfefferle]
#
[pfefferle] hey GWG
#
GWG [pfefferle]: How was your thing?
#
[pfefferle] [Dan] if you need classic WordPress support, I would recommend the http://WordPress.org Forum https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
#
[pfefferle] [dshanske] it still is!
#
[pfefferle] 🙂
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Oh, hope you are having an interesting time then
#
[pfefferle] definitely!
#
GWG I'll probably keep sending you PRs though. I'm trying to do bug fixes and such all around.
#
[pfefferle] maybe I have some time tomorrow while waiting on the train and on my way home!
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I just always feel bad when I think I'm burying you in them.
#
GWG And the gang in -dev gave me an idea on how to make web sign-in even better.
#
[pfefferle] nice
#
[pfefferle] I am curious
#
GWG Right now, the way that a website figures out how to connect the returned identity from an indieauth endpoint is by comparing the User URL to the me property returned.
#
GWG That's a bit fragile because the user has to set up the User URL to match exactly. And it's a field used for other things.
#
GWG I want to make that work a bit better, and there was an idea of someone, while logged at the site, authenticating to the endpoint, and that flow would cache the connection between the endpoint's identity and the local account.
#
GWG Have to brainstorm this a bit more
#
GWG I also want to update the ticket flow once all the other stuff is merged. And experiment with a simple way of doing protected stuff unlocked with a token
#
GWG Essentially, if status is private, then not only can an admin see it, but any user whose ID is in an audience meta property. And then I can issue tickets as well as let people use them
#
GWG Don't want to do anything big because there are plenty of plugins that do logged in user content.. it would be impossible to integrate with all of them
#
GWG Maybe a user taxonomy to do groups rather than individuals
#
GWG If I can't figure out a simple way to add that I may postpone
