you should be using a client_id regardless, but it shouldn't be throwing 500 errors

aaronpk: remind me, you said you're trying to standardize all multi-valued micropub properties on array syntax?
#
snarfed
and it looks like the only ones that support multiple values right now are category and syndicate-to?
#
snarfed
ie micropub doesn't support e.g. multi-reply right now?
#
aaronpk
that sounds right
#
snarfed
(fine with me, just checking)

ben_thatmust: How are you doing it from web?
#
Loqi
gRegor`: ben_thatmust left you a message 25 minutes ago: I'm doing it from both
#
aaronpk
multi-reply is a good point
#
aaronpk
there aren't many of us even publishing multi-replies yet, but that seems like another good one for potential array values
#
GWG
snarfed: So the note..will be more careful.
#
snarfed
GWG: ?
#
GWG
snarfed: Syntax error
#
snarfed
aaronpk: or technically multi-like, multi-repost, etc
#
snarfed
since all mf2 props are multi-valued
#
snarfed
anyway not urgent

Loqi
testing has 4 karma
#
snarfed
one reason i like unit tests. should add them to the micropub plugin
#
GWG
snarfed: Got a good article on unit testing? I probably should learn that.
#
GWG
snarfed: I think I'm getting better though
#
aaronpk
i was getting in the habit of writing good tests. mostly just for my libraries though, not full apps.
#
GWG
I'm writing PHP, KevinMarks
#
KevinMarks
resists obvious joke
#
KevinMarks
this is a good article on unit testing and why you do it
#
KevinMarks
translating it into PHP would be a good exercise
#
GWG
Okay. Just checking

I am. I need to test Bridgy Publish capability in Syndication Links tonight.
#
snarfed
great!
#
snarfed
oh actually aaronpk re multi-replies, bridgy publishes them fairly often for twitter
#
snarfed
just fyi
#
aaronpk
how so?
#
aaronpk
oh you mean the bridgy permalinks are multi-replie?
#
snarfed
well all of them i guess, since they're in-reply-to both the original and silo posts
#
aaronpk
hm that isn't really a multi-reply though
#
snarfed
eh debatable, yeah
#
snarfed
but for twitter also sometimes multi-tweet

except maybe for authorize, since it's part of the protocol

unless you meant choosing which *wordpress* user it uses…?
#
snarfed
michielbdejong: sounds like a job for archive team!
#
pfefferle
snarfed but it would be nice if it is kind of a chain, so you might be able to implement other IndieAuth compatible services...
#
Loqi
pfefferle: GWG left you a message 2 hours, 31 minutes ago: Pushed another minor change to Indieweb
#
snarfed
pfefferle: hmm. the indieauth protocol does allow auth providers other than indieauth.com
#
snarfed
…but micropub requires the indieauth protocol. https://indiewebcamp.com/micropub#Authentication
#
ben_thatmustbeme
good morning #indiewebcamp
#
pfefferle
snarfed: if ”žbundled“ login doesn’t work, try … and if this does not work, try next…
#
snarfed
pfefferle: right, i understand the idea, it's just that micropub requires the indieauth protocol. it doesn't currently allow falling back to anything else
#
pfefferle
snarfed yes, but as far as I know IndieAuth is the same as RelMeAuth… and works with every rel-me+OAuth enabled service… am I wrong?
#
pfefferle
snarfed I thought IndieAuth.com is only one possible implementation...
#
snarfed
ah. i think they are all related, yes, but not exactly the same
#
pfefferle
it is not very indy if I can’t choose another one
#
snarfed
right!
#
snarfed
actually, maybe i misunderstand. you're talking about the micropub plugin's use of tokens.indieauth.com?
#
snarfed
so you want to allow delegating to a different token provider?
#
pfefferle
for example
#
snarfed
ok, sure. sorry, i misunderstood

thanks!
#
michielbdejong
snarfed: yes, I also proposed maybe getting the Archive team involved in the Trovebox shutdown https://github.com/photo/frontend/issues/1570
#
pfefferle
but back to business… how do you identify the local user? or does wordpress allow posts without defining a user?
#
michielbdejong
for now we're trying to give people the option to move their instance to IndieHosters
#
michielbdejong
so far, 2 people signed up for that.
#
snarfed
pfefferle: it defaults to the "current" user. not sure how that's determined
#
pfefferle
that means you need a valid session?
#
pfefferle
snarfed I think I have to run some tests this weekend
#
snarfed
pfefferle: i don't think so
#
snarfed
(er, re "valid session")
#
pfefferle
snarfed does that mean that everyone is allowed to post micropubs to your site if he has a token atm?
gmack joined the channel
#
snarfed
pfefferle: sure, that's what a token for. just like if someone has a facebook token for your account, they can post as you on fb
#
pfefferle
snarfed but how can I secure my installation?
#
snarfed
pfefferle: sorry, i don't understand the question
#
snarfed
your installation of the plugin? your installation of a client?
#
pfefferle
if there is no combination between a token and a user, everyone that get’s a token, can post
michielbdejong joined the channel
#
snarfed
ahhhh sure. that's a difference between micropub and wordpress. micropub generally expects a site is single user; wordpress allows multiple
tjgillies joined the channel
#
snarfed
you could set up rel=me and log into indieauth as different paths under the domain for each user
#
snarfed
or you could plug in a new token generator that supports wp users
#
snarfed
i'd happily merge a PR that added a filter to change the user!
#
pfefferle
snarfed what do you think about something similar to https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieauth/
#
pfefferle
it uses the website of the user to identify him…
#
snarfed
oh i see, i misunderstood your question
#
snarfed
it does currently check that the token's web site matches your web site: https://github.com/snarfed/wordpress-micropub/blob/master/micropub.php#L159

#
aaronpk
thinking about our /irc-people page...
#
aaronpk
it's nice that it requires logging in to the wiki to add yourself, but the main issue is that it's duplicating info that should be on your home page
#
aaronpk
right now it's not toooo bad, name, url, photo and timezone
#
ben_thatmustbeme
still a bunch of tantek_'s in here
#
aaronpk
but if we start adding more things like preferred pronouns...
#
aaronpk
would sure be nice if it could pull that from your home page
#
ben_thatmustbeme
that would be ideal, yes
#
aaronpk
so I was thinking, this sounds an awful lot like what we were talking about the other day, setting up an indieweb directory
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well we would still need a directory of some sort
#
aaronpk
you could add yourself to the directory by sending a webmention
#
aaronpk
and if you didn't want that much info on your home page you could even send a webmention from a "bio" page
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk, for that matter could irc-people be built from homepages, anyone who has logged in to the wiki, pull their site and look for p-freenode-name or something
#
aaronpk
that's what i'm thinking, replacing the irc-people page with something that gets info from ppls' home pages
#
aaronpk
i'd still want it to be an explicit action to add yourself to the directory tho
#
aaronpk
not just automatically from anyone who logs in to the wiki, since typically logging in does not have such public effects
#
KevinMarks
logging into the wiki is an explicit action
#
ben_thatmustbeme
indeed, and if they are sharing data on their site, they have to assume that anyone can be pulling it in
#
aaronpk
i'd need to add a big notice on the login page that says "logging in will add yourself to the directory" or something
#
bret
aaronpk: that would be rad
#
KevinMarks
could you preview the extracted hcard on the login page?
#
aaronpk
ha that'd be cool
#
gRegor`
What about /irc-people that can't send a webmention yet?
#
aaronpk
well it sounds like this would not do the webmention thing
#
aaronpk
the act of loggin in to the wiki would trigger it
#
gRegor`
Hm
#
gRegor`
Or maybe logging in + creation of User: page?
#
KevinMarks
hm, actually, that could be an indieauth feature - show the hCard info on the "I just parsed your page, login with what" interstitial
#
ben_thatmustbeme
probably want some way to explicitly trigger it still, when people update their info

Any indieweb examples of a reply and like in one note?

gRegor`
I'm wondering if I can just add u-like-of to the URL in the reply-context. It's nested in an h-cite, so wasn't sure if most implementations would parse it.

gRegor`
Wiki lists http://acegiak.net/2014/03/27/hexington-stand-up-comic-gifskumail-nanjiani/ as a like, reply, and repost, but I don't see the like in the mf2

mine would parse it
