Notes tagged “indieweb”

Been playing with the Webmention plugin a bit. Seems you have to register CPTs with explicit trackbacks support for them to be able to receive mentions. Also made IndieBlocks’ Facepile block work with them, in an MVP-sort-of way. Think I’m going to just hardcode this bit, rather than make it configurable.

I was just asked if IndieBlocks can support a tumblelog-like site (A: Yes!) and … I’d completely forgotten there is in fact a simple setting for this. https://github.com/janboddez/indieblocks/issues/86

I, uh, wrote this: IndieBlocks 0.6.2 Released.

Didn’t go into too much detail; I’d rather focus on overhauling the docs.

Although I’ll likely not use Syndication Links myself, I added a bit of code to Share on Mastodon that adds the Mastodon URL to SL’s list of links. Still figuring out how to best create a “syndication links” block. Like, I obviously want to also include Pixelfed URLs. So do I add it to the Mastodon plugin, or the Pixelfed one? Both? A separate plugin? Aargh.

You should probably not add “No Title” to your titleless “IndieWeb” notes. Even if your site’s front end doesn’t show these “titles,” your RSS feed still might. Which would cause feed readers to display these notes as “articles,” i.e., with a title (equal to “No Title”).

This right here.

Your home on the Internet? Get a website. Looking for interaction? Add comments (or Webmention).

“Quote toots?” Look at what I’m about to do instead:

The more I look at this “issue” the more I’m convinced the solution is already right there and it’s called the web.

This!

Choice is at the core of the IndieWeb approachability and accessibility challenge. […] I think there’s a place for more opinionated guides to the IndieWeb[.]

Created a website for IndieBlocks. Hoping to eventually add proper documentation (the end-user kind, with screenshots and stuff), and code snippets and so on.

Now, to actually bring the (released version of the) plugin in line with the Getting Started guide. 😬

The new IndieBlocks settings screen(s). 😬

Yes! My IndieBlocks plugin is now up on WP.org. Current version offers a single “Context” block, and, optionally, (1) some custom post types, and (2) the ability to add microformats2 to block-based (!) themes. More is on the way. https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/

Tested it on a nearly empty site with the Blockbase theme, and things like an h-entry’s post type and very basic h-card information is being picked up fine.

Testing my “all-in-one” “IndieWeb” plugin for WordPress with the new 6.1 beta and Twenty Twenty-Three. Seems to work OK, but I’m wondering why my “site doesn’t support the core/post-author-name block.” Like, I knew about the post author block … Of course, you’ve got to install Gutenberg! Makes perfect sense for the new default theme to not work without a plugin.

Somewhat inspired by https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2022/09/wordpressindieweb-as-the-os-of-the-open-social-web/, I did some experimenting with WordPress’s new Full Site Editor. The result is this, still very hacky, Twenty Twenty-Two child theme. https://github.com/janboddez/tt2-mf2

Hoping to update my “IndieWeb plugin” with basic block support. Fixing core would be even better.

Either way, themes will need to update, too.

And, after yesterday’s Webmention package, a basic IndieAuth package for Laravel.

Been toying with Laravel a bit more. Decided to split off some Webmention functionality into a package of its own, https://github.com/janboddez/laravel-webmention. There’s two classes here that matter, one for receiving (Http\Controllers\WebmentionController), and one for sending (WebmentionSender). Hoping to add a parser of sorts later, and some CLI/Artisan commands.
