Playing with the Location block a bit. #IndieBlocks #Gutenberg

Just thinking … If you only used IndieBlocks’ “notes” for plain-text statuses, and only used its “like” custom post type for bookmarks (and renamed its slug to `bookmarks`) and replaced the Like block in its template for a Bookmark block … then you’d have added both a Twitter clone and a Delicious clone to your WordPress blog.

Anyway, that’ll be all.

Tried to improve #IndieBlocks’ title block rendering a bit.

I.e., when enabled, the plugin’s microformats “module” will filter certain core blocks, add bits of HTML (“microformats”) to them. And I think I made the Post Title block just a little better.

Way more code, too, dangit. And I _still_ have to resync (or at least check if a resync is in order) with core’s render functions.

Realizing the way I typically set up WordPress URLs (using a so-called permalink front that matches my “non-home” “blog page”) may not be all that great after all, as it affects, well, nearly all URLs. I work around that for IndieBlocks’ notes and likes, and it can be worked around even for author archives (through a filter). Except, e.g., the ActivityPub plugin doesn’t like filtered author URLs (because it needs them to _never_ change).

Wrote something real quick on how I set up https://build.boddez.net, a (currently very empty) block-enabled (micro)blog. (I will eventually move over my site, too.)

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.

Added the most basic h-event, h-recipe, and h-review support to IndieBlocks. (Read: If it encounters, e.g., `dt-start` or `p-rating`—all of which you’d still have to enter by hand—it’ll add one of these as a post class, rather than “just” `h-entry`.)

Working on a Facepile “theme” block for IndieBlocks, which would show a post’s “like,” “bookmark,” and “repost” webmentions. Doesn’t support the Webmention plugin, yet. (It does work with IndieBlocks’ webmentions, which use a slightly different set of custom fields, etc.)

Yay! Another #Gutenberg issue that’s existed for years. https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11681

Context: I want to lock down IndieBlocks’ like, but allow (any) `InnerBlocks` inside the new “like” block. This would allow me to add the necessary `.h-cite` and `.e-content` classes in _just_ the right spots, while allowing users to add as many paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and whatnot without mucking up the post’s microformats.

This may be outdated soon and thus should likely be a blog post, but hey. https://indieblocks.xyz/documentation/structuring-notes-and-likes/

(Yes, it could use screenshots and even code examples.)

TL;DR: Structuring HTML (and microformats) is “simple but not easy.”

New, slightly _less_ flexible blocks will (hopefully) ease the pain.

#indieblocks #indieweb #plugins #webmention #wordpress

I have looked at a bunch of different #WordPress plugins in order for my website to interact in different ways on the #Fediverse, primarily #mastodon. You have the #indieweb collection of plugins and plugins that @pfefferle has built along with the plugin collection that @jan is building with #indieblocks

What is the collection of plugins that you’ve landed on for you personal and brand websites & why?

Looks like there are a lot of options with some overlap as well

Just switched my _other_ blog to Brian Garnder’s Powder theme, and guess what? All microformats still in place! Only thing I had to do was hop in there and enable the post date block to _always_ link to single articles. (Because _note titles_ are hidden, so are the permalinks inside the heading elements.) Had to do that 3 or 4 times, but I can live with that.
