Empty facepile?

    Hi, first, let me say, this is a very interesting plugin…

    Been playing all day long with webmentions, Bridgy etc.
    Had troubles with Microformats2, that the Twenty Twenty-Three theme didn’t support well, and this plugin added a few useful (if not all) tags… Thx.

    Through my tests, before installing this plugin and modifying my theme, I was able to have a “like” come from Pixelfed to a post I shared to Mastodon.
    I received a 👍 (under a “Likes” header) with a cryptic “Bridgy Response” comment from Pixelfed.

    If I activate the plugin, both the comment, the header and 👍 disappear… as you can see in the linked page above. (comment should be in 8th position, with Likes between existing comments and “Leave a reply”).

    Of course, if I customize the theme, by adding the header and facepile, the header appears (as it “knows” there’s something), but nothing appears below it.

    The “‘Facepile’ bookmarks, likes, and reposts” option is on in settings. If I disable it, both are back. [Yes, I noticed it’s experimental…]

    But,

    <div class="wp-block-indieblocks-facepile-content"><ul class="indieblocks-avatar-size-2"></ul></div></div>

    stays empty.

    What should I test to make it work?

    Sincerely
    DJM

    Hi, sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed this one.

    I see you’re currently using (I think?) the Webmention plugin’s own “facepile option”? (But then it, too, somehow doesn’t seem to “filter out” the 2 “Bridgy responses.”) That’s the “original” Likes header and like you’re seeing. Which I believe can be disabled also in that plugin’s settings.

    But then … the way the Facepile block works is two-fold: There is (1) the option in the plugin’s settings which you need to enable to filter the “regular” comment list (removes likes and such) and adjust the “comment count” accordingly. From what you’re describing, this part seems to work okay.

    And then (2) there’s the Facepile block itself.

    In fact, the Facepile block supports “inner blocks” and by default contains two more blocks: a heading and a so-called “Facepile Content” block. And you’re right: both will (or should) remain hidden if there’s nothing to show. So the fact that the heading shows means it “finds” something.

    So if you add the Facepile block (and, in it, a Facepile Content block) and enable the Facepile setting on the Webmention tab (even if IndieBlocks’ Webmention option is disabled [because you’re using the Webmention plugin]), it should just work.

    I just learned (from a different issue, haha) that it seems to work for others, e.g.: https://nicksimson.com/likes/1e88a68f6a/.

    Anyway, if we assume it indeed finds those likes, then the only reason it doesn’t display them … is it probably can’t “find” an avatar for them. Except I’m not sure why that would happen.

    Hi, will recheck, as I had totally forgotten this (sorry) and many plugins, as well as WP itself, have been updated since.

    Will retest and come back ASAP.

    Ok, just did a quick test and it works fine “now” and solves the problem with “bridgy comments” appearing at the same time with Twenty Twenty-Three. Great!
    Will test further…

    Alright, cool! If you do encounter something, feel free to let me know.

    I don’t normally run the Webmention plugin itself, just IndieBlocks, although I have tested with it in the past. But things change (and eventually break), so …

    Thx, yeah been exchanging with @pfefferle and @dshanske re:other “problems”… from Webmention to ActivityPub or Microformats 2…

    I do many tests (not a dev per se) around Federation and IndieWeb.

    Sincerely

    @janboddez You know @pfefferle and I are happy to work with you on this if you want.
