After you connect your Swarm account, OwnYourSwarm will send all your Swarm checkins to your Micropub endpoint.
This is in light of the GDPR :)
It would be nice if there was some sort of switch in OwnYourSwarm, that would disable the backfeed of replies and likes done by actual people, as opposed to the webmentions sent to syndicate stickers and coins given out by Swarm itself.
It might be nicer to have the backfeed as opt-in instead of opt-out, don’t know if you agree on that one.
show latest checkins
show count of total checkins
It turns out some people (myself included) will continue to add photos even after the first is added. Right now, OYG stops polling for photos as soon as one is found
Seems like when someone else checks me in (like you did here), the post is created on my site. If I then check myself in, adding a text and a photo, Swarm upgrades your checkin of me to add the details of my own checkin.
But, on my site, it seems like the photo got through (probably the photo polling) but the text did not.
I don't have logs for Micropub requests, unfortunately, so I can't check if it tried.
When the checkin includes coins awarded from the app, send those as webmention comments on the checkin. See https://aaronparecki.com/2017/03/07/19/ for an example.
This should wait until the polling in #2 is finished.
The realtime API does not report checkins made while "offline" or via the "forgot to check in" feature. A polling task is needed in order to backfill these checkins.
Just adding it here.
Since the new update, checkins show the venue where the venue is inside. (Previously, it just showed the venue you checked in to, like "Platform 1", now it says "Platform 1 at Central Station".)
I don't know how to solve this in Microformats, but I do like the display.
I will investigate and figure out where the problem lies
Hi.
My check in looks like this...
<p>Checked into <a class="h-card p-location" href="h">h</a>.</p>
<div class="e-content">
Checked in at Swenson's
</div>
...whereas my previous check in, using the simple method, looked like this
<p>Checked into <a class="h-card p-location" href="https://foursquare.com/v/4ad4bff2f964a520d4e920e3">Blossom Music Center</a>.</p>
<div class="e-content">
Imagine Dragons - Josh's first concert!
</div>
Seems to be adding the description to the e-content instead of the h-entry. Is this Swarm/Foursquare not passing the info along, or something wrong OwnYourSwarm? I am also getting duplicate postings, but that's happening in Swarm.
I think I found a bug, related to #36.
I checked in at the wrong venue this morning, so I deleted my checkin on Swarm.
Now I see Swarm made both https://seblog.nl/2018/11/03/2 and https://seblog.nl/2018/11/03/3 (so instead of deleting it, it posted it twice). The interesting thing is that only the second one has Swarm's webmention with coins.
(I might mark these posts as deleted as soon as I found out how I made that work)
Swarm object has a category for the venue... suggesting that the singular version be in the post as a p-category.
From indieweb/wordpress-micropub#56 (comment)
If the micropub endpoint doesn't handle the checkin object, provide some fallback way of passing along that data.
This will make it possible to import past checkins using a local script instead of building everything server-side.
There is this message on my dashboard and the possibility to disconnect the other accounts
This Foursquare account is connected to 1 other OwnYourSwarm accounts.
Is there a possibility to display the other accounts? I have so many test sites and real sites set up that it would be very interesting to see where else I have included this. -I can't remember.
Since Swarm photos are uploaded to Swarm after the checkin is created, it's possible that the app will receive the initial checkin ping from Swarm before the photo is there.
Create a polling mechanism to continue looking at the checkin for a photo until it appears or until some timeout.
I get that this is the core feature of OwnYourSwarm, but it would be great to have the possibility to deactivate the auto post. -Like all the other toggles on the dasboard.
I have the strange problem that the location data is not transferred in the auto post. With the manual import everything works smoothly.
I'm assuming it's a problem on my end, but until I figure that out, the feature is creating some chaos.
I've been posting my check-ins as the simple html form-encoded format successfully to my site hosted at Manton Reece's Micro.blog, but when I try the JSON request I get the error:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: nginx/1.6.2
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2017 12:44:12 GMT
Content-Type: application/json

Connection: keep-alive
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
{"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"No content or photo."}
I'm afraid I don't know enough to tell whether this is a problem originating at the OwnYourSwarm end or if it's just that Micro.blog does not support checkins like this. Apologies for raising it here if it's a Micro.blog issue!
I'd love to use OwnYourSwarm, but I don't have a Micropub site to publish to. As a result, I cannot figure out how to configure credentials.json with the appropriate information.
if the user has their account set to "simple" mode, the webmention text should include the coin number, since they probably won't be recognizing the custom mf2 coin property in this case.
OwnYourSwarm is finding my checkins, but can't get them to my micropub endpoint, because it's missing an access token.
I may have skipped over a request for a token in the browser while setting it up, although I'm not sure. But I can't find any way to add a token now. I can sign out and sign back in, but there's no prompt for a token this time.
When someone connects a new site, and OwnYourSwarm gets an error from their Micropub endpoint, it needs to give an indication of this so they can try to fix it.
When the checkin includes an event, the Micropub JSON request should include the event info in the payload. However it is not obvious what the correct representation of that should be. More brainstorming is happening on the IndieWeb wiki: https://indieweb.org/checkin#Checking_in_to_Events
If Swarm has who checked you in, pass that along to Micropub.
Bridgy sets a comment agent, which is handy for auto approving comments. It would be great if OWS did this as well.

I noticed that for one of my checkins, the associated event data was found in the Swarm object, but isn't put into the h-entry object. It would be great if that could be added somewhere.
I'm trying to get to work with my Wordpress site. Own Your Swarm says my account has been diesabled because the micropub endpoint has returned too many errors. When I use the indieauth plugin and run a test, I get Deprecated: filter_input(): explicit use of FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED and FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED is deprecated in /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.starshipchangeling.net/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/indieauth/authdiag.php on line 30
OwnYourSwarm should post a location=geo:...... URI.

Support deletes from Swarm -> your site e.g.:
Turns out my IndieAuth-flow is broken. Quill gives the following error:
indieauth_error
The authorization code was not able to be verified
OwnYourSwarm, however, just redirects me to the homepage, without any message (and also not logged in).
I think it's because this else is setting $token['auth'] to false, so the next if is not being executed (as it should), but also the error-state is not being checked.
when a checkin is updated, such as when adding a photo, the swarm comments change, e.g. how many coins are awarded for a photo. The current way this works means sometimes duplicate webmentions will be sent to the post after the checkin is updated, and the webmentions have different source URLs. This can be fixed one of two ways:
When I was using Known build 0.9.9 (3 days ago) I did a couple of checkins using this, and it worked only after manually importing the post.
Upgrading to 0.9.9-a it doesn't post automatically or by manual import, though the 'IndiePub' tab in Known shows it connected.
I revoked 2 instances in Known. Logged out from OYS. Logged back in and saw the token appear in Known.
The OYS dashboard is collecting my checkins, but 'Import Past Checkin' doesn't post anything to my site. Preview payload all looks fine too.
I reset a past checkin and then import. Still nothing on my site.
Off-the-grid checkins have a property in the checkin: private: true.
Provide a toggle for the user to choose between two behaviors for off-the-grid checkins:
visibility=private https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#VisibilityCurrently the createdBy info of the Swarm Checkin object isn’t included in the h-entry checkin object that’s sent to the µpub endpoint.
At the moment, off the grid checkins (does anyone use them?) are treaded like any other checkin, resulting in a public checkin on your own site and a private checkin on Swarm.
I suppose this one needs some more research for how to make a private post via Micropub.
Possible option would be visibility=private. This is how Wordpress calls it now (see https://indieweb.org/post_status)
Few questions to be answered:
I have a single micro.blog account but with multiple domains. I’ve signed in with one, and checkins start going to the correct blog, but then randomly start going to the main blog instead. This has happened multiple times and I’m at a loss on how to troubleshoot this.
Foursquare will report a "fuzzed" location for some checkins, such as checkins to private "home" venues. No street address is included, and the latitude/longitude reported are different from the actual location. https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/responses/venue
I haven't had issues with any other checkins. From what I can tell my endpoint is never being hit by OwnYourSwarm in my logs. The only thing I can tell that's different in my most recent checkin is that I added a hashtag (#nanowrimo17) I don't know if the # is somehow messing up ownyourswarm and it's breaking before getting pushed to my server?
