Hi @Hubzilla Development, I'm looking at the theme system again. This time I want to figure out how much of the generated HTML can be changed through a custom theme and it's template file.

Currently I'm wondering why the navigation dropdown exists twice in the navbar_default.tpl. I have an idea but …

http://view/tpl/navbar_default.tpl

And I wonder what those three variables represent:

<div class="collapse d-lg-none" id="navbar-collapse-2">
{{$channel_app}}
{{$navbar_app}}
{{$nav_app}}

I did some trial-and-error but still cannot say which "type" is what.
Any simple explanation?

I try to support new user in the networks comming from G+.

Their target is to stay connected to their old friends from G+ moving into all kinds of the federation and or fediverse.
They've setup lists who went to which service with which handle (yup, the most don't care about privacy).

What happens now is: they start to send now friendship request to stay connected.

One of the user landed on hub.libranet.de running 3.8.RC2.2
Addon infrastructure changed and he's unable to send friendship requests to diaspora user.
Error message is: "channel discovery failed".

Is it a bug? Or did I something wrong when I installed the "Diaspora Protocol" App?
I ask cause all my systems still on stable branch.

The other way it works: I can add on my diaspora account a hubzilla channel to an aspect and get a friendship request at hub.libranet.de. And the subscription of hashtags works also.

He/She might need to install the diaspora protocol app

yes, I will advise the newbies.
It's right now that from geraspora.de the registration is closed, is a lucky circumstance - so no new user will registrate there.

So much time and energy wasted. This pisses me off.

Diaspora, GNU Social and ActivityPub protocols are enabled on hub.libranet.de. If you want to use them for your channel you need to activate (install) the corresponding apps at hub.libranet.de/apps/available like @Mario Vavti already pointed out.

I have created an addon to ease the transition to 3.8 a little. See here: https://hub.somaton.com/display/28df939665c0cf67bc33e49

There are two pending merge request to make this work:
https://framagit.org/hubzilla/addons/merge_requests/146
https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/merge_requests/1340

Obviously those should be merged to the 3.8RC branch...

I got started testing & merging earlier today but had something come up. I will take a look later this evening and get it merged in.

Sorry, spent several hours tracking down a queue problem on my Osada instance. Now I have a pounding headache and it's almost midnight, so unless someone else picks it up and takes a peek, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry....

(I took a quick look, but didn't get a chance to actually test it - I like the concept and the structure! Nice work!)

Get Together (Meetup.com self hosted) adding ActivityPub and iCal integration for events

See this demo instance. It would be handy to sync Events between Hubzilla and Get Together. Also, to authenticate to Get Together from Hubzilla. This is currently being discussed on Github as noted in the wiki entry below. Dev chat is taking place on Gitter here.

[ sunjam ] ActivityPub Integration Possibilities - Home

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 23:56:38 +0000

Shouldn't have to do much of anything for basic integration. Hubzilla events are ActivityPub compatible iirc and iCal import/export is provided. Note that events over ActivityPub hasn't really been tested because there were no existing compatible implementations when I did this over a year ago. The Osada project has a few significant improvements in ActivityPub event handling, so if you *do* see any issues, you can look there for fixes. Hubzilla also supports OAuth2. Recurring events in iCal feeds may be an issue, because these aren't supported in the Hubzilla calendar. Work was begun on this several years ago, but it really needs somebody to grab the torch and start running.

Is it possible to hide some selected dropdown-items from public view (logged off view)?
e.g.:

Not at the moment. It would be a rather simple addon to accomplish this though...

it's very easy on the theme leve. i've changed some of those links and added blocks here & there by changing only a few lines of code.

Gitlab CI

I spent some time tinkering with the gitlab ci and eventually got some positive results :smile_cat:

It's still far away from what @Klaus had implemented at Hubzilla's former github repository via travis, but it's a start...

Since i am trying to get into the habit of letting my contributions to Hubzilla review by a fellow contributor, here is my MR: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/merge_requests/1332

Personally, I dont know enough about the ci system and so can't validate it at all. I say if it works, go for it! We can always tweak it later.

Missing Support Channels for Admins and for Users

Cyrille Wolfgang Franke

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 14:18:04 +0000

Hello,

being new to Hubzilla as a user and admin. I am missing a support channel for users and a support channel for admins. Are there no official channels for these groups?

This channel, as far as I understand, seems only dedicated to developers.

Cheers,
Cyrille

You want to connect to support@zotadel.net though that hub appears to be down at the time of writing.

Unexpected Logouts

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 01:52:26 +0000

!Hubzilla Support Forum !Hubzilla Development

For the last day or two I've experienced unexpected logouts from my 3.8RC instance. Most notably if I remotely log into another hub, I need to log into my home hub again afterward. This occurs even if I select "Remember Me" on the login screen. Not sure where to start looking for what may have changed - so any hints would be helpful. It started "recently" - but I'm not sure how recently.

@M. Dent my install is 3.8RC - 1221 and it work fine for me. Just clicked over to your profile and then Take Me Home... I'm still logged in.

Hmm... maybe should try in a different browser? I was using Chrome.

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 13:48:14 +0000

I'm on 1224 using Brave currently. I'll check browsers - though I've been using Brave fine for quite a while.

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 16:00:57 +0000

I wonder, is it possible that session timeouts had not been reliably enforced and now they are? I don't know. Just grasping at straws. It isn't 100% reproducible which makes it really hard to track down and very frustrating.. I guess just consider this a data-point in case there are other reports in the future.

Publicity Planning - Release of 3.8

!Hubzilla Advocacy

As things progress for the release of Hubzilla 3.8, I'd like to gather together ideas and hopefully people to work together on publicity to surround the release. Over the next few days, I intend to present a question or two each day that will help gather material and refine some strategies and content for the effort. JOIN IN! HELP OUT!

To start with, let's think about how Hubzilla is ALREADY in use and what it's used for. Share your Hubzilla story below. What do you use Hubzilla for? How does it help you day to day? What projects are you planning to implement using Hubzilla? Why are you drawn to Hubzilla? What has Hubzilla replaced in your tool chain?

It doesn't have to be a technical, "how-to" (though, that may be a fun project too!). Just a paragraph or two that tells others how YOU use Hubzilla and what benefits you derive from Hubzilla.

And if you are still developing your project - why are you developing using Hubzilla? What does Hubzilla bring to the table that other platforms and systems do not?
