Open (public) forum to discuss Buoy. See https://github.com/betterangels/buoy/issues for work to pick up!
@havengoer Thanks for the log! I don't think your specific configuration is at fault and, if it is related in some way, it's worth detecting whatever might have caused that, in code. More likely than not, something in Leaflet or WordPress has changed recently and I just haven't kept up because, bluntly, no one is resourcing me to do this work and I cannot do it reliably without such resourcing. I appreciate you adding detail to @the-phoebe's ticket with the log file you attached. When I have some time to do so, I'll take a look at it in more depth. I cannot promise or predict when that might be, though. :(
I'm actually working on WP-LDAP right now, which is intended for Activist Network Platform and thus, hopefully, a precursor to Buoy for larger-scale orgs.
@havengoer You might consider hopping into the Better Angels' general chatter channel, too, even if just to lurk for a while. A lot of tech/coding mentoring/education goes on in there.
Hahaha, remember when people were telling me I was not being reasonable when I decided to use SMS-to-email gateways for the Team Chat feature? Welp, check out Delta.chat, an end-to-end encrypted messenger that uses IMAP as its transport (using AutoCrypt with OpenPGP). I just tested it out and it's pretty slick, actually. I feel half-vindicated.
it's actually amazing :D
Hi @LizPrescott, at the moment all of my energy has gone towards more foundational projects (see Glocal ANP and numerous recent discussions in the Better Angels general chatter room, along with my GitHub activity feed), so I haven't touched Buoy code in several months. This means it's exactly where we left it, and the first place to look would be the issues labelled
good first issue in the issue tracker.
So…it's basically your show if you want it to be. Otherwise, hang here (and in the Better Angels general chatter room) and, um, have fun with us. :)
I think I'm getting confused.
And if I'm not mistaken this https://wordpress.org/plugins/buoy/ says there are 20 active installs
I would think that if you wanted to use Buoy in secret, you wouldn't want it posted anywhere.
Maybe that page should come out of the documentation. It is a bit confusing.
@LizPrescott That page is a placeholder until Lighthouse is functional. So far, no one's been wanting to add to it. But, @christyleos, if Carryon.online wants to list themselves there, that would be a good start.
Also, I hope it goes without saying but I hope chatting about improving Buoy is done here or on GitHub, where it's possible for lurkers to see and so as to take advantage of the nature of open source development processes.
and @meitar - definitely
I know they have a Matrix<->Gitter bridge.
@LizPrescott Sorry I'm just seeing this!
There are many benefits to using Vagrant over installing WordPress without it. The most imporatnt answer to your question is that using Vagrant ensures that your copy of the Buoy development environment matches exactly the configuration that other developers (like me) use when we run the development copy. This makes it much, much easier to assure ourselves that problems in our code are problems actually in our code, and not caused by differences in, say, PHP version, or Web server software chosen, or things outside-of-our-app.
