Tags and Categories

[dshanske]

Unit tests on adding categories and tags pass, but anecdotal information suggests problems.

Need to do some live testing and possibly expand the unit tests.

Also should other WordPress taxonomies be allowed in here?

Could you make this filterable? Like, you could either allow a list of taxonomies and then try to fetch all terms, or simply allow filtering the final term list (which is probably easier). Asking because I use custom post types and taxonomies. :-) (Well, I don't really use taxonomies in combination with Micropub, yet, but it'd be a nice addition.)

Just now learning about the 'micropub_query' filter, which may suffice. (Hoping, in fact, to use this to add post-types support.)

@janboddez micropub_query is for querying the endpoint. You might want to look at micropub_post_type that allows you to set a custom post type for a Micropub post, based on other parameters.

Right now, the system looks for a category, and if it can't find one, looks for a tag, and if not, creates a tag. I was thinking of adding a search order to this section. But then there is a proposal about channels(indieweb/micropub-extensions#40) that gave me pause.

Yeah, I was somehow thinking about the config query. My bad. 🤦

(There's this post-types (~post kinds, I guess, in the WordPress-verse) param that I was trying to add support for, to get Indigenous to only show the kinds I'm looking to support. I'm already using micropub_post_type. Works a treat!)

And, you're right, actually creating custom taxonomy terms would be quite a bit harder. (Here, too, I was thinking only of the querying part ...)
