Provide status on post to Mastodon #44

Closed davehill47 closed 1 year ago

davehill47 commented 1 year ago

Would it be possible to (optionally) add a status message on the WP post edit screen when a successful share is made? This would present similarly to the existing "Post published and sending emails to subscribers. View post" or "Post updated. View post" messages, in its own status box. (WP-to-Twitter, when I was using that, did something similar.) So, something like ...

Shared to Mastodon at ____

... filling in the location site (as the meta box does).

This would provide positive confirmation the share worked or occured, without having to scroll to where the meta box is.

Is that using Gutenberg?

I mean, I think so, because on "Classic Editor" screens, I normally just drag the meta box up until it sits just below the "Publish" "box thingy."

I've yet to look into these "Post" panels for Gutenberg, hoping to eventually do something with them.

Actually, it's for Classic Editor. And, yeah, if I pull the metabox up, it's just visible. Unfortunately, that means pulling something else further down out of sight. :-) But that is a workaround, so from my perspective this is low priority.

Hehe. I never know if I want the featured image to be (barely) visible (above the fold), or this plugin's metabox or maybe "Share on Pixelfed's," and so on.

Unfortunately, that means pulling something else further down out of sight.

Yeah, we could maybe show a dismissible notice or something, although for delayed syndication it would obviously never be displayed.

I'll look into it, but, yeah, rather low prio. (The Gutenberg case is worse, because there the meta box doesn't auto-update upon publish [but we could, eventually, possibly show a post-publish "sidebar message"].)

I actually added this, but it is off by default.

You'd have to add add_filter( 'share_on_mastodon_admin_notices', '__return_true' ); to your theme's functions.php, or, better still, a must-use plugin.

Was shipped in v0.10.0.
