Add syndication targets #28

Closed sebsel closed 6 years ago

sebsel commented 6 years ago

Would be great to tell my blog to Tweet my post too, right from Omnibear, especially when it's in reply to a tweet.

You can get the targets by doing a GET to the endpoint with ?q=syndicate-to and the access token. https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#syndication-targets

Then, when the button is pressed / checkbox is chosen, add a mp-syndicate-to field with the value of the button / syndication target, to the POST request. That gives the order to syndicate.

(I think my own blog and some other people support syndicate-to as the POST field, but that one is depricated. Better to use the new one.)

Should be quite possible. The micropub-helper library supports queries like this:

micropub.query('syndicate-to')
    .then(res => console.log(res['syndicate-to']));

Done! I added a configuration option so the mp-syndicate-to field name can be modified in case your MP endpoint uses the legacy syndicate-to field name instead.

Sorry to revive this old issue, but I'm not seeing any syndication targets in Omnibear. Both Quill and Indigenous for Android correctly show that my MP endpoint supports syndication to Twitter, but Omnibear provides nothing. I've tried setting "Customize endpoint fields" from mp-syndicate-to to syndicate-to with no difference.

Is it the case that Omnibear syndicates to all available syndication targets without asking which for which ones to use? That's fine, but is a different user experience from Quill and Indigenous for Android. Either an explanation to that effect, or some UI to indicate this, would be helpful!
