Going forward, Micropub posts with a location property will be set to public by default unless the client sends information indicating otherwise.
To support fixing the ones set incorrectly, there is now a bulk action to set multiple posts to private or public.
For Micropub posts without a location property, there is now a setting to add one from the backend geolocation provider. This will obviously not work with the web browser based provider, only the ones that work in the background. There are currently 2 bundled in.
- Set Location from Author Profile – This will always pull the location set in the user’s metadata. You can read about how to set this here. Thereotically, any external provider that supports HTTP requests could use this
- Compass – Aaron Parecki’s location storage system. I selfhost my own copy.
In a future update, will be looking to set Compass API lookup per user so each user could have a separate feed for location.
