Feature Request

[Jeffmackinnon]

This is exactly something that I have been looking for.

There are a couple of features that I would love to see in future releases (and if I find time to hack-away I will add a pull-request), they are:

• prevent unlisted posts from the list (maybe its there)
• Prevent categories (or whitelist categories)
• select post type to mastodon: public, unlisted, local
• upload an image with the post, if an image isn't available include a "default" - I use pelican-photos and it could be that, or it could be the social graph image (probably harder)
• Use API keys vs username/psw in the config file.
• Update readme for install instructions.

When I get some testing/playing time I will try to knock a couple off this list.

Ciao @Jeffmackinnon!
Thank you for your request.
Pls note I am not a Python developer. Mastodon-toot has been written for my personal needs and now I have the right tool for my website.
I wrote it lurking around and with many copy/paste from other plugins.
Nevertheless I think your suggestions are interesting.
I will try to do something.
Thanks!

[Jeffmackinnon]

Awesome! I'm not a developer either, but maybe we can duct tape something together.

I haven't performed a pull-request before, but I should have some time in a couple weeks to put something together for my site and will send a pull-request with the changes.

Cheers,
JM

Another not-delevoper here, but happy to help. Esp. in connection with my plans to use Mastodon as my comment section: getpelican/pelican#3166

@Jeffmackinnon , perhaps it would be more manageable if you divide your feature request list into a issue each and we can tackle each one separately?

Hi guys,
today I planned with Justin Mayer to move Pelica-toot in the official Pelican plugins repo!
The plugin will be renamed in pelican-fediverse with the aim to became a universal plugin for all the Fediverse and not only for Mastodon.
So, please, be patient untill the plugin will be moved in its final position.
Thank you!

@mpaglia0 has there been any update/changes to this process?

[mpaglia0]

Ciao, the plugin is not yet included in the official repo.
Nevertheless I think you can start to contribute anyway, if you desire.
Thanks

Pelican-fediverse is now available from the main pelican plugin repo!
