In reply to: [Zotpress] Make links out of DOIsAha, no. My people mostly do journal articles with the occasional book section and rarely a book and I don’t see the DOI field in those.
My impression from diving into the Zotpress code a couple of years ago was that you could modify the code to display the URL field and wrap it in a link, but you’d have to replace the modification after every update to the plugin. And it might be an either/or situation, where you might only be able to link all the URLs or all the DOIs.
In theory you could use a different item type for the book entries and pick up the DOI field, but then…
Are you sure you want to change the item type?
The following fields will be lost:
Publisher
ISBN

In reply to: [Zotpress] Make links out of DOIsThey’re clickable on the installs I manage like https://smaarons.scrippsprofiles.ucsd.edu/publications/; from my notes when I did my initial setup in 2022 the DOIs are rendered clickable if they’re in the DOI field in Zotero. (But my workflow starts with adding the publications to a given collection using the DOI.)

In reply to: [Zotpress] Many authors in a publicationThat’s a lot of authors. I’ve dealt with long author lists at https://scrippsprofiles.ucsd.edu/, but not that many. Haven’t run into any problems like that yet, but I use APA style and it looks like you’re using Chicago. It might just be a processing limit in the plugin.
In the meantime, if your style is going to truncate the list anyway, would you be able to shorten the author list in Zotero by just using “RECOVER consortium authors” as a line item instead of all the individual authors? (It might be faster to create a new entry rather than click delete 1,500+ times.)Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Zotpress] Elementor – In-Text Citations Showing Spinning Gear ForeverI haven’t run into this, but since it works in Gutenberg and not Elementor my suspicion is that something related to Elementor is breaking the javascript. Does it run a minifier, or do you have a minifier running with the Elementor install? (My sites have Autooptimize.)
The shortcode I use for pages like https://saarons.scrippsprofiles.ucsd.edu/publications/ is [zotpress collection=”######” sortby=”date” title=”year” order=”desc” highlight=”Aarons”] .
The numbering is probably coming from the default style you set in your Zotpress options. I use APA; I get every item numbered “1.” if I switch to something like Vancouver.
Katie’s parser for the shortcodes is very structured, understandably; you can’t really combine many options to do multiple things or swap in different terms.
The sortby=”author” option is probably getting you the out-of-order citation, though I’m not sure, I couldn’t replicate it.

In reply to: [Zotpress] Library not displayingFor the notes to display, you have to:
- Enable third-party access to your notes via Zotero.org >> My Profile >> Edit Profile > Feeds/API >> Edit Key, check the box for “Allow notes access” and save.
- Use notes=”yes” in the shortcode
Though for me they display as footnotes at the bottom of the page, not as part of the citation, with a superscript number at the end of the citation that links to the matching footnote at the bottom of the page. That might vary with the citation style? I haven’t explored that, since there are so many styles available and you can create your own if needed.

In reply to: [Zotpress] Library not displayingThere are also a couple of potential server issues mentioned in the stickied thread at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/having-importsync-issues-check-here-first/ to check, if you have technical access.
If you feel comfortable sharing your user ID and API key I can try loading your library on one of my test sites. (I’m not an official support person, but I rely on Zotpress myself and try not to bother Katie.) I’m [email protected].

In reply to: [Zotpress] Library not displayingHow many items do you have in your library? Mine take a minute or two to load.
Have you tried using the shortcodes to display a subset of your library on a page?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Zotpress] Zotpress in loopSpent a while fiddling with versions of the shortcodes and I haven’t had much success with filtering by itemtype; the Help page text implies you can only pick one itemtype, but the code itself implies it will parse multiple types. Nonetheless, not working for me, and when I do get two sets of shortcode running on the page one of them tends to run wild like yours and crash the page.

In reply to: [Zotpress] Zotpress in loopCurrently on version 7.3.6, we did see a glitch with one-time duplicates in version 7.3.5, but Katie fixed that.
When I try using more than one shortcode on a page I get errors. I don’t see anything in the documentation saying explicitly to use only one shortcode instance per page, but that might be it.

In reply to: [Zotpress] Plugin now displays each entry twice@kseaborn Yes; the issue only cropped up after installing the later version of the plugin.
If I clear the account cache for any individual site, the list initially reloads without the duplicates. But then, if I keep the page open, after some seconds later the duplicates reappear, apparently varying with the number of entries in the collection.Here’s a recording of what the page looks like when I clear the account cache — starts with the duplicates, then the page switches to single records, then the duplicates come back.

In reply to: [Zotpress] Plugin now displays each entry twiceKatie — thanks for looking. We are using CSS to hide the duplicates.
.zpSearchResultsItem:after {
clear: both;
content: "";
display: table;
}
(It looks like https://kinneret-excavations.org/selected-publications, the other site that reported the same issue, is also using CSS to hide their dupes.)
If you look at the page source you should see two versions of each entry, one with class=”zp-Entry zpSearchResultsItem zp_updated”, the other with class=”zp-Entry zpSearchResultsItem” as bolded below:<div id="zp-ID--9129767-LIEEW9EB" data-zp-author-date="Beer-et-al.-2023" data-zp-date-author="2023-Beer-et-al." data-zp-date="2023" data-zp-year="2023" data-zp-itemtype="journalArticle" class="zp-Entry zpSearchResultsItem zp_updated">

In reply to: [Zotpress] bold or italics for charactersI’m just another user, but are you looking to bold all the author names in every entry, or just the author whose page that is (Azimzadeh)?
For the first, you can probably pick or create a new default style for your lists — for example, I can see that the format for Acta Orthopædica Belgica emboldens all the author names. You can see all the available styles at https://www.zotero.org/styles and mouse over the titles to see how they render. This page on Zotero styles explains how they work and has links for requesting new styles or customizing your own.
For the second you can use the “highlight” parameter in the publications shortcode to specify the author’s name — really any one string of characters — and make it appear in bold, as you can see with “Giddings” on https://sgiddings.scrippsprofiles.ucsd.edu/publications/
