Display of url

  • Most of my citations have a Web/URL link, which displays in full after the citation text. This works OK, but many of the links are quite long. Is there a way of replacing the full url with a short text or icon that the user can click on? If not could this be a candidate for your wish-list?

    Many thanks

    This is something that is handled by the CSL style. You might check whether there are any available CSL styles at zotero.org/styles that would provide a solution, and then select that style in your ZotPress settings.

    However, given that ZotPress only allows Zotero-hosted CSL styles, there may not be a style that does what you need. In that case it would indeed be great if ZotPress allowed some degree of customization.

    It is possible to use your own styles with ZotPress – at least with the shortcode.

    The style has to be available – ideally on the site you’re coding for – and specified with a FQDN. For example, I am using the following code to display a bibliography of items from my online Zotero library using the following:

    [zotpress collection="F6X6F522" tags="ESG" showtags="no" urlwrap="title" sortby=”date” order=”desc” style="https://www.riverbendadvisors.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/site-resource-list-new-v3.csl" abstract="yes" highlight="Abstract:" ]

    This is a highly customized style, and has been a non-trivial amount of work. The interplay among CSL, Zotero & Zotpress is complex. That said, if you need just a few tweaks, you may be able to implement those fairly easily.

    If you want to see what it looks like, this is my testing page.
