Feature suggestions for Zotpress, Part 2

Working in 6.1:
– Auto-syncing/updating
– URL wrapping for title and image
– Highlight text, e.g. author name
– Book covers by ISBN (Open Library)

On the list:
– In-text “and” attribute to accept ampersands
– Show/hide abstracts
– Non-repository CSL styles
– Shortcode for returning counts, e.g. items per collection, by item type
– Saving default options in Ref widget
– Get post/pages/etc by citation (not sure if that’s possible tbh)
– Search by item type

From what I see Zotpress in a WordPress Multisite (MS) installation needs to be activated with setup for every Site. This means the Zotero user Account Type, API User ID and Private Key needs to be entered as often as Sites would need the same account.
I think it would be wonderful and very useful for scientific WordPress Multisites if an option would make Zotpress able to setup Zotero accounts for the whole MS installation.

Zotpress really extends the usefulness of a Zotero library. It certainly allows easy creation of in-line citations and bibliographies.

But, as someone who started using Zotero recently to build and maintain a “library” of research information and sources, Zotpress offers a way to share this information on a WordPress site that goes beyond an academic bibliography. (For example, displaying a dynamic list of documents/articles on a topic that can be updated by updating the library.) So I would include on the wish list any capability that adds to the ability to define which items are selected, as well as those that allow selective formatting of fields in an entry (as the urlwrap does for the title).

Theoretically, some of that could be done by creating new styles, so I support the non-repository CSL item already on the list. That said, I’m not a CSL author and creating a style seems very daunting. I don’t know much about the ZotPress API, either, so I don’t know which would be the more practical request (maybe neither!):

• the capability to selectively pull fields from Zotero items which can then be formatted
• a few sample styles that are more like lists than citations

To end on a less ambitious note, searching by item type would also be high on my list.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Hi, thanks for the nice plugin. If you could consider adding the option for numbering the the references in reverse chronological order it will be great.
Thanks in advance
