urlwrap doesn't produce links for all items

    I’ve set up a Zotpress shortcode to display a number of items from my library on a WP page using the urlwrap=”title” attribute. Of the seven items my test page displays, two do not display a link, yet all seven items have the URL attribute set.

    Here’s the shortcode:

    [zotpress collection="932RTZH6" showtags="no"
style="harvard1" sortby="title" urlwrap="title"  abstract="yes" ]

    Here’s a link to the test page that code produces.

    For example, the second item has a link and the third doesn’t. Yet both items have the same zotero attributes/fields set.

    I’ve been running into trouble with entity encoding differences between the title meta and the generated bib. Please send along your API key and id so I can pinpoint the case: https://katieseaborn.com/contact

    Thanks, Katie – I appreciate it.

    This response is just an FYI for those reading the forum. I’ve provided the information Katie needs for troubleshooting. I’ll post further when there’s anything to report.

    Should be fixed in 6.1.2.

    I downloaded and installed 6.1.2 and the urlwrap now works as expected.

    Thanks, Katie!

    Great!

    Katie, I’m seeing this problem with v6.1.3: using Chicago author-date the URLwrap doesn’t work at all, and using e.g. APA URLwrap works fine for most but not all references, with as far as I can see no pattern differentiating those that don’t work.

    I can send you samples and help diagnose if you wish. My main goal is to use URLwrap successfully with the Chicago author-date style.

    Yes, please do — unfortunately I have to account for this on a case-by-case basis.

    Okay, thanks Katie! All my Zotero references have an entry in the URL field, and I’m attempting to wrap this URL on the title of the reference. Here is the default shortcode I’m using:

    [zotpress sortby="author" style="chicago-author-date" abstracts="yes" urlwrap="title" target="new"]

    I’ve created a public page here that shows what the Zotpress dynamic output looks like when style is set to Chicago author-date vs. APA. You’ll see that *almost* all references display URLwrap correctly with APA (whereas none do with Chicago author-date), yet I don’t immediately see a pattern as to the APA references that don’t work, as explained on the page.

    I’m happy to do followup testing, give you a login (assuming you have a WordPress.com account…we login via Jetpack)/add you to the Zotero library, etc.

    Sure appreciate!

    Regards,

    I’ve been working on hyperinking titles for another issue and it seems to be working on my end now with a different library but set to chicago-author-date. Check out 6.1.4 and let me know if you’re still finding that it’s different between chicago-author-date and apa.

    Katie, thanks. I updated the output page here after updating to Zotpress 6.1.4, and clearing the site cache and Zotpress account cache just to be safe. There was no change with Chicago author-date, but of the three references that didn’t URLwrap successfully in APA, two now do…you’ll see this all on the third scenario I present on that output page.

    Do be in touch; happy to continue assisting, and many thanks.

    Yes, please contact me with your API key, ID, account type, and these shortcodes so I can debug on my end.

    Okay, will do via email!…Jim

    Katie, just resent an email (first sent July 3) to your info@ address…do confirm you received it, please, and hopefully we’ll figure this out yet.

    Should be working in 6.1.5. The problem is the raw title is lowercase but the chicaco-author-date generated version has a mix of lower and uppercase that is mysterious to me. I’ve used a case-insensitive search which replaces the generated version with a wrapped lowercase version.

    Okay, I look forward to trying it out when the update appears!

    Jim
