Nope, I was wrong…this happened from moving my WP to a new server…one thing I should have known was the need to ensure that cURL is installed…

Thanks, Katie!

Jim

Katie, I think this one is broken again for some reason; I’m not getting collections/tags in the Zotpress metabox. This behavior is happening on Mac/Firefox/Chrome latest.

Thanks again for a great plugin!

Jim

Okay, the above was great but did not address my problem, which I sort of hear in this posting as well. I’m strongly suspecting that page caching can occasionally take a ton of time to do: this seems to have been the culprit with my last page load, which took nearly 30 seconds…crazy. Does anyone else suspect that page caching (the reason I got W3TC in the first place) can occasionally be a huge slowdown?

Thank you! Will try this…did this error delay response at all from your server?

In my case, it was indeed related to the Flash uploader problem, which arose from an SSL certificate problem…all is now fixed.

Yep, that was my experience too…”Automatically prime the page cache” does not seem to work in spite of having a compliant sitemap.xml…

And one more page cache settings question: “Specify the pages and feeds to purge when posts are created, edited, or comments posted” is set to the defaults (home page/post page/blog feed enabled), but when I edit a post (again, a custom post type) I don’t see that particular post cache purged. I could of course purge the entire cache every time I update one of these custom posts, but that seems to be overkill…recommendations?

Thanks,

Jim

Okay, further sleuthing in wp-content/w3tc/pgcache confirms my suspicion that page cache is being flushed fairly quickly, i.e. is not persistent even though no edits made to these pages (note: most of these “pages” are custom posts, but one is a page). Perhaps if someone could clarify/recommend settings on the following, maybe I’d get it right?

• Garbage collection interval: Currently 3600 seconds. Is this what is flushing my cache?
• Automatically prime the page cache: Checked on; why does this not precache all pages?
• Update interval: Currently 300 seconds…too quick?
• Pages per interval: Currently 20…too many? I’m on a Bluehost account.
• Expires header lifetime [in browser cache panel…the above on page cache]: Currently 3600, though “Set expires header” is off; sounds like the note at bottom of page cache panel suggests this is how pages are getting dumped?

Many thanks for your help.

Jim

Thank you, Katie, for this and all your great updates!! We all really appreciate it…so helpful. Will check out the other features soon, but yes, now reference widget works fine with latest Mac Safari/Chrome browsers.

Jim

Yes, I should have first checked in multiple browsers; sorry. I’m running WP/ZP latest, and it works in FF 5.0.1 Mac, but not on Safari 5.1 Mac (where I originally noticed the problem), nor Chrome 12.0.742.122 Mac.

Thanks!

Jim

I’d like to do this too: I have a custom post type with custom fields for students to enter data, and one field should include a link to the related Zotero item. This would be easy if the Zotpress Reference widget showed up, but it doesn’t, and I can’t immediately find a way to get it to appear. I typically manage these boxes with the IM8 Box Hide plugin, but it only handles post and page types, not custom post types.

Thanks,

Jim

Ah, item (a) now fixed via Zotpress update v4.3….thanks! Jim

So, it seems possible to do e.g.

https://api.zotero.org/groups/45298/tags/cultural+politics/items/?format=bib&style=chicago-author-date

and generate a Chicago B-formatted output of a certain tag, though clearly not (yet) a certain tag within a certain collection. I suppose the code would have to load an array of items in a given collection and an array of items with a given tag, then compare the two arrays to identify common items…you’re right that this would necessitate multiple API calls, but I could imagine the routine could be generalized so that it could handle any two requirements (e.g., items that have tag A and tag B).

I’d like to go back to my first question, if possible, as well as my latest question:

(a) When I enter e.g. [zotpress userid=”45298″ tag=”cultural+politics”] I get “Sorry, but Zotpress was unable to contact the Zotero server. (Try again?)” The same happens whether or not I enter the userid, and as you can see from the API above the groupID and tag should work. What is wrong with the syntax of my shortcode?

(b) Which of the filters noted on your Zotpress help tab can be combined? I would imagine any of the display settings can be combined, and that at least some of the filter settings (e.g., collection and tag) cannot, but perhaps other filters can?

Many thanks again for all your great support!

Jim

Thank you! That would be great.

Jim

Okay, read through the read API and now understand how this can be done via https://…but perhaps I should ask a further question given your shortcode is a bit more powerful than their API options: which filters can and cannot be combined in Zotpress shortcode? I understand that the various display settings can easily be added, but when I for instance would like to add a filter datatype = “tags” can I add that to e.g. a collection filter?

Thanks again,

Jim
