Hi @digitben !

Thank you for the report! The issue should be fixed now in the newest update.

Hi @digitben !

Thank you for the suggestion!
I’ve added the tag input fields to the DOI import form in the newest update.

Hi @digitben !

Thank you for the report! There was a bug causing a malfunction while using tag option in a shortcode for conference and book types of publications. It should be fixed now in the most recent update.
Also I added a new option – btitle, that will filter the list of conferences by its book titles.

So, now you can use the following shortcodes:
[publications subj=conferences tag=turbine] to get the list of publications filtered by tag
[publications subj=conferences btitle=zurich19] to get the list of publications filtered by book title
[publications subj=conferences btitle=zurich19 tag=turbine] to get the list of publications filtered by book title and tag

Hi @vcosfer !

Thank you for the question!
Unfortunately, the plugin can’t mix the different types of publications. You can use the shortcode to display all three together, but the list will still keep the separation between them. In example, it will display all the articles first, then all the conferences and all the books in the end, even if there won’t be any clear division in the list itself.
Also, there’s no sorting option for authors, though you can sort by year within each author.
I’ll try to implement such features, as they do seem very useful, but it will take some time (perhaps a month or two).
Thanks again!

Hi @gavman7 !

Thanks for the information! I’m looking forward fixing the issue, though I can’t really replicate it. The order of authors is identical in “manage works'” list, “modify” section and on the website. I checked it with different authors, orders and publications. Everything works correctly.
Can you please provide me with the publication you have problem with and would you kindly explain the process in which you have encountered the issue in greater detail? It will be very helpful.
Thank you!

Hi @estezaremmy !

Can you provide more details regarding your issue?
Did you enter correct tags for publication list on the plugin settings page?
If that’s the case, please check if your link tag looks similar to this:
<a href="[url]">Link</a>

Hey @gavman7 !

Here’s the pattern similar to the one used on screenshots:
[authors]. <i>[title]</i>{{, [journal]}}{{ <b>[volume]</b>}}{{ P. [pages]}} ([year]) {{DOI: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/[doi]">[doi]</a>}}{{, arXiv:<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/[arxiv]">[arxiv]</a>}}{{, <a href="https://__your_site__/supplementary/[supplementary]">Supplementary</a>}}{{, <a href="https://__your_site__/downloads/[filelink]">PDF</a>}}

It does contain working DOI and arxiv links by default, but you still need to change supplementary and file links to fit your site configuration.
Replace __your_site__ with your actual site downloads folder (for example https://www.ads-software.com/downloads/). If all your files are downloaded to that folder, type file name and extention in the filelink field of publication (filelink = file.pdf).
Another way is to copy the full link to the file (https://www.ads-software.com/downloads/file.pdf) to the filelink field. Then change pattern link to <a href="[filelink]">PDF</a>

Also, don’t be afraid to try different adjustments to the links by yourself and check the results!

Hey @gavman7 !
URL links should work the same as in HTML: perhaps there are some syntax errors in your pattern? Basically, the pattern should look like this:
<a href="[url]">Some Text</a>
Also, notice that if your url field does not contain protocol (http, https, etc.) it will try to create the link to your own site. For example:
if url = "www.ads-software.com" on your site page the link will look like "https://your-site/wordpress/your-page/www.ads-software.com"
if url = "https://www.ads-software.com", the link will be "https://www.ads-software.com".
I hope this information is helpful, and you will manage to make the links you want.

As for your questions:
1. Sometimes the same author can be written a bit differently in different bibliography files. For example, let’s say we have “John Doe” as an author and we have just imported his two works. One of them has his full name (John Doe) and the other one has shortened (J. Doe). Plugin will determine them as two separate authors, which may be a problem in case we have to display the works of one specific author. That’s why you may have to use merge option, so these two separate entities will be considered as one.

2. You can delete any author on “Manage Authors” page by clicking “Remove” button. If the author you want to remove is in the unlisted section it will be removed automatically when all related publications are removed.

Hey @gavman7 !

Thank you for the provided information! There were indeed some issues with db prefix change, which are fixed now in the newest update.
Also, the provided tag is not meant to be placed on your web page as is. It contains fields in these “{” “}” brackets that have to be filled by user. For example, if you want to display every publication use [publications auth=all subj=all prep=all].

Hey @gavman7 !

If I understood you correctly: your imported works do not display on the plugin’s ‘Manage Work’ page, but they DO show up on your web site pages?
I can’t seem to replicate the problem in my environment, so any additional information will be helpful.
Did you make any changes in settings of the plugin or WordPress?
I’ll do my best to try to solve the issue.

Hey @chelelolo !
To change the pattern of displayed publication list go to the admin-panel and on the left menu select “settings” -> “books and papers”.
Then scroll down to “Custom Publication Lists” section. You will find several fields that contain display patterns. Edit the field by inserting [journal] tag anywhere you want.
For exapmple, the list with journal can look like this:
“<i>[authors]</i> <b>[title]</b> ([year]){{Supplementary}} Journal: [journal]”
After editing, don’t forget to press “Save Changes”. Done!

Hey @beatriceballabio !
In the newest update I remade the functions that handle DOI processing, so it should work better and don’t omit any publication fields. But in case it will fail to process some of those fields, they will now be displayed on the page inside “Unprocessed” section of import page, so you can then easily copy-paste that data into the import form.

Hey @beatriceballabio !
Can you please provide the DOI you have issues with? That way I’ll have the ability to properly test what causes the problem you have experienced.

Hey @kar95 !

In the newest update I have added some performance options to the plugin settings page under compatibility tab.
Try ticking each of them and compare the page load time.
It will disable some plugin functionality, but if you don’t use that particular functionality it should decrease the slow downs.
Hope it will help you!

So I tried to look for the plugin processes that can be sped up but at the moment I couldn’t find any.
Also, I would be helpful if you can provide the time it takes to load page with and without plugin. It can be done through developer tools in your browser (usually it can be called by Ctrl+Shift+I combination). There find the network tab and reload the site page. When the page will be fully loaded you’ll see the time it took.
I did this test on my site and it took (on average) 212 ms to load without plugin and 296 with it, which is an acceptable slow down.
