WP Academic Publications Plugin

Let’s you add academic publications, such as those listed in journals or conferences, to your WordPress admin page. These can then be displayed on your site using a shortcode or php function call.

1. Upload wpacademicpubs to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Use [academicpubs] as a shortcode or wpap_get_publications() or wpap_get_publications_formated() in a template.

How do I use the shortcode?

Add [academicpubs] in a post. This can have options:

category: comma separated list of publication category slugs to display. numbered: if true, publications will be displayed with an ordered list. limit: total number of publications to display. reverse: display in chronological order (default is reverse chronological). show_links: if true, show links to the paper pdf and bibtex file. page_num: useful for paging, tell wordpress to return the publications that would be on this page. num_per_page: number of pubs to show on a 'page', needed for the paging functionality. 

For example:

[academicpubs category=selected,science numbered=true limit=5 reverse=true show_links=false] 

What if I want the publications somewhere else?

You can use one of the two php functions anywhere in a template.

/* Returns a list of publications. Each publication contains key,val pairs. * * $options: array('option' => 'value') * * Returns: [['id':1, 'title':'Paper Name', 'pdf_url':'http://a.com'], * [another pub...]] * fields are: id, title, authors, conference, pdf_url, bibtex_url, * slides_ppt, website_url */ wpap_display_publications($options); /* Returns html around each publication. */ wpap_display_publications_formatted($options); 

For example:

<?php $opts = array('category' => 'selected,science', 'reverse' => 'true', 'show_links' => 'false'); $pubs = wpap_display_publications($opts); foreach ($pubs as $pub) { echo '<p>' . $pub['title'] . '</p>'; } ?> 

or

<?php $opts = array('numbered' => 'true', 'limit' => 10); echo wpap_display_publications_formatted($opts); ?> 

What does the output look like?

• Pub1 Title

  Tom Smith and Eva Newn

  Conference 1

  paper | BibTex | slides (ppt) | website

• Pub2 Title

  Tom Cruise

  COOKIE ’13

  paper | BibTex

What is a starter for some CSS styling?

.wpap .publication-title {
font-size: 110%;
font-weight: bold;
}
.wpap p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.wpap ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
}
.wpap li {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
