### 󠀁[Excellent plugin for displaying proceedings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-for-displaying-proceedings/)󠁿

We have been looking for a good way of publishing our annual scientific conference
proceedings in WordPress, and the Books & Papers plugin has certainly delivered!
Simple to use and REALLY excellent support! The author is very quick to reply and
has been very helpful. Thank you Frier!

The author of this plugin was very efficient! Already, many of my questions have
been answered and now the plugin has been improved for me. Today I saw the update
of the plugin! For users, please find {{ }} grammar for the conditional display.—-
I have been trying to find a plugin like this for many years and finally this is
the best fit for the website of my research group. And yet it can be improved in
its presentation of papers. One issue is its formatting: In the setup menu, one 
can set up the format; here is the default format. [authors] [title] ([year]) [doi][
arxiv] [filelink] [supplementary]. However this is not at all flexible — there is
no “conditional” formatting. For instance, if the year is empty, then it should 
not produce (0). Typically papers are shown on the journal website as soon as they
are accepted and those early-view papers have DOI numbers but no year, issue, volume.
It would be nice to say something like [if year “([year])”] to display ([year]) 
only if it is nonzero and nonempty. Also, doi and arXiv link do not put hyperlinks
automatically. And it would be nice if the title of the paper is linked to doi if
available, and arxiv if doi is unavailable and arxiv is available.

however, its simplicity is causing some options to be missing. options like sort
by year, by alphabet e.t.c
