Displaying of collection, subcollections, and items altogether

I am relatively new to Zotero and recently came across Zotpress and have been trying to incorporate it into my website.

I currently have three individual groups of varying access in Zotero. Within each I have numerous collections with some subcollections.

My goal is to share all of my materials with my students based on the group and, in some cases, the collection.

To that end, I’ve looked everywhere and tried everything possible, but I’m at the point that I need t post my questions.

1. Currently, using [zotpress collection=”KZVRPQGJ”], which appears to be a valid collection itself with two subcollections results in “Sorry, there’s no items to display.” Any thoughts on to why this would be? Note: I can see individual items when using [zotpress userid=”180260″].

2. Ideally, what I am trying to get at is being able to display all of my items categorized with their respective collection label. For example, COURSE XYX (collection) , TOPIC A(subcollection), with listings of items 1, item 2, item 3, etc. Is there a way to display this?

Any help would be appreciated. I’m not sure if it a plugin issue or a coding issue on my part.

(BTW: this plugin is truly a godsend. I’ve been using the plugin Link Library for a similar task, but Zotpress being linked to Zotero is much better.)

Thanks,

Patrick
