In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Nice plugin, but documentation is wrong@neptunestar Please open a new thread for support questions rather than commenting on someone else’s review.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] WP-Publication Archive Activation Error@bigfish04 Thanks for confirming. This looks to be a WAMP-specific issue, and I’ll see what I can do to debug it and get a fix published.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Upgraded plugin and now not workingWhen you upgrade the plugin rather than do a fresh install, its not flushing your permalinks. To do this manually, you need to:
- Log in to your site.
- Navigate to Setting » Permalinks
That’s it. Just viewing the permalinks page will flush your settings and fix the 404.
If not, please start a new discussion topic because that means you’re facing a different issue. This is the same process we used to resolve the problem above.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] No publications listed@ngwoodhouse Actually, I’ve figured out the issue.
The Widget was a community-contributed project that wasn’t fully tested before release. My bad.
If you can, go in to
/lib/class.publication-widget.phpand, on line 133, changeWP_PUB_ARCH_INC_URLtoWP_PUB_ARCH_DIR.I’ll have this fixed in version 2.5.5

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Open docs in new windowOK, that is the expected behavior. I cannot predict what browser people are using, so clicking the Open link will stream the document to the browser and defers to the browser for what to do with it.
I’m adding a hook in version 2.5.5 that will allow you to force the open link to use a new window. Upgrade to version 2.5.5, then add the following to your theme:
add_filter( 'wp_pubarch_open_in_blank', '__return_true' );Forum: Plugins

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Upgraded plugin and now not workingPlease provide a link to your site so I can see what is happening, but that link (with the slug of the publication and
wppa_downloadis the correct URL).The idea is to mask the actual link to the file so that a future version can enable password-protected downloads. The end user should never see the actual file URL.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Open docs in new windowI noticed that opening docs in a new window was not included in the recent 2.5.3 release.
Noticed … where?
The entire point of the 2.5.X branch was to allow users to click to open publications rather than just clicking to download. How are you using the plugin? Can you provide a link so I can see any issues you might be having?
The new default behavior as of version 2.5 is to open rather than download publications, so I’m not sure what issue you’re facing.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] No publications listedThat looks like more than just missing a slash.
What WordPress and PHP versions are you using? What other plugins do you have installed?
Thanks for the head’s up!
I’ve changed all of my prefixes as well to prevent any further conflicts as of version 2.5.4.

As my plugin is very much bigger than WP Pub Arch, i hope they will take care to avoid further collisions in the future.
This is a non-issue. I actively fix known conflicts when they’re made known to me. Merely having a plugin with more downloads than any I’ve built does not mean I automatically know it exists or investigate what prefixes you use in your code.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Cannot activate pluginSince the plugin no longer supports version 3.1.1. I’m marking this as “not a support question” for now (rather than inaccurately marking it as resolved).
lawall,
That’s because I removed the filter in the new version. Well, not so much removed it as renamed it (to be cleaner) and forgot to let everyone know. The correct filter you should be using from now on is
wppa_list_limit.Notice it uses all underscores rather than a random mix of underscores and hyphens. And it properly prefixes with the plugin abbreviation: WP Publication Archive — wppa.
But to make life easier, I’ve re-added the older filter. You don’t need to change any of your code, just update to version 2.5.3.

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] Feature Request: Remote hosting capabilitiesI think this would work best as a new feature request at https://github.com/ericmann/WP-Publication-Archive/issues?direction=desc&sort=created&state=open.
That said … I’m not completely sure I see the need of this particular feature. The point of the plugin was to originally allow you to list privately hosted documents and files for download (i.e. things you upload to your own site). It’s been expanded to allow you to add 3rd-party hosted files as well that aren’t uploaded to your site.
What would be the point of including the bare link? If you put the URL of a 3rd-party hosted site in as a publication, when users hit
http://yoursite.url/publication/title/wppa_downloadthey’re still downloading it from the external site.What would be the benefit be of exposing the 3rd party URL to the end user? Keep in mind, there are several outstanding requests to allow password protection on downloads – even 3rd party hosted ones – so exposing the unmasked URL would circumvent this kind of protection.
