I’m still working on adding an author filter. Since authors are a custom taxonomy, it will be in the plugin in a future version.
If you want to follow active development, request features, or report bugs, please follow my commits on GitHub: https://github.com/ericmann/WP-Publication-Archive
Don’t repost! You posted the exact same thing over here.
Still working on it.
OK, I’ve updated the plugin to version 2.3.2. This should fix your pagination issue (and I’ve tested under WP 3.3).
Pagination is there … but for some reason your site’s not outputting the previous/next links at the bottom of the publication list.
To test that the pagination is working, add
?wpa-paged=Xto the end of your url where X is the page number. So http://www.rethinkcreativeservices.com/stjohns/bulletins/?wpa-paged=2, for example.As to why the pagination links aren’t showing up … it looks like I have a bug in the code setting the number of publications to a hard limit of 10. I’ll see what I can do about a fix as soon as I get a few free minutes.
@joesch – You have something else going on with your site. I don’t know if it’s the UAM plugin you’re using or something else, but attempting to access that file is firing
wp_die().A file does download when I click the link, but the PDF isn’t a PDF. Analyzing the file in a regular text editor reveals the markup of the standard WordPress error page.
So something on your system is intercepting the request for the file and, rather than returning the filestream, is returning a WordPress error.
So my recommendation is to disable all of your plugins except WP Publication Archive and test the download. If it works, then I’m right and one of your other plugins is causing the plugin. Re-activate them one at a time (testing the download after each activation) until it breaks. Then let me know which plugin is causing the problem.
@joesch Can you please provide me a link to your site first? The problem we were fixing for thedoodly was due to what appears to be a very customized setup … so while you might see the same symptoms I’m not sure you’re facing the same problem.
In short, I don’t think the short-term patch we applied to thedoodly’s site will work in most cases.

In reply to: [JS Banner Rotate] [Plugin: JS Banner Rotate] Randomize first picture?At the moment, no. The order if the images is the order you place them in the shortcode. This is because their written in the markup in the same order you placed them when you wrote the tag.
But randomizing the order is an interesting idea and would make a great feature in a future version. If you want to throw an issue on GitHub so I remember later, feel free!

In reply to: WP – Publications Archive conflict with ALO NewsletterI’ll try to take a look this weekend.
For those following along at home …
The problem turned out to be the way the site is rewriting URLs. It was eating the url added to the
file=query variable and returning a 404. I will fix this in a coming release and have a short-term patch functioning on @thedoodly’s site for now.All of that additional meta information (article summary, where published, etc) is on my to-do list for a future release. At the moment, there’s no functionality to add that to the system.
The author, though, is a field you can use. But right now, the author field is meant to represent authors external to the site.
For example, if one of your Publications was the play “Hamlet,” you’d want to list William Shakespeare as the author. There’s a box on the right-hand side of the Publication edit screen where you can add authors. Think of these for now as free-form tags (like tags/categories for a post). It’s just a way to categorize your publications for now.
As for the “download button” and “title name,” all of the markup is located in
/lib/class.publication-markup.php. I apologize that the strings aren’t properly internationalized, but this markup file was meant to be a short-term fix while I re-built the templating engine and I got sideswiped by other projects.If you need to modify any of the markup in this file, feel free … just keep in mind that much of this file will disappear in a future version.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Publication Archive] increase filesize@cptkirkh Would you care to explain what you did to fix the problem? Someone else might find this thread in a Google search and would benefit from your solution.
@thedoodly – I emailed you directly outside the forums last week. Did you not receive the message? You’re running in to things that require a more in-depth look at your site.
You can’t link to the author profile just yet. Authors, in the case of publications, are just tags. They don’t have any other information set up. Your Author tags might match Authors in WordPress, though, so that might be the kind of profile page you want to link to.
In the current version, though, you can’t do this.
Linking the title of the article will be possible when I release the customizable template version of the plugin in a bit. But right now, you’d have to hack the plugin itself and would lose your changes when you update to a new version.
As for linking the Journal name … that depends 100% on how you’re adding the Journal name. If you’re putting it in to the Summary field for a publication, you’d just create a regular
<a href="...">Journal</a>link.1. The open versus save is handled by the browser, not by the plugin. All you can do from the server side is send the file to the browser, then it’s up to the browser, its installed plugins, and the user to either save the file or open it.
2. I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking here. Do you just want to publish additional meta information with the publication?
I don’t have controllable templates for the output yet … but they’re coming in a later version. If you can describe exactly how you want to be able to output the information I’ll be sure to include your input when I build out and release the feature.
