Authors = Editors ?

albertzpe

Hi Zotero Community,

on our Website we publish on the Profile Page all Publications our Researchers from a Zotero Database.
To match the Authors with the website profilenames i use:

EXAMPLE:
Zotpress authors == $author->display_name

This code outputs authors publications and Editors publications. But i only need the authors Publications for my needs.

Author -> A, Beate/Gordon, title

Author -> A, Beate (2003): title

Author -> A, Beate (2006): title

Author -> G, Jens (2014): title , a, Beate ( Editor )

Author -> A, Beate (2008): title


is there a way to only show Authors, not Editors for the Website Output. Right know i use Worpress with ZOTPRESS Plugin but im open for a another solution without Zotpress.


Looking forward to get a clue.

Best Peter

At least at first thought, I don't think so, no. The search that Zotpress (presumably) uses on the Zotero API for this is a "creator" search, so it gets both editors and authors and any other tool would, too.

thank you adam.

is Zotpress the only way to show Content from a Zotero Database to a frontend Website?

Cant reach Katie so far.

No, you can directly query the Zotero API and get it to display bibliographies, but what I'm saying is that I don't see how you'd be able to get Zotero to make that distinction via its API, and all tools would pretty much have to rely on that.
