Metrics?

transplantid

Hi all,

I am maintaining a Zotero library, redirected through a Google domain (http://transplantid.net)

Anyone have any ideas about how to get any metrics? Number of visitors or anything like that? Geography of people who accessed? Either through Zotero or Google domains?

I guess if I had a real programmer who could use the application programming interface we could create a local web page which accessed it in our own way? Just don't have access to one.

Any ideas appreciated!

I know Zotero doesn't provide metrics for libraries, so if this is possible, it'd be through google

Thanks, thought so.

Presumably an actual web programmer could create a web page with metrics which then accessed the Zotero library via the API?

Oh yes. You can even just use WordPress with Zotpress installed. WordPress has built in metrics and you could add Google analytics or the like for more detailed options

Thanks! I can't tell by browsing -- how much work is it to get Zotpress to work? Cant find an example for dummies.

Honestly I wouldn't mind something that looked a lot like the default Zotero look, on a WordPress page.

Is there an example where the entire bibliography can be browsed/searched via Zotpress? With links?

I found one that might be a reasonable template with all of the collections on one side:

Is there a way to make it searchable?

(I'm not yet ready to shell out the $300 for the professional WordPress yet until I have a sense about whether I can do what I need.)

Thanks!
