How to markup a WordPress theme, so that Zotero translates the content?

derlinzer
I stumbled over some WordPress blogs where Zotero displayed one of it's icons in Firefox's address bar - so there has to be some markup in the WordPress theme that Zotero tries to interpret.

Is there a way, to modify a theme, so that Zotero can grab the post title, date, author, etc...?

    Great question, and one that we've been working on. One quick way would be to modify the WP theme to generate a COinS tag for each post.

    For example, you could place the following code in the relevant template files (e.g. index.php, single.php, and archive.php) around the title code (e.g. just outside h2 tags)

    <span class="Z3988"
    title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Adc&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Focoins.info%3Agenerator&amp;rft.title=<?php urlencode(the_title()); ?>&amp;rft.creator=<?php urlencode(the_author()); ?><?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
    echo "&amp;rft.subject=" . $cat->cat_name;
    }; ?>&amp;rft.publisher=<?php urlencode(bloginfo('name')); ?>&amp;rft.date=<?php the_time('Y-m-d') ?>&amp;rft.type=blogPost&amp;rft.format=text&amp;rft.identifier=<?php the_permalink() ?>&amp;rft.language=English">

    You might take a look at the forum thread on tagging Wikipedia references, also using COinS:

    I hope that Zotero will eventually support the unAPI spec (http://unapi.info/). Then, any Wordpress theme could be easily integrated with Zotero via use of the unAPI Wordpress plugin:
