OpenURL Button WordPress Plugin

philgons · March 16, 2009

I'd like to download and try out the OpenURL Button plugin for WordPress referenced on the WordPress page. It is described this way:

COinS is often used to refer to some other content than the blog post itself (such as a journal article or book). Peter Binkley maintains another extension, which allows the ability to make COinS entries in the post editor which refer to other references.

Unfortunately I get a 404, and Google doesn't turn up anything, nor does a search in the WordPress plugin directory. Anyone know how I can get this plugin—or one that accomplishes the same thing?

Thanks.

Did you try clicking the giant download button on that page?

Sean, as I stated in my original post, I'm talking about the *OpenURL Button plugin*, not the main COinS Zotero WordPress plugin (which I already have installed). So clicking the giant download button doesn't help anything. Am I mistaken that the page refers to three different plugins (1 and 2 being very similar), the last of which allows you to embed Zotero-recognized sources into your posts?

Do you not get a 404 when you click "openurl_button.zip"? It sends me to this dead link: http://www.wallandbinkley.com/quaedam/images/openurl_button.zip.

That link still works for me. As you've seen on Peter's page, others do report a 404, though:

Haven't a clue why & you should probably just ask Peter. Perhaps you have a firewall or proxy that blocks zip downloads from some sites?

Very strange. Well, it works here at work, so I've just download it here. Thanks for the tip.

BTW, the link from Zotero's site is to the old, outdated version of the plugin. The correct link is http://www.wallandbinkley.com/quaedam/images/COinS_button.zip not http://www.wallandbinkley.com/quaedam/images/openurl_button.zip.
