Linking Zotero to Wordpress to create publication pages

caspar.trimmer · September 13, 2017

Hi

I work for a research institute, where we use Zotero for referencing. Our researchers also publish a lot of papers and reports.

I wonder if it is possible to link Zotero to the Wordpress back end of our website in order to automatically generate publication pages (pages giving details of the publication plus a short description and a link) from Zotero entries.

Thanks for any help!

There is the Zotpress plugin that can provide a lot of Zotero-powered functionality to Wordpress.

(ZotPress is very powerful & highly recommended)

Thanks, both!

As far as I can see, Zotpress will help me insert references into Wordpress documents, but what I really need is a way of accessing different fields in the Zotero database and getting them to insert automatically into the right places on a publication page template. Here's an example of the kind of page I'm talking about: https://www.sei-international.org/publications?pid=3178.

There's nothing out of the box for that, sorry. It'd absolutely be possible to code using php and the Zotero API, but beyond that you'd mostly have to start from scratch.
