Scholar Citation Meta 1.8.0

Update: WordPress will offer this update on the Plugins screen if you're on 1.7.0 or later. Otherwise download scholar-citation-meta-1.8.0.zip below (not "Source code") and choose Replace current with uploaded.

New: translations

• A Translations table in the Scholar citation metadata box, with one row per language: language code, translated title, PDF URL, link text, and an optional translated page.
• [scholar_pdf lang="fr"] links to the French PDF using that row's link text, e.g. [scholar_pdf] · [scholar_pdf lang="fr" icon="0"] shows Download PDF · en français.
• [scholar_title] / [scholar_title lang="fr"] show the original or translated title.
• [scholar_translations] lists every translation with its title and link.
• Translated PDFs in /articles/ or the Media Library get the same alias under the post's URL as the main PDF.
• Links are marked with their language (lang, hreflang). Translated pages are announced in <head> as hreflang alternates.
• [scholar_pdf] also accepts label and link, and a one-off url="https://…".

What the shortcodes show

With a French row (title "La machine à rente foncière", link text "en français"):

You type	The page shows
[scholar_pdf]	(PDF icon) Download PDF
[scholar_pdf lang="fr"]	(PDF icon) en français, with the translated title on hover
[scholar_title lang="fr"]	La machine à rente foncière, as plain text styled like the surrounding text
[scholar_title lang="fr"] — [scholar_pdf lang="fr"]	La machine à rente foncière — (PDF icon) en français
[scholar_translations]	A list with one line per language: the title, then its link

The Google Scholar tags still point only to the original PDF. See Translations in the README.

Scholar Citation Meta 1.7.0

First public release of Scholar Citation Meta.

Install: download scholar-citation-meta-1.7.0.zip below (not "Source code"), then in WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. If an older copy is installed, choose Replace current with uploaded. Then go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save.

New in 1.7.0

• The plugin now updates from this repository's GitHub Releases. Future versions show up on the WordPress Plugins and Updates screens like any other plugin.

Highlights so far

• Google Scholar / Zotero citation_* meta tags generated from a DOI: Crossref first, then DataCite, then doi.org.
• BibTeX box for items without a DOI, or to fill in missing fields such as pages.
• The DOI field accepts publisher URLs and drops title slugs after the DOI.
• PDFs in /articles/ or the Media Library are given an alias under each paper's URL, as Google Scholar requires, with a PHP fallback if the .htaccess rule is missing.
• Shortcodes: [scholar_pdf] (with text, icon, class and url options) and [scholar_cite] (BibTeX/RIS downloads).
