The plugin now includes an admin settings page, so site owners can configure publication defaults and visual styling without manually editing shortcode attributes. Key features: * Standalone Scholar Publications admin menu. * Native Gutenberg block for the default WordPress block editor. * Elementor widget when Elementor is active. * Optional Google Scholar profile header with photo, name, affiliation, verified email, homepage, and research interests. * Default Google Scholar User ID, count, order, caching, pagination, and abstract options. * Appearance controls for colors, typography, profile text alignment, width, spacing, corner radius, shadows, and hover motion. * Shortcode attributes still work for one-off overrides. * Fetches multiple Google Scholar result pages, not just the first page. * Supports `count="all"` to show the full publication list. * Uses WordPress transients for caching. * Includes a responsive layout with dark mode support. * No API key is required. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Scholar Publications ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it through the WordPress admin. 2. Activate **Scholar Publications Fetcher** from the Plugins screen. 3. Open **Scholar Publications** in the WordPress admin menu and enter your Google Scholar User ID. 4. Add the shortcode to a page, post, or widget. You can also insert the publication list from the WordPress block editor by searching for **Scholar Publications** in the block inserter. If Elementor is active, search for **Scholar Publications** in the Elementor widget panel. Basic usage after saving settings: ``` [schopufe_publications] ``` Override settings for a specific page: ``` [schopufe_publications user_id="YOUR_SCHOLAR_ID" count="30" show_abstract="true"] ``` Show all publications, oldest first: ``` [schopufe_publications count="all" order="asc"] ``` Show the public Google Scholar profile header: ``` [schopufe_publications show_profile="true"] ``` ## FAQ ### Where is the settings page? Go to **Scholar Publications** in the WordPress admin menu. ### Do I still need shortcode attributes? No. Save your defaults in the settings page and use `[schopufe_publications]`. Shortcode attributes are still available when you want to override settings on a specific page. ### Can I insert it as a block? Yes. In the default WordPress block editor, search for **Scholar Publications** in the block inserter. ### Does it support Elementor? Yes. If Elementor is active, the plugin registers a **Scholar Publications** widget under the general widgets panel. ### Can it show Google Scholar profile details? Yes. Enable the profile header to display the public profile photo, name, affiliation, verified email, homepage, and research interests above the publication list. ### Can I customize the visual style without CSS? Yes. The settings page includes controls for colors, font style, maximum width, spacing, card radius, shadow, and hover motion. ### Can I show all of my publications? Yes. Use `count="all"` in the settings page or shortcode to fetch and display the full publication list. ### What does `max_pages` do? max_pages limits how many Google Scholar result pages will be fetched. This acts as a safety cap for large profiles. ### What values should I use for `page_size`? Google Scholar reliably supports page sizes of 20 and 100. The plugin normalizes requests to those values. ### Do I need an API key? No. The plugin reads the public HTML of your Google Scholar profile using the WordPress HTTP API and PHP DOM. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Scholar Publications Fetcher” is open source software.
