Code4Lib Journal WordPress Customizations

Feeds

FeedBurner distributes the feed for the Code4Lib Journal. The main feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/c4lj. The general comments feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/c4lj/comments. Other feeds (e.g., individual articles' comments feeds) are not redirected to FeedBurner.

The "C4LJ Custom the_author()" and "FeedBurner FeedSmith" customize the URLs and the contents of the feeds.

Permalinks

Article permalinks use the custom structure /articles/%post_id%.

Category permalinks have the base /issues.

Plugins

Anti-Spam

Akimset

Filters out spam-link comments based on their content

reCAPTCHA

Requires users to copy a distorted word before they can comment

Metadata

COinS Quicktags Button

In the non-WYSIWYG editor, can be used to build a basic COinS tag. This has been abandoned in favor of the generator at http://generator.ocoins.info/.

unAPI Server

Provides information about articles. Useful for Zotero users.

Presentation

SyntaxHighlighter

Makes code pretty.

C4LJ Custom the_author()

Replaces the text returned by the_author() with the value of the "author" custom field. Necessary since articles are entered by their editors, but we want author information to appear on the articles and in the syndication feeds.

URLs

C4LJ Remove Parents

A customization of http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-parents/. Prettifies category URLs so that issues appear at http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue1 instead of http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issues/issue1.

FeedBurner FeedSmith

Redirects the main feed and the general comments feed to FeedBurner

Workflow

Role Manager

Allows creation of custom roles and editing of roles' permissions. Used to create the Reviewer role, which can read Private articles, so that authors can see their articles before publication.
