Shortcodes Reference

Scholar Sync Documentation

Scholar Sync provides two shortcodes. Both are generated for you (with a working id already filled in) on each researcher's or group's preview screen — the reference below is for when you want to place one manually or adjust its attributes.

[scholar-sync-scholar]

Displays a single researcher's profile and publication list.

[scholar-sync-scholar id="42"]

Attribute	Default	Effect
id	—	The researcher's ID. Required.
header	shown	Set to "0" to hide the name/affiliation header.
search	shown	Set to "0" to hide the publication search box.
cited-by	shown	Set to "0" to hide citation counts.
co-authors	shown	Set to "0" to hide co-author avatars on each article.
article-image	shown	Set to "0" to hide each article's image, where one is set.
image_shape	circle	The researcher photo's shape.
shadow	shown	Set to "0" to remove the photo's drop shadow.

Example, hiding the header and citation counts:

[scholar-sync-scholar id="42" header="0" cited-by="0"]

[scholar-sync-group]

Displays a group — either its Research Feed or its Staff Directory grid, depending on how the group itself is configured.

[scholar-sync-group id="12" columns="4"]

id is the only attribute you'll normally need. Every display option (columns, image shape, which fields are shown, and so on) is configured once on the group's own settings screen and used automatically — you only need to add an attribute below if you want to override that setting for this one specific embed.

Attribute	Effect
id	The group's ID. Required.
columns	Number of grid columns (Staff Directory view).
image_shape	Overrides the group's photo shape.
shadow	Overrides whether photos have a drop shadow.
cited-by	Set to "0" to hide citation counts (Research Feed view).
co-authors	Set to "0" to hide co-author avatars (Research Feed view).
article-image	Overrides whether article images are shown (Research Feed view).
search	Set to "0" to hide the search box.
sort_by	Overrides the default sort order.
show_position	Overrides whether position/title is shown (Staff Directory view).
show_institution	Overrides whether institution is shown (Staff Directory view).
show_tags	Overrides whether research tags are shown (Staff Directory view).
max_tags	How many tags to show before collapsing into "+N more".
show_publications	Overrides whether the publication count is shown (Staff Directory view).
show_profile_link	Overrides whether the "View Profile" link is shown (Staff Directory view).
per_page	Overrides how many results are shown per page.
