In the course of adding a list of my publications to a WordPress page I first stumbled over the BibSonomy/PUMA CSL plugin. As I manage my bib entries with my university’s PUMA system, this plugin was exactly what I was looking for. Although the plugin was not tested for my current WordPress installation it worked fine and I was able to generate a list with one of the many available styles. Unfortunately there was a bug with the site icon whenever the plugin was enabled.

So I was looking for another way of including such a list dynamically with the style of my wordpress theme. Therefore iframes are out of the game and many other “hacks” fail due to CORS restrictions. But as the PUMA system also exports JSON files I came across the JSON Content Importer plugin for WordPress.

After some trial and error testing with the available routines within the plugin, I ended up with the following JSON template:

{subloop-array:-1}
<p class="has-small-font-size"><strong><a href={url} target="_blank">{label}</a></strong></br>
{subloop-array:authors:-1}
{authors.first} {authors.last}, 
{/subloop-array:authors}</br>
in {journal:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:journal <i>}{booktitle:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:proceedings of  <i>}</i>{volume:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:, vol }{number:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:, no }{pages:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:, pp }{year:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:, }</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p  class="has-small-font-size">{abstract:ifNotEmptyAddLeft:<i>Abstract</i>--}</p>
</blockquote>
</br>
{/subloop-array}

With this code the plugin is able to parse a JSON file exported by the PUMA system. In my case I am using the following JSON API-URL with the base node set to items:
