Connection with citeulike.org [#83602]

Hi there!
Great module. Id be really intrested in some connection with citeulike.org. I use it a lot for referencing - but perhaps a linking with that would be good.
Here's some ideas:
- alongside tagged & linked a export to citeulike (I can help with this bit if you like - Ive written a few plugins for citeulike)
- downloading citeulike output for a tag (e.g. 'article-xxx') and creating the bibliography for you from that..

Im happy to help!!

great idea!
actually I'm trying to use citeulike plugins (they are under GPL) to fill out the biblio nodes using prepopulate module. it looks promising but I have no enough knowledge in php, mysql and drupal api.
another idea is to extend connect to citeulike and extend it is to extend its plugins in the way that they can extract also paper references where available. It is very convinient if you want to relate paper and references by "citations" and "cited by" (similarly to http://isiknowledge.com) using relativity module. I'm trying to do this also. finally you will get a perfect database of own papers!
I'm ready to help as a tester :-)

Hi Will,

Connecting with citeulike sounds like a good idea. What would be required on the drupal end? I took a quick look at the citeulike pluggin documentation, and it seems like all the heavy lifting is done on the citeulike side.

As for going from citeulike to drupal/biblio, I see it has both RIS and Bibtex export features, and I will soon be able to import both of these formats directly so that should be covered.

Ron.

I was inspired by this connversation and set up a link to citeulike in the theme (using contemplate). You can see an example here. It is done simply as:

<?php print $body ?>
<div id="findwith">
<ul><li><a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22<?php print $title ?>%22+<?php print $biblio_authors ?>">find on Google Scholar</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.citeulike.org/search/all?f=title&q=%22<?php print $title ?>%22">find on CiteULike.org</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.citeulike.org/posturl?&title=<?php print $title ?>&authors=<?php print $biblio_authors ?>">post to CiteULike.org</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

The 'post to citeulike' prepopulates the title field but I can't figure out how to make it populate the other fields, as well. (I don't really know javascript - just modifying existing bookmarklets.)
