BiblioFly has five main functions, two for embedding a bibliography entry into a post or page, and three for displaying your meters in your templates. The latter will require you to modify your template, but don't worry, it's very easy.
To embed a single bibliography entry into a post or page, simply drop the following string into the text editor when you create your post or page:
[bfentry id=# small]
where:
If you wish to display bibliography entry with id number 4, in full:
[bfentry id=4]
To print out the bibliography page, simply drop the following string into the text editor when you create your post or page:
[biblioflypage]
The function will fetch all bibliography entries marked as visible, sort them into categories (novel, short fiction, poem, non-fiction book, article), and print them out in full.
If you wish your bibliography page to print only one category, this is the code to use:
[biblioflypage type=#]
where:
To display any of your bibliography entries outside of posts or pages, you will need to modify the template where you wish the meters to display.
Navigate to the appropriate template page (most people choose to edit sidebar.php to display a list of bibliography entries, for example), find the lines in the template where you wish the meters to display, and enter the appropriate function call (see below) into the code.
All the template functions output their list wrapped in <li></li> elements, so it's important to wrap the entire function in a parent list, either <ul></ul> or <ol></ol> elements.
To display a specific bibliography entry, copy and paste the following code into your template:
<ul><?php bf_specific($id, $full) ?></ul>
where:
If you wish to display entry with id number 4, and you're happy with the default options:
<ul><?php bf_specific(4); ?></ul>
If you wish to display entry with id number 4, in full:
<ul><?php pf_specific(4,"full"); ?></ul>
To display a random bibliography entry, copy and paste the following code into your template:
<ul><?php bf_random($full) ?></ul>
where:
To display a random bibliography entry
<ul><?php bf_random(); ?></ul>
To display a random bibliography entry, in full:
<ul><?php bf_random("full"); ?></ul>
To call the most recent bibliography entries, and display them in descending order by id, simply drop the following code into your template:
<ul><?php bf_recent($limit); ?></ul>
where:
To call the 3 most recently entered bibliography entries (eg, if you have 10 entries, it will call 10, 9 and 8 (providing all three are marked as visible)):
<ul><?php bf_recent(3); ?></ul>
