WordPress and open source CMS research

I have to make a litterature review about open source CMS with focus on WordPress.

Yesterday and today I made a BibTex compiler for WordPress. I have to make a litterature review. By now I'm inspired by Umberto Eco's cardboard file cards. However, nowadays I think that a MySQL database is better suited for the storage.

Here is the system:

• https://github.com/asathoor/libri

Today the final pieces came together. The database has all entries from my bibtex file. Via PHP I can convert the MySQL data to a bibtex format. Here's the trick:

while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){     print "\n@Book{" . strtoupper( substr($row['Author'], 0,4)) . "_" . $row['Year']     . ",\n Author={" . $row['Author'] . "},\n"     . "Title={" . $row['Title'] . "},\n"     . "Publisher={" . $row['Where'] . "},\n"     . "Year=" . $row['Year'] . "}\n";   }

Some formatting may be done via SQL, here's a sample from my Github repo:

SELECT '@Book{' as 'Book',

concat(left(`Author`,3),`Year`,',') as 'slug',
concat('Author={{' , `Author`, '}},') as 'Author',
concat('Title={{' ,`Title`, '}},') as 'Title',
concat('Year=',`Year`,'}')

FROM `libri`

So the environment for developing the project is almost there.
