Class:
EXPORTCOMMON
Method Call:
include_once("core/file/export/EXPORTCOMMON.php");
$common = new EXPORTCOMMON($this->db);
STRING $common->formatName(ASSOC ARRAY: $creatorArray, STRING: $exportType);
Description:
This method returns the full name of a WIKINDX creator as a single string. The names of WIKINDX creators are stored in four fields in the database: firstname, initials, prefix and surname.
$creatorArray is an associative array of the creator's name: array('firstname' => 'Mickey', 'initials' => 'W D', 'prefix' => 'de', 'surname' => 'Maus'). The initials element must be a space-delimited string of initials.
$exportType is a string indicating the target format ('endnote', 'bibtex', 'ris' etc.) and delimiters between elements of $creatorArray will be dealt with differently according to the value here.
Usage:
include_once("core/file/export/EXPORTCOMMON.php");
$common = new EXPORTCOMMON($this->db);
while($row = $this->db->fetchAssoc($sth))
$name = $common->formatName($creatorArray, 'bibtex');
