[VuFind-Tech] Export to Refworks

[Markus F. <in...@fl...>]

I just realised that the export to refworks does not work really good. 
This maybe because, in my case, these are all "Articles" in Vufind.

However Vufind uses the "call back implementation" of Refworks. But 
actually there is a much simpler method by sending the information to 
Refworks by OpenURL:

http://www.refworks.com/directexport.htm#OpenURLSpecs

Regarding Vufind this a two liner:

     /**
      * Redirect to the RefWorks site and then die -- support method for 
getExport().
      *
      * @access  protected
      */
     protected function redirectToRefWorks()
     {
         global $configArray;

         // Construct OpenURL
         $openurl = $this->getOpenURL();

         // Build up the RefWorks URL:
         $url = $configArray['RefWorks']['url'] . 
'/express/expressimport.asp?';
         $url .= $openurl;

         header("Location: {$url}");
         die();
     }
}


This does the job very well! Could this work for general use, and 
replace the "call back method"?

Works also, when your installation is behind a proxy...
