HAL Publications - Archives Ouvertes

Drupal 9/10/11 tooling for consuming the HAL (Hyper Article en Ligne) API and rendering publication lists inside Drupal.

Version 3 (Legacy AMU_HAL)

Still available for existing sites that rely on the historical AMU_HAL workflow.

• Requires per-user HAL metadata (HAL ID, first name, last name, team reference).
• Depends on the Chosen module + library for the legacy selectors.
• Provides team-aware blocks, Vancouver citation output, and BibTeX/RTF exports.
• Offers optional user profile tabs for displaying author-specific publications.

Version 4 (HAL Publications 4.x)

Modern rewrite focused on accuracy, simplicity, and HAL API alignment.

• Hardcoded HAL API field lists shared across APA7/MLA9/Vancouver/Harvard citations.
• New Hal Author content entity decouples authors from Drupal users.
• Streamlined configuration: portals, collections, SSL toggle, and API timeout only.
• Block-level sorting with predefined options (newest/oldest, author A-Z, title A-Z).
• Built-in pagination, standard filters (author, year, text), and 10k HAL API row cap.
• Composer metadata, GitLab CI template, PHPStan/PHPCS/CSpell clean, updated translations.

Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x

• Back up existing configuration, then uninstall any unused AMU-specific plugins.
• Remove deprecated config keys (API fields, grouping, facets, cache) and re-export.
• Create Hal Author entities or migrate existing author data before enabling new blocks.
• Rebuild blocks to pick one of the new sort options and clear caches.
• Keep the legacy user publications tab enabled only if you must stay on 3.x—this feature is not part of 4.x.
