Script to put a custom CSS style
Hello,
If you are embedding your bibbase page into your own page, then you just need to add your css to your own page just like any other css, i.e., add
<link href="/bibbase.css" rel="stylesheet">
to the head in your html file.
Fold/unfold customization
I'm using BibBase to display our group's publications list by year. Rather than folding/unfolding all years at once, I was wondering if the default view can be set to have the most recent year unfolded, while leaving the others folded for the user to open themselves? Let me know if this is doable. Thanks!
This is not directly supported, but if you know a little bit of javascript you can use that to accomplish it. Just make the default folded and then run toggleGroup('group_2017') some time after page load. Timing this right might be tricky though.
CSS seems to have no effect
I am new to CSS coding so this may be a stupid question but I am trying to follow your suggestions on the support forum to change the "type" headings. However, the CSS I wrote seems to have no effect:
https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://www.dropbox.com/s/epjy4lodj36qfsl/scc.bib?dl=1&group0=type&nocache=1&https://www.dropbox.com/s/nucyj6u35zf0cwj/scc.css?dl=1&filter=keywords:SCC&theme=side#
Could you please let me know why?
THank you!
A CSS really only makes sense when you embed your BibBase listing in your own page. I see that you are embedding it in https://scc.okstate.edu/publications. You need to add the CSS file directly to the head of the HTML of that page, like you are doing with the other CSS files that are already referenced there.
BibBase not updating citations from Zotero on my website
I am not sure why the BibBase entries on my website are not updating, reflexing updates (i.e. new citations) in my Zotero database.
For example, these do not match:
Zotero Group: https://www.zotero.org/groups/arcticcirc/items/collectionKey/H8RHDR58
Webpage with embedded html/javascript: https://www.arcticcirc.net/david-seekell
Using:
<script src="https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2Fcirc-publications&jsonp=1&filter=authors:Seekell[^a-z]"></script>
Any suggestions?

Hello I am new user of Bibbase.
Why does iframes BibBase css not display properly in Internet Explorer?
BibBase using iframes looks great in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It seems that CSS does not display properly in Internet Explorer.
Compare: https://www.arcticcirc.net/janpkarlsson (at bottom of page) in IE and any other browser.
Any suggestions on how to get IE to apply the BibBase CSS properly?
How to filter Zotero for strict results?
How can I filter Zotero so that my filter is only strictly filtered? For example, author "Lau" is filtered as Lau* using the below code, but I would like strictly 'Lau'.
The filter value is a regular expression. So "Lau[^a-z]" should work for you.
"Excellent! Next, you can embed this page using one of several options."
When I embed my Zotero pubs using BibBase into our website (www.arcticcirc.net) using both the java and iframes methods a pretty green box appears above the citations that says "Excellent! Next, you can embed this page using one of several options."
How can this be suppressed? I have already embedded by page, so the message is a bit strange.
There is a suffix on the URL "&msg=embed". Just remove that and the message will no longer show. It should have been removed already when using any of snippets in that message.
Filtering Zotero group library by author (and other options)
I have a Zotero group for my research centre. I would like to subset the output from BibBase by researcher on their homepages.
Here is my BibBase URL:
I have tried adding &filter=author:Karlsson
The result is no filter at all. I have also tried filter=year:2017, again with no luck!
What am I doing wrong?
PS: I just discovered BibBase and I am very thankful for your excellent effort!
There were two problem: the field name to filter authors on is `authors` (not author), but also, it can be very tricky to use the right syntax when using zotero, because some of the arguments need to be encoded, so that BibBase doesn't interpreted them but passes them on to Zotero (e.g., format). But others, the ones for BibBase, must not be. In your case you were using an encoded representation of the ampersand, which meant it was forwarded to Zotero, but it needs to be interpreted by BibBase.
This link works:
Similarly, to filter by year you would use, e.g.:
Feature Request: Search local collection (single Bibtex file)
Is there a way to search only local results? For instance, if I have a single bibtext file (or zotero collection) that I have embedded on my website, I would like to be able to search across these results. For very large collections (100-1000) having browse-only functions (by year, by type, etc) is not sufficient.
