Feature request: Tags cloud and research bar

jdam vor 5 Jahren aktualisiert von Christian Fritz vor 2 Jahren 3

Hi,

Thank you for your work.

I would like to know if there is any way to display a clickable "tag/keyword cloud" above the bibliography so that my users can have a direct view of what's in the bibliography. (I have over 100 keywords for a bibliography of over 6000 references). Also why not add the possibility of "search" toolbar?

Doable ?

Thank you in advance for your reply

Best wishes,

Stay safe,

J

Advanced Sorting?

Martin Roth vor 10 Jahren aktualisiert von Christian Fritz vor 5 Jahren 2
I'm using BibBase with Zotero for my publication list. Currently, I'm, using the group option to sort my publications according to categories (monographs, translations, articles...) This works fine, but in order to determine the order of the categories on the website, I have to add a number in front of them. Also, doing so requires another group specification for year if I want the entries to be sorted in the order of appearance, which messes the site up a bit. Is there any way of sorting/grouping entries "silently", without visualizing them on the website, or a future plan to enable a feature that allows something like that?
Ideally, this would allow me to have 

1. monographs
...
...


2. articles
...
...

listed without the number to sort them, and the entries automatically sorted by year or another category without the "group" option.

Just a suggestion! I love your work.

Bootstrap css conflicts with page

blueflygreen vor 8 Jahren aktualisiert von Mireille Pasos vor 1 vor einem Jahr 8

Is there a way to restrict the bootstrap css to just the widget? It conflicts with css already on my page.

Images next to citations

Pe Ter vor 9 Jahren aktualisiert von FlorentF9 vor 9 Monaten 6

I appreciate the great flexibility with BibBase. Still I have a question for a more dedicated Bibliography, namely one with small images beside each publication (e.g. similar to here: http://ttic.uchicago.edu/~mmaire/ ). Do you think this is possible (e.g. with manual modification of the style file)? We could easily introduce a new bibtex field "publication_thumbnail" referring to a url of a jpg or png. But how could we display this image in our webpage at the right position with bibbase? Any thoughts?

Glad to see some pull for this feature. This is a feature we have been considering adding to BibBase. I don't think it's possible with the current styling capabilities alone (themes + CSS).

Failure in retrieving a bibtex file from a zotero group

Droplaug vor 7 Jahren 0

I'm trying to create a bibtex file from a zotero group but keep getting the following error message

BibBase: Error retrieving bibtex file.
Request was:

https://api.zotero.org/groups/2059934/items?key=9mrXH5RoOmSNchCUQOYGSVKJ&format=bibtex&limit=100
{ 'User-Agent': 'bibbase' }


I have no problem in retrieving files from other zotero collections.

Group by keyword ordering

Yaoliang Yu vor 9 Jahren aktualisiert von David Knowles vor 8 Jahren 1

The current group by keyword function by default orders the entries in ascending order. Is it possible to let the user control the ordering?

I am trying to use the field keyword to add a preprint section, along with each year in a separate section. Right now it works but I would prefer the preprint section appear in the beginning, then 2016, 2015, etc.


Thanks for any help!

Suggestions for improvements : localization, BibBase as a downloadable, etc.

Jean-Philippe Ung vor 9 Jahren aktualisiert von Christian Fritz vor 9 Jahren 1

Hello,


Great work with the BibBase project. I have a few suggestions for future improvements.


(1) Localization

Is this something you are envisioning in the future ?


(2) Standalone BibBase library

I was wondering whether you were thinking of creating a standalone js library for BibBase.

Right now, I am seeing the following inconveniences when embedding in an existing website:

  • conflicts with existing Bootstrap and jQuery and having to resort to noConflict mode.
  • impossibility of using an async method to load the script in the footer and write the output in a specific container.
  • security concerns due to js scripting methods being added from a domain (bibbase.org) that's not the same origin as the existing website.

Thanks again for the development of BibBase !

Improper parsing of author field

Raphael ‘kena’ Poss vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Christian Fritz vor 9 Jahren 5

I believe BibBase improperly handles author lists of the form


   Author = {FamilyName1, FirstName1 and FamilyName2, FirstName2 and ...}


For example with the entry:

@techreport{poss.13.mg,
   Author = {Poss, {Raphael `kena'}},
   Institution = {University of Amsterdam},
   Month = {March},
   Number = {arXiv:1303.4892v1 [cs.AR]},
   Title = {On whether and how {D-RISC} and {Microgrids} can be kept relevant (self-assessment report)},
   Url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.4892},
   Year = {2013}}


the author name is incorrectly reported as "Poss and Raphael kena" instead of "Poss, R."

The new bibtex parser we've deployed recently is able to parse all these formats correctly. The somewhat degraded case of no "and"s at all is handled by breaking at every second comma. This is fragile for cases that, for instance, involve suffixes (like ", Jr."), but those cases are rare.

Could you also display the DOI and use it to create a link?

Almut Eisenträger vor 10 Jahren aktualisiert von Christian Fritz vor 10 Jahren 4
I am a big fan of DOIs, because they make finding papers so much easier and create persistent links. It would be great if you could 
- display the DOI in the citation and
- use it to create a link, especially if no url is given.
Antwort
Christian Fritz vor 10 Jahren
This is now implemented. If there is a field "doi" in the bibtex, then BibBase will show a link for that.
