Abstract does not expand

SerengetiT 12 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 12 years ago 1

The abstract does not expand on my websites


Thanks!

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 years ago

This should be fixed now. Please let me know if you notice any more issues with this. The UBC page seems to be doing some server-side caching (probably of the php request), so there it isn't working yet as of right now (7:48pm on pi-day), but should start working soon.


Thanks for pointing this out!

Abstracts not expanding proberly when references are grouped by keywords (multiple keywords per ref)

Laurie Bayeah 11 years ago updated 11 years ago 3
Hello,

When the list of references are grouped by keywords, referecnes can show up multiple times in the list if thay have several keywords.

For example Bidule2014 will be listed under 3 different keywords and so will appear 3 times. Now if I try to expand the abstract of the 2nd or 3rd instance of Bidule2014 the abstract will not expand there and will expand under the first appearance of Bidule 2014.

It is a very minor issue, but maybe you did not know that it was behaving this way :-)

Cheers and thank you for your amazing work on Bibbase

Zotero groups

Jeroen Smid 12 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 12 years ago 4

Dear Christian,


Would it be an idea to creat a way to display zotero groups using bibbase just like it is possible now to do with Mendeley groups? Seems relevant given the fact that some are now leaving Mendeley for Zotero since the first is bought by Elsevier. In any case, I prefer Zotero :)


Thanks!

Answer

Jeroen,


I've now implemented full support for Zotero. You can now use your Zotero library, collection, or group with BibBase with just a few clicks.

Embed BibBase into google site

Julyan Arbel 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 2
Copy-paste of the JavaScript snippet into an html page of my google site gives the following error: "failed to load external url".

However, from this link (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.it/2014/10/updating-our-technical-webmaster.html) in the help page of BibBase, I thought this Google embedding was possible.

Also related to this question about Wordpress embedding: http://bibbase.userecho.com/topic/867779-feature-request-unable-to-embed-bibbase-into-wordpresscom-site/
Answer

You should have gotten an error from Google sites, telling you that script tags are not permitted. This is what I see when I try that:



So no, you can't currently use BibBase on Google Sites. I recommend github pages as an alternative.

Sorry for the ugly debug message, but this is actually just pointing out a problem with your bib file. There is a comma missing behind "title" in the dehghani2008 entry.
@inproceedings{dehghani2008,
  title={Order of Magnitude Reasoning in Modeling Moral Decision-Making}
  author={Morteza Dehghani and Emmett Tomai and Ken Forbus and Matthew Klenk},
  journal={Proceedings of the 22nd international workshop on qualitative reasoning},

Grouping by Keyword feature seems broken

Amit Deokar 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 years ago 7

It used to be the case (at least some months back) that BibBase allowed grouping publications by using the keywords mentioned in Mendeley or BibTeX. This does not seem to be the case anymore. Can this feature be restored? It is very useful to demonstrate/list publications according to research streams/themes.

Answer
Christian Fritz 11 years ago

Hi Amit,

This should still be possible. The dropdown menu doesn't contain this, but on your page you can still use the &groupby=keyword parameter in your bibbase URL. Please also give me your bibbase URL so I can verify that for myself.

Filtering issues

Benjamin Parrell 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 6 years ago 4

I'm having a few issues with filtering. Our goal for using Bibbase was to have a single repository that individual lab members could also pull from for their individual web pages. For the most part, everything is working great. I seem to find two issues though:

1) Filtering by author doesn't seem to work with my bibtex file for some reason (e.g. http://bibbase.org/show?bib=udel.edu%2F~parrell%2FSPPlab.bib&msg=embed&filter=author:Heinz)

2) Is it possible to filter by more than one criteria?


I really appreciate your support--Bibbase is a great service, and maybe I'm just asking it to do too much.

Can you point me to a bibtex file with which you are having this problem? This should work. What is the error you are getting?

Thanks.
